Books I have read in 2015

Usually in December I post my annual review of my goals from the previous year and write some big events from the year. This year I cannot do that because I deleted 7 years worth of blog posts including all of my goal posts. I'm sad about my decision, but it gave me the chance to rebuild my blog to be something more productive. I still have not decided how I'm going to do that, or what I want to write about routinely yet. What I did keep track of throughout 2015  that I decided to share was the books I have read this past year. Here is the list :)

*Angels&Demons

-Dan Brown

I loved the movie so I had to read the book. I'm also attempting to teach my children that the best movies start out as books first, so I'm taking my own advice and reading the original stories.

*Raising Boys

-Steve Biddough (paperback, yay!)

I need all the help I can get in this department. 

*Teach like a champion

-Doug Lemov

I am planning on reading this a second time, specific techniques to put to use in my classroom immediately. 

*The Time Travelers Wife

-Audrey niffeneggar 

Another book that is a favorite movie of mine. 

*How to Answer Interview Questions

-Peggy McKee

I listened to this on my commutes to Montrose for teaching interviews (paid off to!) 

*How to stay motivated (x4)

-Zig Ziglar 

I always have one of his books playing to keep me upbeat. 

*Changing The Picture (x2)

-Zig Ziglar

Again, he's awesome! 

*Inferno

-Dan Brown

After Angels & Demons I was intrigued to read another Dan Brown, loved it! 

*How Children Succeed 

-Paul Tough 

Another "work" book, very interesting. 

*Gone Girl 

-Gillian Flynn 

I had unanswered questions after watching the movie. 

*The 5 Elements of Effective Thinking

-Edward B Burger 

Self help, cause you know I'm crazy ;) 

*My Sister's Keeper

-Jodi Picoult 

A much better and more in depth story than the movie! Loved it!
