Hi, I'm a substitute teacher from Colorado. I enjoy reading different genres but right now I am reading books about other cultures, and especially memoirs of other people's experiences with other countries or cultures. I am currently reading In the Land of Invisible Women by Qanta A. Ahmed, MD and this is a very good read.

I want to begin Chris Stewart's, Driving Over Lemons series next.

I am also a member of www.postcrossing.com and its a postcard trading site from around the world - many teachers sign up to use this for their classes, so I just thought I would mention it.

Have you discovered A Wartime Poetry Journal by Effie M. Roberts? It's all written in poetry - quite lyrical, often funny, sometimes sad - full of details of everyday life in WW2 England. I have a copy to mooch. (The writer was my grandmother).
