Introduction Literacy facilitator and English teacher by day, book review blogger by night -- when I can pull myself away from the books I'm reading to write about them, that is! I'll be posting reviews regularly of books I read -- both good and bad -- as a practice for my pie-in-the-sky dream of getting paid to write book reviews. Let me know if you have any titles you'd like to see reviewed here!
Interests Larkspurs were my great-grandmother's favorite flower. Philip Larkin is one of my favorite poets. My wonderful husband is an amateur ornithologist (we used to take a special trip to see horned larks in the spring!). I am a lover of the printed word. Hence the name of my blog: larkspurliterature.
Favorite Books How about favorite authors? Henry James--Agatha Christie--Jane Austen--Ian McEwan--Carol Goodman--and Chaim Potok come immediately to mind...
