Reading List
Welcome to the Maine Woods
As I was checking out the opening weekend of a new bookstore in town, there happened to be an author signing event to promote the work of a local Maine author. I recognized the name, but really didn’t think much of it until I found myself back in my classroom struggling to pick something to read. As I scanned the shelves, I came across a few titles that had that very same author’s name on them that had been donated to me earlier in the year. After a quick scan, I picked out the one that grabbed my attention the most and settled down to crack open the cover.

The 20 Popular Victorian Novels You Need To Read First
Greetings, discerning readers! If one takes a cursory stroll down the labyrinthine corridors of the literary world, there are certain epochs and genres that beckon irresistibly, like sirens singing from across time. Ah, the Victorian era—how could we ever resist your beguiling charms? Spanning from 1837 to 1901, the era named after Queen Victoria is a trove of cultural artifacts that beckon us with a siren song of eloquence, elaborate plots, and deeply textured characters. Today, I make the case for why the Victorian novel should be not just a passing dalliance, but a sustained engagement in your reading journey.

A TBR Pile As An Aesthetic Choice
This is not the same brain that read through Gone With the Wind in a week in middle school. It's definitely not the same brain that won Accelerated Reading awards at the end of every year in elementary school. I can barely read exit signs on the highway now.

Web Zines To Revive Your Sense of Wonder in Literature
These online tales of tender hearts, cracked nails, wandering feet, and tensed jaws are almost obscene in their raw sentiment. And I think, rather than paying a subscription to a magazine that's lost touch with the common man, you should instead subscribe to these zines- your money goes farther, means more, and gives more opportunities to some of the best artists and storytellers the world has to offer.
