Other Things I’m Looking Forward to in January

- The days will start getting longer again. I really don’t like the dark until around 7am and then dark by around 5pm. I’m missing the sun…
- School starts again! I have to say I am looking forward to going back to school. It has been so strange not being there the past week and this week. I have to say that I am missing my students, even the more interesting ones.
I just read The Raven Boys and want to read Esther. Great month for books! Happy 2015 reading!
Thanks! I can’t wait to get to Raven Boys. I’ve heard so much about it.
