Well, I read 54 books in 2005. A good year of reading for me. I tried to pick my TOP TEN. I couldn't narrow it down to 10 so below are my top 13 books for 2005. I feel like I read some really good books. Here they are in no particular order. I love them all and they stay with me for different reasons.

Why We're Doing This
Franki and I have taught in the same school district (but never in the same building) for about 20 years.
Our conversations about books started as very casual chat, but have grown into semi-regular meetings, extensive emails, and an informal Mock Newbery Club.
This year, we decided to take our conversations out into the world via a blog, to see what other folks are thinking about books and reading.
