I wasn't able to go to BEA this year, so I'm participating in Armchair BEA ! As part of Armchair BEA, I was paired up with another blogger for an interview and I got to meet Molly from My Cozy Book Nook . Get to know a little bit about Molly and be sure to check out her blog! 1. You're an English teacher. What book has been the most fun to teach? This is so incredibly tough to answer as I love to teach almost every one. I would say that Tale of Two Cities is probably the most fun in my British Literature class (this year especially --- the students really got into the symbolism and foreshadowing). In 9th grade it is a toss between Fahrenheit 451 and To Kill a Mockingbird; in 8th grade we study A Midsummer Night's Dream the entire year and that has really been a blast; and in 7th grade I would say I really enjoy teaching The Hobbit (although Tuck Everlasting runs a close second place) 2.

And not only does she blog, she runs an online bookstore-how cool is that? Me: I love the heading for your blog. Did you pick the books to put on it or is a random snapshot of your bookshelf? Jackie: Thanks! That is a photograph of my bookshelf, but I admit to moving a few books around so that all my favourite authors appeared. Me: What is your favorite genre to read? Jackie: I don’t really have a favourite genre - I like reading anything that has a great plot and strong characters. I suppose that I mainly read adult fiction or literary fiction, but my favourite book of 2009 so far is The Hunger Games (a YA book) and I also recently enjoyed The Strain (a horror thriller) Me: I Iove The Hunger Games-I hope you get to read Catching Fire soon! Why did you start blogging? Jackie: I started b...
