Book List

I'm an English teacher, and the daughter of an English teacher. I grew up with a house full of everything from Shakespeare to literature anthologies to sappy romance novels. Inspired by Laura Fraser's All Over the Map, I began keeping a book list of everything I'm reading. The lists for each year go in reverse chronological order. Any and all book recommendations are welcome!
