Escapism

Since the NYSEC conference is coming up shortly, we'll be leaving tomorrow, I decided I should fill y'all in on what I've been keeping myself busy with lately.

My presentation is on Fantasy YA Lit that should be included in the classroom library for students' perusal.

So, I have been doing LOTS of research, aka reading for fun to amass a larger list of titles.

Here are some great titles to check out: Christopher Paolini's Eragon and Eldest, Alison Croggon's The Naming (and eventually when it arrives from b&n: The Riddle), Ursula K. LeGuin's Gifts (I think Voices is also in this "series"), and of course, Colfer's Artemis Fowl.
I hope you, too, can find a great way to ... escape.
