Happy New Year!

My name is Silvia and this is my 3rd year as part of this group (although, admittedly, I haven't been as involved as I would like to be). I'm a middle school teacher and have recently gone back to school to get my master's degree. Although this means I will have less time to read this year, I'd like to still use this thread as a way to set goals and track what I am able to read.

Happy reading everyone!!
