"I’m a journalist, a teacher and an e-book fiend. I work as a French teacher at a K-3 private school. I use drama, music, puppets, props and all manner of tech in my job, and I love it. I enjoy moving between all the classes and having a relationship with each child in the school. Kids are hilarious, and I enjoy watching them grow and learn. My current device of choice for reading is my Amazon Kindle Touch, but I have owned or used devices by Sony, Kobo, Aluratek and others. I also read on my tablet devices using the Kindle app, and I enjoy synching between them, so that I’m always up to date no matter where I am or what I have with me."

  1. The harpercollins site is busted. I tried lookng at their scifi selection and couldn’t get past the first 12 titles. Hitting next page or setting the number per page to something larger kicked me out to the “all” selection so 22,000 books to browse instead of 200. I’m not looking at 22,000 books in the hopes of finding something to read.
