I'm pleased to be participating in the must read fun again this year! All the books on my list are new 2025 releases (see publishing dates for each book listed below). I hope this reading goal motivates me to read more books throughout the year so I can introduce these new titles to my students. I'll provide updates on my reading in April, September, and December.
