December List o' Learning

So, the last month of the year begins. I have quite handily met my reading goal and exceeded it for the year. Which leads me to my reading goal for next year. Clearly I need to be reading a lot of YA literature in order to keep up with my students' reading. However, I need to be reading more than just YA. Anyway it's something to think on.
