(a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish)

This week we have been asked to list the top ten blog posts that are most telling of our personalities.  I vary from very serious about the books I read, to passionate about certain topics and occasionally, I allow my cheeky side to come through – I think the more comfortable I become with blogging, the more of that will come out.

1.  Wannabe Lisbeth Salander: I read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy at the beginning of the year and got a little obsessed with Lisbeth Salander.  She is so cool and smart and doesn’t give a shit about anything.  Awesome.

2.  A woman’s life: the more I write this blog, the more I realize just how much a woman’s life, roles, expectations placed upon her and those she has of herself, intrigue me.  I love books about the way women choose to live their life and books that showcase our strength.  I love writing about it too.  This post is an article I wrote that shows just that.

3.  The article Women Still Can’t Have It All gets me going:  see above.

4. Using a toddler book to understand teenagers:  I reviewed Harvey Karp PhD.’s Happiest Toddler on the Block and showed its applicability to teaching high school students.  I love this post because it was so much fun to write and it really showed me that I can do this.

5.  Mothers in Literature: part of my mother’s day gift included time to write (which is so precious) and I remember spending part of that Sunday morning writing this post – it was also included in The Major Genre Daily.

6. Teaching Inspired: I was inspired by another blogger and told a story about reading an entire novel to my English class.  Yes.  I read every word aloud to a high school English class because some in the class had admitted to never having read a book.

7.  I couldn’t finish a book:  this has never happened.  I hated the protagonist and I really struggled with giving my honest opinion.

8.  I get on a soap box:  and tell a story about a man who was belittled by his teacher in elementary school.

9.  My view on the age-old debate movie vs. book: tough one with movies being so good now and it sometimes depends upon which you experience first.

10.  Kate Chopin: I just started reading her this year!  And, I love all her writing.  The Awakening, Short Stories and other musings.

So far, these are my ten.  Any thoughts?
