I have officially finished Billy Summers by Stephen King. I absolutely love this book! It is one of those reads where the story stays with you awhile after. Stephen King was able to make the "bad guy" in this story not so terrible. I feel the ending ties the book up well and leaves the reader thinking, but satisfied with the conclusion. I can't wait to dive into another book written by Stephen King.
Well, I wanted to take a step away from a teaching post and tell you about this amazing book I am reading! I have started collecting hardcover Stephen King books with my TeacherPayTeacher sales. It will take me probably many years, but I am buying each book one by one! Reading his books has been a huge stress relief from the world of teaching Special Education. There are days I leave work absolutely defeated but after a few minutes of reading I am able to escape the mental exhaustion that plagues many teachers these day. The one I am currently reading is Billy Summers. I am about 150 pages into it. I absolutely love the hit man, writer, and genius main character named Billy. This book will make you think, fall in love with the character, and wonder will he go through with his last job? If you are looking for a great adult book that has you on your seat look no further!
Today is Friday. Congratulations to all my teacher friends we made it through another week. I don't know about how you are feeling, but for me, I am thankful this week is over. It seems like as educators more and more we are pressured more than we can handle. If we don't do it right away and correctly, we will be crushed by the pressure of the world around us. So, do yourself a favor tonight you deserve to sit with your feet up and relax. Forget about all the things that you left on your desk unfinished or the stack of papers in your teacher bag. For once be human and just do nothing besides enjoying family while doing something you enjoy. For me it is reading. I will read my Stephen King novel tonight and not think about the heavy load that awaits me on Monday.
