I recently rediscovered my love of reading and love the different types of books that the book club offers me. I teach high school World History, U.S. History, and Government & Economics and can't imagine a better job!  I love any historical fiction and am known to loose myself in the occasional chic lit.  When I'm not teaching or reading, I can be found hanging out with my good looking husband and dog, planning our next travel adventure, or working on our house.

I teach World History as well as U.S. History at Mt. Diablo High School inside of the International Hospitality and Tourism Academy. In addition,  I work with the Concord Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corp. Lastly, I am getting married to the most amazing woman in the entire world. (See the person listed above me). My favorite book that I have read so far in the book club was Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
