12 Books for 2014

Jolanthe, over at Homeschool Creations recently posted her commitment to read 12 nonfiction books in 2014, and I thought it was a wonderful idea! I love to read, but almost always choose fiction (despite the large number of nonfiction books on my Goodreads To-Read shelf!). I think forcing myself to read some more nonfiction will help me grow!

I tried to choose quite a variety in my 12 books.  Since I will be student teaching in a physics classroom this semester, I have included some teaching and science books.
