This was originally reading log to share with teachers. It has evolved into both a reading log and some essays connection my reading to contemporary issues and my personal travels. My reading is very eclectic as you will see.

Swantown: The Secret Journal of Susanna Shakespeare, by Micahel J. Ortiz
This gives a rich sense of everyday life in Elizabethean England. The plot is really quite gripping. Susanna want to be a "player" and "writer" like her father, the famous William Shakespeare. But, on the way her uncle gets in trouble with the "censor" and Suzanna needs to help save him.I'm not so certain that the historical facts about William's relationship with his family are accurate. But, it is motivating me to go back and confirm what I thought I knew about Shakespeare's relationship with his wife and children.Good read!
