1- When a Scholastic book order arrives, you cannot help but thank the person who told you the box was in the office, and you find yourself so excited about all of the new books for the classroom library...and this is in light of the fact that you just spent most of your bimonthly salary on those very books...
2- Anticipation is inevitable for new updates on blogs like The Nonfiction Detectives, Book Peep Wonders, Teach With Picture Books, A Year of Reading, etc. (And sometimes you proceed directly to the public library website or BarnesandNoble.com to attain a copy of whatever book(s) is(are) suggested.)
3- You are registered - and your calendar is already marked (and a sub secured) - for a multi-day reading conference in May. You might even be just a tad excited for the additional institute held pre-conference on a Sunday.
4- Free time is spent leisure reading children's and adolescent novels, using the excuse that you need to keep up with your students. (Admittedly, those books are very entertaining.)
Oh, well, let's face it. When I say "you," I really mean me. And, yes, all of the above are true - and they have happened recently.
This makes me wonder...Are there support groups for this kind of addiction?
