I'm also working on the job situation for fall. I know that I have the job at the elementary school, so at least I've got a backup plan if I can't find a teaching job. I've been to about 5 interview since the end of May and I hope something bites soon so I can start to collect everything that I need to and brush up on the various skills that I need to have. I haven't done anything related to what I would be teaching in a while so I am a bit rusty. We'll see how things go. At least interviews are picking up and districts are finally starting to call.
With some of this downtime I was able to finish another book.
Book 13: The Ring: The Last Knight Templar's Inheritance
This book started out okay, then died about half way through. I also stopped reading it because it started just going downhill really really quickly. I continued to read it and it picked up a bit more near the end. The ending was a bit of a letdown.
I was intrigued by the tag line of the book "An engrossing search for a hidden templar treasure" and was excited that this was going to be a fun adventure. There is a bit of adventure there, but the way it was written is what threw me for a bit of a loop. It is told in first person and at times it seems more like a journal entry than someone trying to tell a story.
It was a fun story but like I said, it began to die at about the half mark. There is an interesting twist near the end and an even bigger twist at the very end.
I don't know if I would recommend this book, but there is a lot of historical facts in there so the author did do his research and the fact that it is set in Barcelona gives it a bit of an exotic flare.
Read it and judge for yourself.
