Books For April and May of 2007

The books I plan to start, complete, and/or purchase in the months of April and May have been listed below. The books that I am in the process of reading, wanting to start, and plan to purchase for future reading have been rightly notated on the list below with corresponding italicized words. Additionally, I typically have four books in the hopper (in the process of reading). These four books always fall in one of the following four categories: children's literature, personal (self-helpish type books), religious, and Miss Alainius.

April and May's books are:

* The Moral Imperative of School Leadership by Michael Fullan (completed but just need to post)
* The Book of John (in progress)
* The Leadership Challenge by James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner (completed several times but just need to post)
