Mr. Schu's Reading Road Trip

Donna, Ivan, and I spent eleven marvelous days touring the South. We visited independent bookshops, small and large libraries, interesting museums, historic landmarks, and offbeat attractions. I, of course, always had one of my favorite books inside my bag. I would pull it out, start reading, and Donna would quickly snap a photograph.

I hope you enjoy this year's Reading Road Trip video. Maybe it will inspire you to read one my favorite books in the wild. Happy watching and reading!
