For ICAPGen, you have to complete a big research paper, then if you pass that portion of the process, you take a two-part test to prove you know what you're doing. I took an e-course to prepare myself for the accreditation process and now I'm working on my research report. It's fun and I'm learning lots :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-32593664594025103692019-05-22T13:30:17.977-07:002019-05-22T13:30:17.977-07:00I liked Amina Voice and really liked Educated.

Through the school year it is almost all middle grade, professional or Book Group books, but I DID listen to The Good Neighbor and just finished it this weekend, as a matter of fact. It was narrated by LeVar Burton. Wow, two heroes at once! Loved it. I teared up at the end when the music for the show started and the trolley's bells rang out. How I've missed that gentle man. You will enjoy the back story if you loved the movie!<br />Your summer reading list looks delish. I may dip into a few myself. Educated is in my TBR basket right now but so is Saints! It's a Book group read for July and it will probably take me that long!<br />Keep on Reading....2 more days, 2 more days...Gayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08595597461575553728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-57192695370359109512019-05-21T20:18:18.158-07:002019-05-21T20:18:18.158-07:00I feel like the last person on the planet to read ...I feel like the last person on the planet to read it!

It sounds excellent as does her new one. <br /><br />You're sure you don't want to read the Ross County history? It's free on Google Books! LOL. It's not a requirement to read it for my project, but I want to get a good feel for the county's history, economy, etc. The book really is more interesting than it sounds!<br /><br />One of the requirements for the project is that the family had to have stayed in the same general area for four generations, which most of my family did not. The one I'm researching is actually a family I'm related to more by marriage than blood. It's kind of amazing that they stayed pretty much in the same county for so long.<br /><br />Thanks for coming by, Katherine!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-184939948339489452019-05-21T15:17:04.551-07:002019-05-21T15:17:04.551-07:00I love you spin Susan because I didn't do it t...I love you spin Susan because I didn't do it this week for the same reason as you. I have read the first three in Robert Dugoni's series and loved them. I need to get back to this series. I also really enjoyed Educated, it was a tough story though. I started to listen to the Fred Rogers story, but decided to read it instead, it was too detailed to listen to.
