Intro to The Avid Reader

Hi!

My name is Kim Maule. I'm a graduate student at the University of Saint Joseph. I'm taking this course about integrating technology as a part of my Masters of Education.

My undergraduate degree is in English, and I have always been an avid reader. In my spare time I run a book review blog, so at any given time I always have a book or three with me.

The Avid Reader

I am also an aspiring author. Last November, I participated in NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, a yearly endeavor in which participants attempt to write a first draft of a novel (30,000 words) in just 30 days. This was the first year that I participated, and although I only managed to write 8,000 words, the experience definitely reinforced my love of writing and I feel more motivated than ever to continue to work on my novel. (That, or scrap it set it lovingly aside to start fresh on a new story!)

I currently live in Farmington with my husband Nick, our Miniature Pinscher Dunkin and our cats Jasper, Smokey and Simba.

My husband and I both love to travel, and we had a destination wedding in our favorite travel destination, Walt Disney World!
