About Mrs. Shirley

Hi everyone! My name is Mrs. Shirley and this is my third year at Carmody!  I am looking forward to getting to know all of you.  I am hopeful you all leave with a few books you LOVE from the year, so your reading habits are carried far into the future for you! 

A few of my favorite authors and books are: 

• The Scythe Trilogy by Neal Shusterman 

• Harry Potter by JK Rowling (I am a Hufflepuff!)

• The Caraval Series by Stephanie Garber

• Any Taylor Jenkins Reid books (Daisy Jones and the Six, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo)

• There are also so many mystery/thriller books I LOVE! If you really want a nail-biter, Riley Sager is amazing (Lock Every Door). 

In my free time, I love to bake, garden, read, and hang out with our cute puppies.  We just adopted a second dog, Peach! Peach and her sister, Bean, will be featured in many pictures in our room! 

Can't wait to find the books that you love!  I am looking forward to an amazing year in ELA and seeing so much growth from you all!
