Delaney,

Thanks for the tag...this is a meme I'll have fun with (says the lit major)!

I smiled when I saw the Angelo & Cross text on your list. I held it up in a faculty workshop I was teaching just last week and said it was one of my favorite teacher books of all time.

Hi Tammy,
I'm looking forward to seeing your list. And yes, I recommend the Angelo & Cross text frequently when I'm teaching workshops for college professors.
