Summer reading season is here 📚 We asked faculty in the University of Delaware Department of English to share their favorite summer beach reads, and we’ll be featuring a new recommendation each week all summer long.

This week’s recommendation comes from Professor and English Education Coordinator Jill Ewing Flynn: “The Road to Tender Hearts” by Annie Hartnett.

Heading to the bookstore this weekend? Here’s the full reading list: https://www.udel.edu/academics/colleges/cas/units/departments/english/about-us/summer-reading-recommendations/

For University of Delaware Class of 2026 graduate Joey Spagnolo, joy comes from building community and showing up authentically for his students. 🍎

Spagnolo earned dual degrees in English education and women and gender studies, and completed his student teaching placement at William Penn High School during his time as an undergraduate student at UD.

He’ll take the lessons learned in his classroom with him as he continues pursuing the joy of teaching as a graduate student at Teachers College - Columbia University.
