Paige Connell has been a Wacoan since 2002 when she attended Baylor University, fell in love with the city, and never left. She works at Midway High School and has been teaching English since 2009. Paige’s passion is reading: she regularly reads 120 books or more each year and loves to share her thoughts on Goodreads and social media. Additionally, Paige co-authored the children’s book Goodnight Waco on behalf of the Junior League of Waco in 2021. When she’s not reading or listening to a book, you can find her nursing a mug of tea, analyzing Taylor Swift lyrics for figurative language elements, or spending time with her family—her husband Chance, her daughter Cara, and her Corgi mutt Remy.

Magical realism isn’t my preferred genre—I typically gravitate toward psychological thrillers with a sharp twist or historical fiction with heart-wrenching accuracy, but when I heard about this debut novel, The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown, a book about books with a unique concept and complex world building just a shade off of our own, I couldn’t resist.

Hi, and welcome to another edition of Likely Stories. I’m Paige Connell, and I teach English at Midway High School. When this year comes to a close, if The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon isn’t my top 1-2 best books of the year, I will be shocked.

Hi, and welcome back to Likely Stories. I'm Paige Connell, an English teacher at Midway High School, with a review of the most precious book about finding your purpose, caring for others, and the beauty of life-even among the smallest of creatures. Sipsworth by Simon van Booy moved me to tears and filled my cup.
