I stop by the thrift store every week, and take a swing through the book section for kids books for our Little Free Library (we‘re right near the elementary school, so it gets a lot of kid business.) I found a like-new copy of Rebel Girls for less than a dollar, and it‘ll go in the LFL tomorrow morning before school.
Happy #InternationalWomensDay !l

I love these books. They make wonderful bedtime stories to read to my nieces about influential women from around the world ๐Ÿ’œ #BeSomeone ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป #JulyJam ๐Ÿชท๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒน

My new pillow came today! ๐Ÿ˜

Enjoyed this listen on my way to and from work this week. Easy listen.

Both volumes are wonderfully illustrated and inspiring compilations of 200 real heroine stories revealing a world of infinite possibilities

A brilliant book ๐Ÿ˜Š very informative - Read for the Written In The Stars readathon #writteninthestarsreadathon 5/5

I find this series to be more of a great idea than a great compilation. The idea behind these are wonderful but they are not very well thought out. This is not stories for bedtime. This would spark way to many questions and much conversation for young children to grasp before bed. Then again, I don't think that all of these women necessarily changed the world either.

This wasn't for me. I love storys of women who are worth looking up to but this had some who definitely weren't worth their pages. I definitely would not put this on my children's shelves.

I‘m not just a girl, I‘m a steminist and a feminist who remembers the strong females of the past.

I read the tagged book and I really enjoyed the story of Jacquotte Delahaye (Back From the Dead Red), and I thought her story was really cool and wondered if there was a historical fiction novel about her. Google didn‘t have any answers, but I would love to know if there were any recommendations!

Saw this book on my last minute St Nick Target run tonight, and I totally want it!!! #bookenvy

I really enjoy these books it‘s fun to learn about all of the fascinating females

The book features the real-life stories of 100 inspiring women and accompanied by a full-page illustration for each story, created by a female illustrator. There‘s a Rebel Girls 2 and I‘ll be interested to know who other #extraordinary women are being featured.

This was ok. It's pretty basic. Definitely a kids book. The narrators are quite good, Ashley Judd and Alicia Keyes among others.

Reading a couple of these tonight. This book is so interesting! I‘m learning a lot!

I was approved for this title on #netgalley today and I cannot express to y‘all how excited I am for it! These are my favorite books to gift to young girls and I had no idea they were coming out with one that‘s focused on immigration, a topic so near and dear to my heart. I cannot wait to dive in! #netgalleyreviews #rebelgirls #arcreviewer

This was ๐Ÿ™Œ on ๐ŸŽง

My second grader was just diagnosed as Dyslexic (it turns out this explains 1/2 of my family‘s reading struggles). My daughter is smart, funny, and her spatial reasoning and artistic talents are amazing. For our last round of testing (vision) we‘ve been listening to this collection of stories on the drive.

This collection is empowering and the narration is great. I can‘t wait to listen to book 2!

#crossculturalstories

100 short but interesting stories centered on 100 amazing women, from various fields, and around the world and read by an equally amazing set of female narrators.
Safe to say I loved this right? ๐Ÿ˜

Reading with my #readathon buddy.

Good Saturday.

More than one #strongheroine in this book! #31bookpics @howjessreads
Part two will soon be published in German (I want to have it in german so I can give it to all the Kids around me๐Ÿ˜‚) and Iโ€˜m very excited for it! Itโ€˜s interessting, beautifully designed and very important๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

Inspired by @Anitareads I finally started my analogue Book-Diary. I've been wanting to do this for some time, because I've found that it does me good to do things appart from the digital world.

I ๐Ÿ’œ that there are books like this for my daughter! (Her LEGO set features 2 women in the book!)

Filled with daring women (not all of whom I like or agreed with, but they are/were still extraordinary and powerful in their own right...ahem Margaret Thatcher), I like the diversity, both of profession and culture. There are pirates, dancers, athletes, scientists, politicians, activists, and more!

The artwork is so beautiful. I wish I had this when I was growing up because it's phenomenal. #girlpower

Finally came in from the library I am loving this book and learning so much.
I have chosen this book to be my night reads book, I will be dreaming of amazing woman.

Do you have a hero? Female/ male tell me.

It feels like it has been months since it has been cool enough for me to read outside! It‘s still humid, but at least the temp is below 80F!

I only have enough time for brief dips, so I‘m reading one of Maya‘s books that is easy to pick up and put down, one that we‘ve read parts of together in the past. I never grow tired of this amazing book chock full of amazing women!

Gifts for my little sister!!! Here in India, we celebrate Rakhi to celebrate the relationship of brothers and sisters. It involves great food๐Ÿ›๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿฅ˜, meeting up with family๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ง and lots of gifts ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ. But, since I don't have a brother. So, my sister and I, celebrate our relationship on Rakhi๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–. So, today these gifts were finally delivered and I am super excited to give these to her. ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿค“๐Ÿค“

A MASTERPIECE. Es definitivamente un libro que cada niรฑa del mundo debe tener! Una recopilaciรณn de cuentos de mujeres cuyo impacto y ejemplo en la historia de la humanidad ha Sido minimizado y casi condenada al olvido. Gracias a estas autoras el mundo vuelve a recordar a sus heroรญnas y adicionalmente le brindan grandes ejemplos a las nuevas generaciones!!

Feeling over the moon for finally having a copy at such a good price. Might give it out to my colleague's niece afterwards. I mean, it's such a good book to just stay in my shelf.
