pickThe story of the lives of the five Dunbar boys.
Markus Zusak is one of my favorite authors, however, it always takes at least 50 pages for me to get into any of his novels. But once I get there he‘s a great storyteller.

After a year and a half hiatus from my reading journey. I am back at my original challenge of trying to read all the books I own. I put all 119 unread book titles into an antique teapot and I draw each book. It‘s been working except I keep buying more. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
pickHere is another audiobook from the haze that was February. It‘s a gritty tale of two brothers who have been surviving on their own since their teens. Everything gets turned upside down early one morning when one of them has an accident. The book walks a fine line by making the reader empathize with everything the main characters have been through while not hiding how absolutely stupid and horrible some of their decisions are.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mount Everest is a concept indicative of achievement, yearning, and enormous audacity. And such is life, and disaster. Dixon and brother Nate set out to become the first Black American males to summit. Through alternating timelines, Outen lays out the Everest story and what follows. Dixon‘s literal, and figurative, descent was much more than expected. A very thoughtful debut!
Totally not crying while reading this middle grade novel in verse for work.
This book might be better for parents/the home than in the classroom, but would still be a cute book for the classroom library!
