My first stop was #Amsterdam 🚲 and I enjoyed it SO MUCH. I went to the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum 🌻, id a walking tour, bought a Miffy, ate the best fries 🍟 in the universe and also went to this lovely bookstore, where they have a replica of the #TFIOS bank. Never forget your roots!

pickThis book is a stunning and thorough history of cancer. There were some slower moments, particularly with the discussion of research trials, but the author‘s use of compelling scientific discoveries and personal cancer stories kept me engaged. I learned so much. Kudos to the author and narrator.
pickAn astounding amount of research that was put together well. Informative and interesting.
I would love to see this book used as a mentor text! I think students could enjoy writing through the POV of a random object in their life. For instance, an object in a thrift store like the type writer, or even their own pencil!
I think this book would be great for students to read. The themes of dealing with a parent going missing, let along discovering that a parent left them, could be a very real topic for some students, and give them a protagonist to connect with. In addition to this, the dealing of a parent with cancer, or the protagonist with intense anxiety also connects the reader.
pickI loved this book! It was very short and sweet and told a beautiful story. This book presents an interesting point of view, that of a type writer, and a young boy going through hardships, and prompts the reader to think about the different ways we can view the world. The story is a very quick read, and once I started, I could not put it down! PLUS there a little bit of found family within the text if that is your cup of tea.
pickAlso from last w/e on my multiple 📕 swap raid on the way home from 🩰. I want to see the tagged book‘s play these hols but it‘s sold out already! I will try to get to Prima Facie before it sells out. The 🐧 is to add to my collection & the recipe 📖 is for my sista 🦊 & I to test out when I visit her these hols to watch my niece‘s full dress rehearsal for Frozen Disney Junior as because of my rehearsals during term I can‘t get to the show itself.
Drink me in again
with your eyes. Remember how
I taste? I‘ll show you.

pickThis was powerful, sad, and upsetting but I‘m so glad I read it. Hearing Eve Ensler‘s perspectives on the world, war, and the environment while she shares her backstory and cancer journey makes for a memoir unlike any I‘ve read. I was angry at times at the sheer horror that is the world but then was also lifted up by the ways we show up for each other. This is pretty short but still manages to pack a punch. I enjoyed on #audio, read by the author.
