An 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!

shelbsreads In my creative writing class, we did an activity like that. It was really fun and engaging. We all had a lot of fun reading our work to one another, and seeing our personalities and perspectives come out through our work. 7d
jkmac9717 This sounds like such a fun show-and-tell-like activity! You could do a brief exercise with writing from an object‘s POV as a warm-up, or you could do it multiple times to focus on different story elements (tone, word choice, etc.) through a similar lens each time. Alternatively, you could assign one object to the whole class and see where each student‘s own perspectives and ideas come into their writing as they discuss with peers. Very versatile! 7d

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.

Makyah This would be a great book for younger readers because they can go the hardships as well. So feeling seen in the tough seasons that one may go through can act as a reprieve for the reader. This is why I love books they show these kinds of stories to make you feel less alone 🥹 7d

I 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.

natalie_e This sounds like a super sweet book that I'd love reading :) The interesting POV in the story would be good to provide an example or mentor text to students as well! 7d

Also 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.

CarolynM I heard they‘ve extended the run of Spare Room. Sold out already? 1mo
LapReader Oh thanks @CarolynM I hadn‘t heard. Yay! 1mo
Jeg Hope we get the Spare Room here at some point. 4w

This 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.

This book caught my eye at the checkout counter at a bookstore, so I borrowed the audiobook from the library and I don't regret it. I didn't realize the intended audience skewed a bit younger, but it was a wonderful tale with a beautiful voice that touched on a difficult subject in a way that didn't minimize the different forms of heartache that manifest around it.

Its almost funny, me wanting to forget the "everything that happened," when that was exactly where I was still stuck. Maybe the only way to get unstuck was to remember.
