I studied ASL and Deaf culture for 2 semesters in college when I had a brief interest in becoming a speech pathologist. I also spent a month at Gallaudet in DC.

I loved this excellent #OwnVoices novel that does not shy away from the controversy around CI, and the role (or withholding) of ASL in Deaf education and language acquisition. Also briefly explores BASL and racism within the Deaf community, something I definitely want to learn more about.

LibrarianRyan Vey cool 2y

The It Girl | Ruth Ware

Not my favorite Ware novel although the ending is good. Hannah meets Alice, at Oxford & they become best friends. Alice is rich, confident, beautiful, & somewhat of a narcissistic sociopath. I don't get the attraction of "the it girl." Then Alice gets killed & years later Hannah is still trying to piece together what happened.
