Oh my gosh @Hooked_on_books the little Sietje is so cool! You did really get her markings right! I love her. I always love opening your gifts, every book is exciting. The tagged fits perfectly with one of my bookclub topics for 2026- Someone You Admire. 🙂 I can‘t wait to visit old Venice with The Glassmaker. I absolutely love the cover of Playground and Overstory is an all time favorite so I‘m sure this‘ll be great. And you know I love an older⬇️

pick"I sing for those who dare not sing!"
Reading ahead for character trait of the month COURAGE in November. We seem to love Carmen Agra Deedy's books at my school. Also suitable for talking about #resistance and #nokings
pickI am so glad this book landed on my radar. I learned so much. Very emotional read. The amount of determination and courage to research the Home Army women fascinated me. A hero. @OutsmartYourShelf #Research
pickThree separate timelines and narrators, during Hitler's reign in WW2, 1980s East/West Germany, and 2020 racial tensions in America. All plots dealing with the importance of resisting tyranny and the abuse of power. Bray is a master of weaving this kind of narrative and all three stories are inextricably linked by the end of the story.
If I can finish 5 of my current reads, I'll be happy. #TurnthePage @Bookwormjillk Thanks for doing this.
pickI'm a little late for the #OhCanada discussion, but I didn't want to miss out on this book. It's hard to review a memoir, especially one with this much trauma, but I think Knott faced her trauma head on and framed her story well. I'm interested to see what her newer book is like.
