bailedI love Joel Christian Gill's work, but this just didn't do it for me. It felt like an adaptation from someone way too familiar with the source material; there wasn't a good flow, and it felt like things were glossed over. I would be interested in reading the original text, but I had a hard time with this version.
pickMy goodness, what a powerful story. This coming of age story in verse explores themes of racism, discrimination, police brutality, and inequality. It packs a punch with poignant prose and an unblinking reality. Zoboi has collaborated with Yusef Salaam, one of the exonerated NY five, and it is a timely and important read. Good on #audio #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
pickI didn't read this word for word #outloud to my students. I just don't have time for all the words 😢 but they got a kick out of this page. Our 3rd graders just performed this song dor the MLKjr concert.
pickI had seen the movie and was a little familiar with the authors story. It was good to read this and get more of the story and more details. The Equal Justice Initiative does amazing and much needed work. Thankful for the work they are doing.
#hyggehour is on the late side tonight cause I spent most of the 8 o‘clock hour soaking in a hot bath. I do feel much more relaxed now, and kitty and I are finally settling down with a cup of tea and this incredible book that I started this morning. #litsolace
pickThis book came into my possession a few months (love LFLs!) ago and I‘m honored to prioritize it during Black History month. It is a moving novel in verse made even more powerful with inspiration from Yusef Saleem (of the Exonerated Five) to help create this masterpiece.
February #DoubleSpin Category: Paperback Shelves @TheAromaofBooks
The tagged book is one of my #bookspin drawings, but our statewide interlibrary loan system blocks new books from circulation. It will have been out a year in May, so fingers crossed I'll see it at some point.

Things are pretty good for my daughter in our very blue area, but I'm terrified about what the future might hold. (edited) 1mo
