Paired with this text, I would have students create protest posters about a cause they care about, inspired by Answers in the Pages. It connects to the book‘s themes of advocacy and censorship, and gives them a chance to express their voices creatively. They‘ll choose an issue, design a poster with a clear message, and explain how it ties back to the story. ---I found a cute example of this assignment, pictured above---
pickLevithan‘s Answers in the Pages explores censorship, identity, and courage through three connected stories. When a book is challenged at school, a community is forced to confront what stories “deserve“ to be told. Thoughtful and timely, this novel celebrates the power of books to spark change. A must-read for young readers navigating their place in the world—and for the adults who support them.
I am in Rifthold (QoS) and LA/New York (funny thing happened on the way to the future). #whereareyoumonday
so-soA cool concept that left me wanting more out of the narrative at the end. I suppose the best explanation, without giving too much away, is that it devolves into more typical YA tropes. It could have been so much more. Silvera and I share an understanding of death… it‘s his “living” definition that left me unsatisfied.
Juxtapositions like these are one of the reasons I‘m so enjoying reading LMM‘s journals alongside a re-read of her books!

I was really excited about re-reading Emily of New Moon by listening to this audiobook narrated by Megan Follows. Until I saw it‘s abridged. 😭 Maybe I‘ll read it in print and then go back afterwards to listen and see what they cut out. #LMMReread #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead
pickI always have something in my ears when I go to sleep, & while I've read the HP series multiple times, I've never listened to them. I'm slowly making my way through Jim Dale's narration, sometimes no more than 15 minutes a night before I drop off to sleep. This is one of my favorite series, so all books are 5 ⭐ for me.
pickI keep forgetting to post here so now I‘m working on getting caught back up.
This was just as good as every other time I‘ve read it.
pickI finally finished reading this one last night!! SOOOO much better than the first book. I was excited, I was intrigued, I didn't expect myself to like it as much as I have. The first book in the series had me a little concerned about how much I'd be able to get into the series as a whole, but finishing book 2 has me already running to start book 3! I need to see what's next for Feyre, because that ending was a whirlwind.
#LittensLoveSJM #TOG Ch.31-33: we are reminded that Nehemiah‘s people are still at war, some still rebelling against Adarlan‘s forces. Is that where the king is? Enforcing his rule? I was a bit surprised that Pelor helped Celaena in the poison challenge - he‘s mostly kept to himself up to now. But it‘s good to have allies. Even if they may have to face each other at the end.
