Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

Recommended reading this Memorial Day.

Each chapter in this impressive, informative read follows a female scientist influenced by Marie Curie while also sharing her astounding story. Marie's love of science still influences young scientists today, and her dedication to learning is infectious.

This book is well written and the perfect mix of science and personal reflections.

2) A Time for Defiance - too much military/fighting WWII & rather pathetic sister left behind in England. Probably others but this was a recent DNF

In this brief autobiography, Jane shares captivating stories about her experiences working with the chimpanzees, her educational journey, her marriages, and the birth of her son, Hugo.

“We must tell stories.”

Good read in the "Who Was" series for kids 9-11 who enjoy books like "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory." Dahl had an adventurous life, made a comment or 2 he rightfully had to apologize for, and lost family members to illness/accidents. This is explained in kid-friendly ways, but too complicated for kids under 9. 4.5 stars. #kidlit #roalddahl

We finished Night today at work.Planning to have the students watch the movie The Book Thief to wind down to our spring break, which begins on Friday. Witness is a perfect complement to Night.
