I love when libraries have their little lists on Libby - this little gem is from Queens Public Library‘s Native American Heritage list. I may have downloaded like 10 books. Gonna read them while listening to football games.

Patty's Last Dance | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

Patty Gilbert, a relatively new girl to #SweetValley, loves ballet dancing more than anything. She even ignored Kerry Glenn‘s friendly overtures because Kerry is her only real competition in their advanced class. But when Mme Baril notices something different about Patty, she is scared to go to the doctor & even more scared after her diagnosis that may mean the end of her dancing days! Meanwhile, Jessica schemes to get their class on television!

JenlovesJT47 This is one of the first SVT books I ever bought so this was around the time I started reading them. I learned about scoliosis from this book! 😆 1mo
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 Oh wow!! This one was a re-read for me, but I didn‘t remember much at all about it! I also don‘t remember Patty being in any other books! 1mo
JenlovesJT47 Patty is in SVH and she‘s also on the show. Another one who wasn‘t poorly casted, few and far between though they may be 😆 1mo
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 Ohh, wow— I really forgot her!! Well, I‘ll be looking forward to seeing more of her in the future then!! 1mo

For younger students but books that help with social emotional regulation are always the best.

Jackie Kennedy with Rudolf Nureyev

There are articles today - decades after their deaths that Jackie and Rudolf had an affair. These are just rumors. We know that he did perform at the White House and knew both Jack and Jackie, and kept a long friendship with Jackie for years.

McCanns book does not even hint at an affair, only a passing friendship filled with adoration on both sides.
I personally find the affair hard to believe.

Librariana I find Jackie to be such a fascinating figure, but I must say I'm not at all familiar with Rudolf Nureyev. I had also never heard about their alleged affair! It seems like some people can't wrap their minds around the idea of a man and a woman simply being friends. I guess the media had to make something of it? Scandal selling? 🤷‍♀️ 1mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @Librariana totally, I am so glad McCann didn't hint at it in the book. Rudolf was known as very gay and while he courted a lot of older women he mostly did for their money to keep his lifestyle, mostly as patrons, not actually lovers. I was surprised when I googled them to see the rumors, seems like bad taste and a stretch 1mo
Cuilin Incredible writing. One of my favorites. 1mo
