May #bookspin

Finally! I completed a bookspin, my second for the year. This YA novel is a fast paced retelling of Poe‘s The Cask of Amontillado. I didn‘t realize it was part of a duology so I‘ll have to read the second book to get all the answers to this revenge story between two former best friends. Although I enjoyed it the overall plot was a bit over the top and unbelievable but it was entertaining enough.

"Good fences make good neighbors."

Teachers can use se this collection to introduce children to nature-themed poetry. Students can read and analyze the simple yet profound themes in Frost's work, discussing topics like solitude, choice, and change.

This collection brings the timeless poetry of Robert Frost to young readers with accessible language and beautiful illustrations. The selected poems offer a thoughtful exploration of nature, rural life, and human emotion.

Very insightful book about the death and life of Edgar Allan Poe. Draws on a lot of previous biographies and speculations. I didn‘t like that the book jumped around chronologically. Edgar Allan Poe didn‘t really intend on being known for horror, but poetry.
They suspected he had very low tolerance for alcohol and was perhaps allergic to it. Had a beloved cat called Catterina. Compelling arguments for latent tuberculosis causing his death.

🤨 Nobody reads Longfellow? Lies. I read Longfellow. And I read Poe.
