Her first call to her father after she was shot and the doctor told her not to cry. After she woke up she was constantly worrying about her father and how her family would pay for her medical care. I‘m reading this on my lunch break right now and that is the ONLY reason I‘m not bawling my eyes out!

Educated: A Memoir | Tara Westover
post image
Pickpick

In Tara Westover‘s memoir she reveals what it was like to grow up in a Morman-survivalist family in rural Idaho. Isolated from outsiders, Tara first stepped into the classroom at age 17. Beautiful & tragic, raw & powerful- speaks to the incredible importance of education & social life experiences. I was amazed at the author‘s ability to teach herself so many subjects on her own. I‘m not sure I‘d be able to do that. 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘m enjoying this Charlotte Mason technique on homeschooling. I‘m always interested and intrigued by different approaches to homeschooling, and I love how she incorporates nature and literature together to teach and inspire. I‘m always interested in homeschooling books, so if you have a good one, drop a comment below! 🥰

TheQuietQuill Going to look into this one, thank you! 😊 @idealityandme 3w

monalyisha Not putting Mary Roach on my list hurt my heart a little. Glad (and not at all surprised) to see that she‘s being represented without me! 3w

You know when you're sick and nothing feels like a good read. I have started and stopped 3 books the last few days. 13 books loaded on my Litsy right now. I wanted a cozy read but now I'm not sure.

Suet624 I‘m sorry. It‘s tough when that happens. 1mo

AnnCrystal 💕Rest. May you feel better soon 🙏. Do you have any graphic novels? When I'm under the weather, they're really the only type of story I can focus on. Not sure if it will work for you, just wanted to share. 1mo

This book was as depressing as it was interesting. Notably it was written before the pandemic so today‘s reader is left feeling like there‘s a lot missing from the discussion. However the points made still feel spot on as someone who works for a firm where thought leadership used to be a big part of our business.

I‘ve been doing pretty good resisting the temptation of the free book table at work, but today I succumbed 😆 #BookHaul
