what a great book,an absolute joy to read . Iv already decided to gift this book to my elderly neighbours this Christmas, & why isn‘t Susan Fletcher more well known ? , It‘s bonkers shes a fabulous writer & il be seeking out the rest of her books. This is a far superior read to Richard Osmans Thursday murder club which was ok but nowhere near as good as this.mollie & I finished the book whilst visiting Bath last weekend ,where we met the author

Amherst: A Novel | William Nicholson

Another morning coffee.Overall the tagged book was a good read but I did find Alice rather immature.
It‘s a dual timeline story. It‘s 1881 & the love affair between Austin Dickinson & Mabel Todd is explored. Move to 2013 & Alice Dickinson(no relation)is researching their story to write a script.Her quest takes her to Amherst where she finds”love,”secrets, & betrayal in the lovers story & her own.Emily D hovers ghost like on the sidelines.A so-so.

Cupcake12 A pretty view 🥰 9mo
Suet624 I always know it‘s your post when I see all these colors in the photo. So gorgeous. Is that Shelburne museum mug from Mass or in VT? 9mo

Really liked this. There was something in the writing that reminded me of Fresh Water for Flowers.
Would definitely recommend ❤️

Lovely literary mystery with just the right amount of cozy. A touch too long in my opinion but the writing was great.

peanutnine I can't help but feel a bit hopeful like Garth that maybe Fred will get the estate he was expecting and actually have the skills now to run it properly... Maybe. Seems too good to be true almost 2y

Belle, the Last Mule at Gee's Bend: A Civil Rights Story | Bettye Stroud, Calvin Alexander Ramsey
post image

Belle, the Last Mule at Gee‘s bend is a heartwarming HF by C.A. Ramsey and B. Stroud, illustrated by J. Holyfield. In this story, a boy learns that an ordinary looking mule is quite special. This mule, Belle, had a role in this small town‘s fight for equal rights and was even part of Dr. King‘s funeral procession. I recommend this book as one piece of an AS about author Bettye Stroud.

nquintus The resource linked above is a basic breakdown of how to roll out an AS unit in an elementary classroom. This AS would give students plenty of opportunities to connect prior knowledge and personal experience to these stories, in addition to doing related vocabulary, writing, art, and history-related activities. These would meet ESOL strategy 2: promote cooperation and UDL #8.3: foster collaboration and community. 5y
DrSpalding This is a new book for me! Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres. Great idea to perform an author study if this author has numerous books. Sounds like a good one to integrate into the social studies curriculum. 5y
