My daughter and I have started a buddy read of Wiesel‘s Night trilogy. It‘s been awhile since I‘ve read them, and she‘s only read Night.
pickGreat book about a bad subject of which I condemn as horrible! I like to read a lot, so again I condemn the practice of burning books!
Big snow storm this weekend. I'll be cuddled up with this book which I wanted to read after loving The Rose Code and finding out it is based on real people.
pickMy friend was once the epidemiologist for my state & had no idea this book had been written. As she is a hero in my mind for the public health work she continues to do, I purchased the book for her. She‘ll love reading about these heroes. Their brilliance, quiet struggles & courage, their humble pursuit to protect us all, moved me deeply. I know personally the insidious nature of government bureaucracy and bosses who hide. It‘s all here to see.
Thank you Christine for one of the coolest postcards I've ever received! I adore it! How did you know it's my favorite book and movie of my whole childhood? I fell in love with the book before the movie came out

Why would you ban a graphic novel about the holocaust redone as mice & cats. How much more sanitized could they make that story? It‘s history, and MANY children lived through it firsthand, if they can survive it, I‘m sure our children can survive reading a graphic novel with mice about it. 🙄
Welcome to the Banned Book Club Maus! May the publicity of this stupidity cause your book to be bought & read in record numbers.

pickThanks to @Amiable for another book I wouldn‘t have chosen, but was fascinating: one about the Challenger disaster that took place when I was in grade 11. The specific focus was on the dedicated woman teacher who was the “passenger,” (although she got trained.) He does a great job of sharing her background and entry into the program, how the actual crisis unfolded, and the aftermath, both personal and political.

Hmmm…”drain the swamp?” And how well did that turn out?
This chapter is about Mussolini, but, published in 2020, I think there are some passages that prompt more modern comparisons.
so-soMarian Anderson was a fascinating woman and I deeply admire her grace, courage, and talent. Didn‘t love the book too much though. Just over half the book was about Anderson. The epilogue was mostly about politics, culture, and the DAR. A large chunk was the bibliography of source material. King was similar in that I liked the documentary more than the book. Didn‘t get a lot extra out of reading them. Interesting, but both felt dry and academic.
