Chocolate War | Robert Cormier

Happy National Chocolate Day!

To play, tag a book with a chocolate theme or the word “chocolate“ in the title, answer the questions, and then tag and share!
I'll go first:
Favorite chocolate: Cadbury Dairy Milk Fruit & Nut
Favorite Halloween chocolate: Reese's peanut butter cups/pumpkins

#NationalChocolateDay
Wanna play, @tiedyedude?!

Killing Mr. Griffin | Lois Duncan

so-so

Mr. Griffin is a strict English teacher at Del Norte high school who often humiliates his students when their work is not up to his expectations. When a group of students set out to teach their malicious teacher a lesson, things go terribly wrong…

ravenlee I loved this book as a younger reader, but I tried to reread it a few years ago and really couldn‘t get into it. I‘ve been thinking about unshelving it but just can‘t decide. 9mo

Eggs @DieAReader 🤗🙌🏻 9mo

Eggs @dabbe Haven‘t heard of that one ☝️ 9mo

Eggs @Andrew65 Thanks 😊 9mo

Eggs @ravenlee There‘s something about it I like; might be that it was a world before texting, social media, and constant internet interference. Might be a good LFL book 9mo

dabbe @Eggs It's the only “horror“ one she wrote after her daughter was murdered. Talk about unfair irony. After that she mostly wrote children's books because she couldn't go to the place anymore. They caught the guy (he admitted to other killings, too) after she died. So sad, but MAN! I loved her books; so did my students. I think I'll have to go back and read them again. #nostalgia 🤗🤗🤗 9mo

Eggs Oh no that‘s horrible! I can‘t imagine 😔😩 @dabbe (edited) 9mo

Book #71
5/5
I love this so much! I don't know how I've managed to make it to this ripe age without ever hearing of this book, but reading it was like uncovering a bit of magic and innocence. Bonus nostalgia points: the audiobook is read by John Ritter.

Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers | Gabor Mate, M.D., Gordon Neufeld

pick

A hard book to review because I see some faults in it (it‘s repetitive & sometimes contradictory) but I admire Gabor Mate and agree with everything he says regarding attachment and parenting. I love that he says ‘don‘t parent from a book - not even this one‘. He argues that we‘ve lost some of our natural instincts and because of this, & the way society is, kids have stronger attachments to their peers rather than adults which causes problems.

I do not like Lord of the Flies. I did like this. 🤔 Im not sure why bc they give me the same vibes. Peer pressure, conformity, under dogs, good people unable/ unwilling to stand up to bullies.

mjtwo This was one of my favourite books as a tween! You have reminded me to read it to my kids. 1y

RebL Back in the day, this one was frequently challenged. What if all the kids decided not to sell chocolates?! 1y
