Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War | Nathaniel Philbrick

1. My elder kiddo is coming home from college for the first time since we dropped them off in August! I'm SO excited! (And we're getting COVID boosters tomorrow, cooking a low-key dinner Thursday, then Christmas decorations on Friday.)
2. The tagged really influenced how I see Thanksgiving and the way that history shifts into legend, particularly as it serves the interests of the dominant culture. (Sorry... buzz kill.)

TheSpineView Thanks for playing! Happy Thanksgiving!❤️🦃 12mo

The_Penniless_Author Your body must handle the COVID vaccine better than mine. If I got my booster tomorrow I wouldn't be fit to eat Thanksgiving dinner for another week or two. It absolutely levels me every time! 12mo

ImperfectCJ @The_Penniless_Author In the past, I've been out for almost precisely 24 hours afterward, but my spouse usually feels fine after, so hopefully if I pre-make our pies and plan on Wednesday, between the four of us, we can get dinner set up for Thursday. Last year we got the booster on Tuesday and were good to go by Thursday, so we're definitely pushing it a little. If we were hosting guests, I'd have planned the booster for a different day. 12mo

Too long to read aloud to a class in my setting, but I could see students who like narrative nonfiction enjoying this. The word count is high enough that it could be reformatted as a short chapter book. The illustrations are beautiful. This is actually a good example of a picture book for older students, which is ironic because people push older students away from picture books.

Really good true story and great illustrations by the author. Would be good to read each Thanksgiving.

My daughter, Jordy, also a library worker, but for SL City, gave me this and I will read it soon. 😄

#MountTBRchallenge Numbers 37 and 38. Mayflower was number 37 and here is the link to my gr review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3281137348

This copy of Faith and Practice is from 1972. I enjoyed reading it. And this was Number 38.

It isn‘t the tagged book (which is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read), but it came in today‘s mail and I have 5 hot minutes to myself to read it. Laundry and dishwasher both spinning for the umpteenth time today, both kids playing outside with a neighbor kid in lovely 56 degree weather.

1. Pilgrims, right?
2. Accompanying my children to Junior Scientist Day at my spouse's workplace. I suspect it was primarily an excuse for the grown-up scientists to play, which helped make it super awesome!
3. Leftovers and an early bedtime.
4. Nine living, two deceased.
5. On it!
