The Day the World Stops Shopping: How Ending Consumerism Saves the Environment and Ourselves
This is the list every year that really excites me—the nonfiction NBA longlist! As usual, this year‘s list is super topical and I‘m delighted to see it‘s very feminist as well. Again, I‘ve read 2, the El Akkad and the Li, both terrific. Run the Song seems the odd one out for me and I‘m most curious about Motherland, which isn‘t out yet.

Someone learned a new science word & is flashing it around like he knows what it is. You can‘t see mitochondrial disorders. I don‘t know what he‘s trying to imply.

This chapter helped me think more about what it looks like to support a whole class of readers. I like how Kittle balances structure and trust. She's paying attention without turning reading into a chore. Tracking page numbers just to check in, not to grade, really stood out. The part about helping students set personal goals also made sense. It's like a way to help them take ownership without making it all about points.
I worry about my ability to meet students where they are while also pushing them. It seems contradictory, but necessary. I also think it is important to keep in mind that if I know that a student doesn't like reading that they might not want to be aware of the fact that I'm challenging them but when they realize over time how theire reading habits have changed it will make them feel good.
