“These Olive Trees is far more than a picturebook about a refugee experience. It provides a distinct look into the resilience and culture of the Palestinian people.“ See the full review of this picturebook here: https://wowlit.org/on-line-publications/review/xvii-1/8/

I love how the different bracket setups alter some of the outcomes.

1. About 600. I‘ve been going through the ones I‘ve read and offering them to family & friends. The ones not claimed go to LFLs, shelters, etc. #Roll100 ( @PuddleJumper ) & #ReadOrDonate ( @julieclair ) have helped me condense my collection.
2. Tagged.
Thanks for the tag, @TheSpineView 🤓

The community, the family, the stories. I love it all.
“Originally written in Dutch and told through Roya‘s eyes, this award-winning book is funny, sweet and touching. Readers will enjoy the playful moments between Roya, her brothers, and Mishka, particularly as Roya discovers Mishka‘s unique way of expressing deep comfort and security.“ Read more about this USBBY Outstanding International Book here: https://wowlit.org/on-line-publications/review/xvii-2/7/

Little Bee flees violence and murder in Nigeria only to encounter prejudice and indifference in England. She seeks out a British couple and their horrific original chance meeting and its repercussions are revealed.
I appreciated the message in this book, which calls for compassion towards asylum seekers, but I didn‘t get on with the style. It felt too heavy and obvious. Glad to have experienced this author however.
pickI adore Jenny Colgan books. The setting & characters in Mure are just fantastic. Wonderfully written & perfectly imperfect & real.
This was a rolled #Roll100 book for me this month & it‘s also on my #readyourebooks list.
With this completed read I also completed my April #BookSpinBingo board. 🤓

1. Yes. I feel better knowing I have cash for instances where it‘s cash only, the tech is down and other reasons.
2. There‘s a very wealthy character in the tagged book. His wealth affects him in the first two books in ways different than this one. Love affects him more.
