I am in no way prepared for it to almost be the November #BookSpin draw but here we are. New to the list this month are the tagged and The Prey of Gods. Still slowly working on my backlist as well. I think next year I need to put more audio titles on my list so that I actually get through them in a timely fashion.
This story would be great to use for a class of 4th or 5th graders. The storytelling in the book would be wonderful for those grade levels. This book follows a great journey with many twists and intense scenes that it would keep students interested, while also giving them an inside look on Thai culture.
pickA Wish in the Dark by Chistina Soontornvat was published in 2020. Won Newbery Award, Jane Adams Children‘s book award, and many more. This is a wonderful fantasy book that focuses on the issues of privilege, protest and justice. This book is set in a fantasy land in Thailand, where you are able to explore the Thai culture. It follows a young boy on the run, with a girl determined to find him, how will the story figure itself out.
“Pong had never thought about escaping Namwon before, but now the opportunity lurched up like a mud-skipper and slapped him across the face with its tail. He could get out of Namwon. Not when he was thirteen. Now.”
@BarkingMadRead thank you so much for the wonderful package. I forgot that The Beach was a book! I remember seeing the movie in the theater way back when it came out. Hope to read it soon.
Also thank you to @Avanders and @Chrissyreadit for hosting.

pickThai version of Les Miserables. Had no idea this was a children‘s book but nonetheless really good.
pickEvery now and then a new author arrives to completely entertain me. Sara Ochs is that voice and THE RESORT is that absolutely irresistible read.
