The Windup Girl | Paolo Bacigalupi

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.

A Wish in the Dark | Christina Soontornvat

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.

A 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.

Thai version of Les Miserables. Had no idea this was a children‘s book but nonetheless really good.

Every now and then a new author arrives to completely entertain me. Sara Ochs is that voice and THE RESORT is that absolutely irresistible read.
