throwBOOKthursday

Tessering with Meg Murry, Mrs. Who, Mrs. Which & Mrs. Whatsit was my first taste of science fiction. And while Meg didn‘t necessarily look like me, I found a lot of similarities - the love of math and science and definitely the self-consciousness. I gave this a reread about a year or so ago, but I‘ve never actually read the others in the series so I‘ll have to get on that soon.

DrexEdit Same! 🙋‍♀️ Madeline L‘Engle also published some journals or autobiographies which I just found out recently. Looking forward to reading those too! 5y

Addy's Story Collection | Connie Rose Porter

This was probably the first series of books outside of maybe Goosebumps or Babysitters Club that I repeatedly checked out from the library and reread multiple times when I was younger. Much like Cassie Logan from the Logan series (that I have to find and finish reading immediately!), Addy Walker was one of the few characters I saw myself in on library shelves and I loved spending time with her and her family.

Born a Crime | Trevor Noah

Today‘s #throwbookthursday goes to Born a Crime

I don‘t remember exactly when or how I stumbled upon Trevor Noah, but I loved how he told stories. This gave me such insight into his life and I could hear his voice in every page I read.

The Color Purple | Alice Walker

Celie‘s story has stuck with me far beyond my first read and many viewings of the movie. I loved following a character find pieces of herself throughout life and grow stronger as an individual.

I can‘t believe it‘s taken me so long to add it to my personal library. But with such a beautiful cover, I couldn‘t pass up the opportunity for a spur of the moment buy ... even if I‘m trying to cut down 🙈

Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry (Bound for Schools & Libraries) | Mildred D Taylor

This is one of the first books I remember having an immediate connection to the main character and being completely drawn into the story, making it one of my favorite reads when I was younger despite the tougher topics.

It‘s been a while since I‘ve read it, but I‘ve never really forgotten about Cassie Logan and her family. I will definitely be giving this a much needed reread before I jump into the others.
