Finally back to my #BookshelfTour with shelf 15/21

My favorite here is Shel Silverstein! I absolutely loved his poems growing up 🥰

Nute Oh, so happy to see you doing this again. Beautiful! 2y
marleed Oh I have a Shel Silverstein stack, as well. I also keep my cd of Dr Hooks greatest hits on the stack, as well, since Shel penned the lyrics of so many of their songs! 2y
Alfoster That‘s great! Brings me back to elementary school when my elder daughter won a poetry reciting contest with one of his! (Spaghetti)??? 2y
vivastory I wouldn't be on Litsy if it wasn't for Shel Silverstein. A childhood favorite that nurtured my love for reading. 2y

Born a Crime | Trevor Noah

I can be a little disconnected from current popular media, so I read this having no idea who Trevor Noah is to Hollywood, comedy or the acting stage. What a power! If there were more of his variety of life truth, poignant snark and raw honesty, I would engage with pop culture more.
There was no putting this book down.

Read this for #bookclub. Everyone else is reading the complete edition, but naturally, I have to stay loyal to my #ya passion (plus my library had this copy). Very eye opening. Very universal. Wouldn‘t call it triumphant or uplifting, but it‘s slightly hopeful and certainly illuminating. Noah wants us to understand the heart of racism. He‘s entertaining and engaging along the way. #trevornoah #autobiography #apartheid

A perfect way to end 2019. Powered through this book w/ many emotions - laughter, anger, tears - as we learn about South Africa through the life of #TrevorNoah. I MUST read for sure. 😭 #apartheid #UnconditionalLove #BornACrime

This is just an incredibly small portion of my personal library that I still need to read 😬 I love books and I love buying them...oops! I am slowly getting through the list...with studying, my personal reading has slowed down 😞 Also, please excuse my terrible crocheting!

JohannaRose I soo wish I had a little library! I‘m slowly acquiring books as I go lol it‘s a process! I wish they weren‘t so expensive! And your crocheting is beautiful! 😊 5y
MirandaLeighBee @JohannaRose thank you :) I wish I could say this was all I had to read...but that‘s not the case...I have a lot lol 5y
MirandaLeighBee @JohannaRose also, one of my fave things to do is browse the book section at thrift stores...it‘s where I get a lot of my books actually 5y
JohannaRose @MirandaLeighBee Oh that‘s such a good idea! Thank you! 😃 5y

When I first read this section, I was cracking up at 4 AM, and thankful that my roommates are notoriously heavy sleepers. I'd love to read the whole book over again.

Waiting rooms aren't so bad when you have an interesting way to pass the time.
