YA novel that I swore for the first part I was rereading. Maybe 🤷🏼‍♀️…definitely a predictable story.

A fast-paced twisty thriller. These may not be literary works of art, but I appreciate the distraction offered. A lot to be said for that.

Would have been a three star, but due to the possibility of plagiarism of Cassie Phillips’s poem.

While it’s no literary masterpiece, it IS a fast-paced read and was able to distract me from, well…[waves hand at world around us].
I recommend if you need a brief getaway. 😉

A classic that I missed in my youth… It’s good, though parts of it were tedious.

I felt like this book had so much potential but then up and jumped to the end. …like where’d the middle go?

It’s an oft banned book…for all the reasons.

While just a ⭐️ ⭐️ (or 1.5 really), it was good to get back to my sociology roots.

Some great quotes and truths here.

I thought there were some great points but/and seemed to have some rose-colored glasses. Maybe just my own anxiety? I wish there was more info from other countries. Still, yes, kids need more play!

⭐️ ⭐️ despite the fast-pacing, I had difficulty sticking with the book initially and then some predictable twists left me wanting a bit more from this YA thriller.

I think this boy cat is finally better. The difference a type of food can make. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Now hoping to wean him off anxiety med. 😬

Book 8 of 2025 📚

I enjoyed this novel that chronicles the lives of several characters across decades. Much of it takes place in Missouri. It was nice to know the places mentioned. 🙃

Had a chance to attend a session of Bev John’s at a recent conference and I loved the session and her.

She is one of the editors of a new book called, “Restorative Practices in Education Through the Arts.” It looks amazing! 🤩
