Educator, puzzler, reader
I finished this one finally. It had a slow start and I wanted more details and info re the characters but once I got to the letters it picked up and I ended up enjoying the book overall. Historical Maryland if you're interested. #booksky
My partner works part time for a small time book publisher (literally just a retired English professor) and I try to read some of the books. The next one on the list "The Latern" by Kathleen Pedersen. #booksky

"...government, frightened & determined to control everything, had become almost irrational. For no reason, there was a sudden clampdown on universities; & when students protested they were treated like political agitators & sent into the army." -Russka by Edward Rutherfurd, Russia 1905 💙📚 #booksky

Russka by Edward Ruthorford. Love this passage re: Peter the Great seeing an astrolab for the 1st time. No one knew how to use it, Peter finds someone who does, he struggles & "...[h]e makes mistakes, but won't give up." That's the growth mindset I need my students to have in math class! #booksky
