My underrated/under appreciated pick for the #AugustBookChallenge is this YA novel. It's a tough read, and I don't know if it's a great book, but it's an excellent, powerful look at the white nationalist movement and how they prey on poor white kids who feel they have no other options. It's sadly still relevant - and good reading for today's current climate. Stick with it - it's flawed but important. (I promise to post some lighter books soon! 😂)
pick#augustbookchallenge #booksandstationary At Christmas, a coworker sent each of us a lovely note using these notecards. When I saw them, I felt I needed some too, a cool throwback to the card catalogs I grew up with. 😋. P.S. I have to say it is getting hysterical around our house with me picking up 📚 or what have you, then stalking a cat (Jack this time) to find out who is sleeping and then trying to prop the things around them. 😂😂😂😸
I love this Jane Austen writing paper but the dip pen? It is one of those things that is definitely more charming in theory (I tried). #augustofpages #booksandstationery #augustbookchallenge #FolioSociety
"Give me a girl at an impressionable age and she is mine for life."
I immediately thought of this book when asked to select one representing #innocence for the #augustbookchallenge. Jean Brodie mentors a select set of six girls from pre-adolescence through their teenage years. Over the years, their once emphatic dedication to Jean Brodie shifts and they start developing their own thoughts.
I love this book! Sparks is such an amazing writer.
#Day22 #AugustBookChallenge #innocence The All-of-a-Kind Family books are the epitome of innocence. I adored these books as a child & carted them home often from the library. I shared a love of books & libraries w/ Ella, Henny, Sarah, Charlotte & Gertie but little else as they were from the early 1900s, Jewish & from the Lower East Side of Manhattan & I found them fascinating. Reading them now, I'm transported back to my childhood library days❤️📚
When I think of #innocence, it's hard not to flash to #bookishbirthday Ray Bradbury, whose work is infused with an American optimism and innocence (in both children and adults) that flourished in the post-war era: a belief that anything was possible. And Something Wicked is that balance between innocence and darkness, and the time when that all shifts under your feet. These are some of the finest stories of the 20th century. #AugustBookChallenge
I think I need more of a musical background to really get this book. I tried, though! Photo is of my husband's Grandpa, musician. #augustphotochallenge #augustbookchallenge #bookplusmusic #augustofpages #booksandmusic
