Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing: A Play | Tomson Highway

I got an amazing deal on ground pork this morning, so I went to the library to borrow my favourite cookbook and ended up grabbing a couple short story collections off their feature display plus a play by Tomson Highway. #MFMarch

The Poet X | Elizabeth Acevedo

pick

Acevedo‘s win came two years after the medal‘s own review into its historical lack of racial diversity, concluded that the UK‘s overwhelmingly white librarian workforce, who nominate books for the medal, were mostly unaware of titles by writers of colour.

Have you read this one?

Orbital | Samantha Harvey

I loved Orbital. A very poetic thoughtful read…I wasn‘t sure how any book could beat James for the Booker, but now I understand.
Loved Clear also.. another beautifully written thoughtful book.
Every year I read a classic…a chunkster…this year it‘s Middlemarch! This is my second attempt and I‘m determined to finish it..
Happy reading everyone

JamieArc I started Middlemarch a year or two ago when a group was reading it here on Litsy. I only made it a third of the way so finishing it is one of my goals too. 1mo

CarolynM My husband is reading and enjoying Middlemarch at the moment. He said he‘s thinking of it as a series of books, rather than one book, so he can take a break when he reaches the end of each of its parts. 1mo

Freespirit Hi @JamieArc I will let you know how it goes! I‘m sure it will be well worth reading 😊 1mo

Freespirit What a great idea Carolyn! I wish my hubby read novels more. I often read him snippets of books I read. He reads articles and some non fiction. I think I have convinced him to read Orbital😊 @CarolynM 1mo

Hot Dog: (Winner of the 2023 Caldecott Medal) | Doug Salati

Since this book was about a dog, trying to find his calm, I would use this book to help with my student social emotional development as a whole class lesson.
