1. Yes. I am the type of person who has a plan A, plan B and plan C. I make lists, maps, schedules, etc.
2. I am currently rereading a book from childhood called Tallahassee Higgins. This book is filled with things not going how Tallahassee planned.

The Age of Miracles | Karen Thompson Walker

Mehso-so

I'm giving this one a so-so rating. The characters are interesting, but I live in the part of the country where this story is set, and some inconsistencies bother me (the assertion that hawks don't live in the suburbs when they so do, the common existence of daily school buses in a place where bus service is rare). Also, I don't really get why plants can't grow because there's not enough light when there are still equal amounts of light and dark.

jen_the_scribe I live in a pretty suburban area and just witnessed a hawk fighting a garden snake right in front of my house a few weeks ago lol 18h
AmyG @jen_the_scribe Isn‘t it wild? When we moved to Colorado I saw a hawk flying with a snake in it‘s beak. 17h
jen_the_scribe @AmyG Yeah it was. We took a video of it lol 17h

Pickpick

This was the #EuropaCollective pick for September, which I've finally read. I ended up liking it, but I can understand why not everyone did. Jessica isn't terribly likeable at the beginning and the plot doesn't seem to go anywhere. But, it started working for me around the time of the house party. Jessica changes and matures. This won't be a favorite, but I enjoyed it. (The book for December has been shipped, so maybe I'll read that one on time!)

The House on Mango Street | Sandra Cisneros
Pickpick

Journeying with Esperanza for the year that we get to be with her and her family on Mango Street, is a balm to witness her own coming to herself as she remembers that as much as she wants to leave and never return to this neighborhood, she will return to help the people she has left behind. “They will not know I have gone away to come back. For the ones I left behind. For the ones who cannot out.” She realizes her responsibility to her community.

kspenmoll We are reading this right now in grade 9 English! 🩷 1w

It looks a bit worn because it has been used a lot in our school - I never did so far, but I definitely will. I really liked this coming off age story and it doesn‘t feel like being old at all. I really like the way of fast-paced writing and enjoyed the somewhat hardened character of Cherry very much. She‘s definitely seen it all. 💪💪💪

Tamra My son really liked reading it and watching the film. I don‘t recall if it was freshman or sophomore year. 1w

Reading The Outsiders for the first time because we have a class set in school. It seems somewhat familiar even thogh I never read or watched it. Reminds me of all those underdog 80ies movies. 😊

TheBookgeekFrau Ohhhh, enjoy!! Such a good book ☺️ 1w
Scochrane26 So good! And it was made into an ‘80s movie 1w
DogMomIrene Highly recommend watching the movie after you‘re done with the book. Both are so good! 1w
MariaW @Scochrane26 @DogMomIrene I will definitely watch the movie next. 😊 1w
