pickI really enjoyed this anthology: even though stories were written by different authors and characters varied characters felt fleshed out.
Stories were about bravery, about persons who are making their voices heard. They were uplifting to read.
These stories were interesting and worth reading.

pickPerfect for MS students seeking more fantasy. Main plot centers around Ella, the 1st conjurer to attend the Arcanum Training Institute, and her struggles to be accepted in the Marveller world. At times I tired of the whole outsider angle, but as a 50ish woman, I‘m not the target audience. Good lessons on friendship and loyalty. Loved that the villain was female, and a cunning one at that.
✅ First book for #SnowedIn2024

#Weeklyforecast
Have not started any book in row 1.
On p.33 of Book & Dagger, have not started the other 2.
Read 2 stories in Take the Mic, on p. 162 of Band of Sisters, read 2 more poems in A Cartography of Peace,
listening to ch13/60 in Don‘t Forget to write. Listening to Christmas music instead of my audiobook!
So, not sure how this week will pan out-work, life, busy. Hopefully I will get to my buddy reads.#sundaybuddyread #kareninaWinter
so-soI love the overall theme of this YA anthology - that resistance is an everyday act and sometimes just surviving is resistance. And some of the stories were excellent (“As You Were” by Bethany C. Morrow and “Ruth” by Laura Silverman), but the short pieces didn‘t work in the audio format. And while the description mentioned #DisabledAndCute, the disability rep in here basically amounted to a mention of that hashtag in a poem, which was disappointing
“I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach…”
How Do I Love Thee? is a warm, beautiful book that helps kids see how love can be all around them. It‘s great for bedtime or for any time you want to feel close to someone special.
