Why Does it Thunder and Lightning? | Chris Arvetis, Carole Palmer

Was able to score 21 of the 38 from a thrift shop while on home visits today. Sadly my childhood faves: rainbow and thunder/lightning aren‘t here and my set was ruined in my parents basement. These copies are in perfect condition, I don‘t think they‘ve ever been read. I can‘t wait to share them with Wes!

The Ice Queen | Alice Hoffman

so-so

I thought about skipping this book club selection because I was pretty indifferent on the last Alice Hoffman book I read, but I love fairy tale retellings. Unfortunately, while the fairy-tale elements kept me going through the story, I didn‘t connect with this book either. The main character really irritated me and I didn‘t understand most of the other characters‘ motivations either. I‘ll complain/CW (personal to me, and spoilery) in a comment.

Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t think I would have read this book had I known it involved a character dying of pancreatic cancer. My father died of pancreatic cancer a couple years ago, and I‘m undergoing cancer treatment now myself. 4mo

The Lightning Dreamer: Cuba's Greatest Abolitionist | Margarita Engle

pick

#BookBinge Day 24: I received a copy of #Lightning Dreamer from the author herself whom we have invited in Singapore for the Asian Festival of Children‘s Content back in 2012, I think. The story speaks of a time when young girls are not only disallowed from having an education, they were also banned from reading books (because men don‘t like ladies who have their own minds).
