Here are my corresponding books for the numbers drawn for October. Two of the numbers are the same as September, so I get another crack at the ones I didn‘t read last month! #ReadYourEbooks

I loved this one so much! Just as much as Pet. This one is much more intense than Pet, because the Lucille in this novel could easily be the world we live in right now. It‘s dangerous. There is a rich, greedy, man corrupting the whole town, especially its government and the police, named Dian Theron. Police are killing civilians left and right.

My list for October #ReadYourEbooks is the same as the one I never posted for September because, yup, I didn‘t read any from the list! I‘m ok with that. We‘ll see how I do this month!

I can definitely see this book being used in my classroom. It is a great way to introduce other cultures and traditions, as well as understand more about people can overcome hardships and how to turn the hardship situation around into doing good for the world.

“No matter how they hurt her, she stayed as strong as the mountain and did not give up“

Jovita Wore Pants by Aida Salazar was published in 2023 and won the Caldecott Medal in 2024. The illustrations are breathtaking throughout the book. The vivid bright colors of Jovita as she is young and having fun versus the dark, sad tones of a page where her father died helps to evoke strong emotions and make the readers feel as if they are there. I also love that this book is a true story!

September was a slooooooow reading month for me…hoping my October #bookspin helps me get back in the swing.
