pickFreida does it again! Her twists and story telling is amazing. My mouth was on the floor and again couldn‘t put it down!
pickA memoir of Conroy's time teaching at a small school on Yamacraw Island in 1969. A desegregation coming-of-age story of sorts for him. It was interesting to see the origins of characters that appeared in his later books.

pickOne of my teacher friends chose this for our IRL Book Club. An easy, quick-clip of a book with a full cast of characters and lots of heart. I don‘t think it‘ll inspire any *revelatory* discussions but I‘m sure my group will have plenty to say.

I fell on our stairs on Friday night, ambulance trip etc. Home now but with a sore head.
