Today I finished the last read-aloud session of the academic year with the tagged book. I volunteered to bring my school's book bin back to the main office next week and to pick up and return as many as three other bins from other schools. I'm in good shape, but lugging this bin a city block to my car left me a sweaty mess with an ache in my back, so I ordered a heavy duty wagon to help with the other bins. Volunteering can get expensive!

Got further in this than I have in awhile, but I still cannot engage with trad pub single POV. I'll keep testing it periodically! Sorry, perfectly nice book!

I‘m always interested in learning more about women who haven‘t gotten as much attention in the history books. One of The Six was Sally Ride and one was Judy Resnik, but the others are lesser known (at least to me). Astronauts are so interesting to me, but I have no desire to leave Earth! It was somewhat melancholy reading this after reading Challenger.

Yesterday my youngest participated in the school district‘s social studies & science fair. As soon as she saw the brochure she said she wanted to do it (so huge for a kid with lots of anxiety). She said she wanted to do her presentation on Mae Jemison. She‘s worked hard for the last few weeks. She was interviewed by teachers & high school students. One of the teachers thanked her for highlighting such an important person in history. When asked why

ncsufoxes she chose this person she said, “she‘s my idol, I want to be an engineer & astronaut just like her.” She was the only 3rd grader from her school to participate too. 2mo

Looking for chapter book recommendations for an almost 10 year old girl. I want to continue to find more chapter books for my daughter with strong female characters. In this pre-handmaiden era I want her to continue to read more about strong girls/women, even better if by women. We have Enola Holmes, just finished Wild Robot series. She‘s a more advanced reader than her brothers were & loves reading. Pic of books for Easter -our bunny brings books

This book was so cute! I love the way the characters met, their plan to fake date and the intricacies of their respective families.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Take my opinion with a grain of salt: Romance is not a genre I read very often. For whatever reason, I get mad at the characters and start yelling (sometimes aloud) at them. I don't know why I can suspend my disbelief in any other genre but this one.

ChaoticMissAdventures LoL I think they are so often completely over the top and also for a genre where it is all about love characters can be so mean to each other. I see many people reading this one and now I am interested 3mo
lil1inblue @ChaoticMissAdventures My most frequent yell is "For pete's sake, just talk to each other." ? 3mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @lil1inblue ohhh yeah!! It is so frustrating that the writers of these books rely so so much on miscommunication. 3mo
Catsandbooks Thanks for reading! 💕 3mo

Strong black woman stereotype

Soft black girl

There's strength in being vulnerable, in taking care of yourself
