“When captain Lewis called out the names of those brave heroes, my name was not included. That‘s when it first became clear that my return home would not be celebrated as everyone else‘s.”

This book could be used in a classroom to help tell a little know story, I think it would be an excellent addition to a lesson done to help highlight an amazing man who gets little credit. This book will probably tie in really well to Black History Month.
pickThis book tells the little known story of an enslaved man on the Lewis and Clark expedition. Illustrations in this book were really really good and the story itself was very impactful. Overall, I rather enjoy this book.
💙 I read every day, but the page count varies widely depending on the book, my mood, and my schedule.
💙 Empress of the East (tagged). I was so looking forward to an interesting history, but the author was far too biased.
💙 The Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin
Thanks for the tag @Deblovestoread
so-soI was disappointed by this. The history is interesting enough, but there was clear Western bias on the author's part that I just couldn't get past.
pickMedieval imposture? Arnault Du Tihl learned and remembered every aspect of the missing Martin Guerre and lived as him for 3 yrs, having two children with his wife before he found himself accused of imposture. Then he almost won his case. Fun stuff - a 1980 history book that‘s still quite fascinating, and short. (3.5 hrs on audio, and free on audible)
I can‘t believe we‘re so close to Halloween and the end of #scarathlon 🎃 I always wish this month could last forever. I was out at a Halloween party last night and today I‘m feeling a bit delicate and doing my masters reading with a scented candle, a horror movie in the background, and all my cleaning done, which is pretty idyllic #scarathlon #skeletoncrew
I have q a lot of reviews to catch up on so I‘ll be posting a lot in the next few hours!
so-soA read for grad school that tbh I wouldn‘t have read otherwise - Jacobean tragedy is much more me than comedies - but at least it‘s some scarathlon points eh?

Spent the afternoon at the State Library at their World of the Book exhibition (they‘re not Muriel Spark fans, obviously😆) and thought the servants of the #CatsofLitsy would appreciate this. At some point in the last 400 odd years, a cat has walked through some ink and then walked across this page 🐾😹
