Book scavenger hunt- baked treat #hauntedshelf @PuddleJumper #flerken
pickThis book talks about America‘s low income & poverty housing in Milwaukee, WI. Desmond did such a thorough research, he moved into these housing areas to get to know both the tenants and landlords called ethnology (new vocabulary for me.) He shares stories of the people who have been or continue to get evicted from their homes; the how and the why and also the side of the landlords. It‘s really sad all around and reminds me how fortunate I am.
pickThe cover is gorgeous, the story okay, her description of Milwaukee wonderful! Go Brewers and cheese curds, lol.
Following our end-of-summer pool party, most of my book club migrated over to a “Boozy Book Fair” at a local cider company. I bought a new book AND got ever-so-slightly tipsy…at the same time!
I‘ve long seen memes about such events for the adults who desperately miss the Scholastic book fairs of our youth. Turns out, some memes are really just good ideas.
Next I need that meme of Muppet Pride & Prejudice with Adam Driver to become reality….
pickSuch a real, honest story of an immigrant queer experience. What it is to be other and displaced from family. I liked that the ending was happy, but not as expected
