A student of mine was reading this book, completely entranced. We talked about it and she was so full of enthusiasm that I wanted to read it too. Unfortunately, my library doesn't have it. When I told her.... she let me borrow her copy! I can only say to her: thank you for not seeing me as another teacher and showing me what you care about. She was right btw, this is a great book!
Yes! Lazily reading in bed on a Sunday evening after moving yesterday. I'm happy to see that Odysseus and Penelope are also discussing interior decorating. Sleep well!
My handle here is from a quote by Oscar Wilde: " The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention ". I try to be kind, but I forget sometimes. This quote reminds me. Also, I'm kinda small and people used to tease me with it. Now I know that I'm perceived a certain way and I make use of it.
@Chelleo thank you for the inspiration!

As a biology teacher I talk about sex. A lot. Mary Roach gave me new facts and made me laugh out loud! I thoroughly recommend this book. Her writing style is quirky but gets the point across. I booked this as 'a book about sports' on #popsugar2018
Amazing book! There was more going on than I imagined, it was personally recommended to me by a colleague and he was right! However: the Next hunger games? No way! That's a selling trick. Read this.
I got this book in my last #libraryhaul because I liked the cover. I couldn't really get in to the book, maybe because I didn't read the first one? I think the plot could have been more complex. Sometimes it felt like a long narration of things they saw. However, if you are looking for an easy read, and you have read the first one, I would definitely recommend it. There's a lot of cool pictures too! #popsugar2018
Finally time to read! After the snow and hail and rain of today I'm so ready to snuggle up :) #tea #winterweather #timetoread
I read this book because my students have to read it. I loved it! I think the themes of teens trying to find their place in the world is recognizable for my students.
As you can see by the dust jacket: I love this book and I've read it a few times. I like the fairy tale themes combined with a tough lady who follows her own path. I thought it was unique, because of the central role nature played in the story.
The omens are here! What will happen?
