All We Have Left | 
pickThis was a great young adult novel covering the events of 9/11 with a spotlight on religious intolerance. Pretty emotional.
I recommend giving this a read.
What I do on break you ask? I read bc I‘ve worked back to back the past couple days with no time to read.
This book focuses on the lives of two very different girls & how their life is affected by the twin towers incident. One the day it happened, one 15 years later whose brother had died from the incident. I‘m about 100 pages in & I‘m very invested.
May tbr which includes 4 new reads & 3 re-reads. Not sure which one to pick up but it‘s between Harry Potter & the sorcerers stone & all we have left. First world book problems 🤷🏼♀️
pick"people do terrible things. people do beautiful things. it's against the black backdrop of evil that the shining light of good shows the brightest."
//i don't really know what to say besides this book was fantastic.// #touching #eyeopener
pickJesse learns a #hardlesson by acting out years after the death of brother in the 9/11 attack.
This was a good read, not great but good. A well written story touching on some sensitive subjects. I would have liked more character development and the way that Jesse learns her lesson almost feels like Wendy Mills took the easy way out some how but still I enjoyed reading this book.
⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jesse almost seems to be a typical good girl gone bad in this scene where she and her friends spray paint yet another building in their neighborhood but beneath her normal teen angst lies a world of grief and pain.

pickI picked up this book because it had a pretty cover.
I picked it up this morning and have been reading it in every spare moment all day. And now at it's completion I sit here crying. This book is beautiful and everyone needs to read it.
Even in the face of incomprehensible evil, the human spirit prevailed. ♥️ Emotional and powerful read.
Not sure if I'm emotionally ready for this book. Anyone read this yet?
pickNo book has made me cry like this for a long time. It manly was happy crying, though. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ x a million stars. I like this almost as much as Speak 😮. An extremely important look at anti-Islam views and dealing with loss.
If you haven't read this yet, add it to the top of your #TBR . No words can express how amazing Alia and Jesse's journey is.
“I wanted to write a story that made our shared history accessible to them, there‘s a whole generation of kids who weren‘t alive and don‘t know what it was like that day, and they‘re not going to know the world before 9/11." ??❤️
This year marks the first year that freshmen in high school will not have lived through 9/11.
Thanks Wendy, for being a voice to teens, and for sharing such an important event in history through fiction literature.?

pickOutstanding! Moving and engrossing story about 9/11 and the people impacted by it. Loved the characters and didn't stop reading until I had finished the author's note. Couldn't put it down until I had the answers to all the questions.
