In my classroom I have implemented reading and the kids are loving it in the morning they have a choice of dance or book's and most of the time it's always book's which makes me very happy 😊

P.s we have loads of books in the class these are just ones a read this morning.

Hello Litsy!
I know it's been a while since I posted, but it's a combination of the app not working, a broken hip, and a reading slump!
Anyway, this book has helped get me out of the 4 month reading slump, so I recommend it with reservations. The next picture I post will be under a spoiler, as it contains the content warnings.

My shelfie from Fable. I can‘t stop thinking about Slow Noodles! I had never heard of Khmer Rouge until I read Anthony Veasna So earlier this year, and it blows my mind. I love reading. There‘s so much to learn and books bridge worlds.

Be sure to resupply your box of tissues before picking this book up 😭 Chantha‘s story is unimaginable and her heartbreak bleeds off the pages. A truly incredible woman. Her recipes give you a chance to clear your eyes before you dive back in. I picked this up because it was a staff recommendation at my local library and now I‘m recommending it to you.

Slow Noodles is a perfectly titled book about a woman‘s experiences in Cambodia. Often painful, this memoir does not shy away from the struggles and darkness Nguon went through, namely the loss of many of her family members; the trauma of her mother‘s death was especially painful. However, her food descriptions were lovely, and arranged to fit each occasion in her life. Food is central to her memories and this memoir, very well done!

Dark tourism is the exact opposite of normal tourism. The author here prefers this kind of travel, though most people shun it. He grew up in Beirut so is familiar with life in the middle of chaos. In this book he tells us about his trips to such places as Iran (for the skiing), Chernobyl, North Korea, Cambodia and Beirut. He even discovered that Osama bin Laden was a student at his old school. Entertaining and affecting. Four stars
