so-soI picked this up for info on the Secret War after a friend told me her family fled Laos during the war (my friend is not Hmong but Mien - which, I can‘t find anything on to read). It‘s very informative & I‘m looking forward to Kao Kalia Yang‘s next book: The Song Poet. Giving it a so-so bc the writing felt a bit stiff. I‘m hoping that the author‘s voice is more evident in The Song Poet. Finished on a flt to MN which has a large Hmong community.

pickAn adventure on the high seas with a talented junior mapmaker. I never really thought about how ships figured out where to go to “discover” a new landmass. There was definite emphasis on how there were already people in these places that were claimed to have been found by the empire.

Trix could not remember this and, given her current interest in historical disasters via the I Survive series, I thought she may enjoy a re-listen. It is an amazing story
pickI was dreading reading this 4th book in Riley‘s Seven Sisters series because I‘ve never liked CeCe. It turns out — in spite of the ridiculousness of some of the coincidences — that this is my favorite book so far. I came to understand and appreciate CeCe as she learns to understand and appreciate herself. My daughter is out of town, so for the first time, I took Missy for a walk by myself. She did good. 😊 #audiowalk
A little too many coincidences in this book — many of which are completely unbelievable — but I‘m still enjoying it. I‘ve got about 4 hours left. Lovely, if a little chilly, #audiowalk today — well, yesterday really as it‘s after 1:00am where I am.
