Tropic of Violence: A Novel | Nathacha Appanah

I've been quite busy this month with work... So I haven't read as much as I wanted to. But despite it all, it was quite a good reading month. The three books on the pic were excellent, I 100% recommend them.

The Secrets of the Wild Wood | Tonke Dragt

978 1 782690 62 7; for the memorial read.

I liked 'Letter for the King' a few years ago. Nice but not finding it engaging (whether that is due to the translation or the original writing I don't know). I do like the illustrations, which are by the author

humouress Part 3 chapter 7: with its maybe-fey woods and cryptic remarks by several characters I feel we‘re on the cusp of something. First we were looking for a friend, who still hasn‘t turned up, and now we‘re helping another friend find his way home, but he doesn‘t seem sure that he wants to go there. 1mo

humouress Finding the writing a bit rough (the original?/ the translation?); I keep getting snagged and it‘s slowing me down. ETA: I think the plotting is good but the vocabulary and maybe pacing are off. There are subtleties (the chess match) and tension - I had to put it down at the penultimate chapter. Better get back and see what happens… (edited) 1mo

Tropic of Violence: A Novel | Nathacha Appanah

pick

4/5
Excellent novel about an isolated teen living in Mayotte. Written with different voices, we discover his story, from his early childhood to the present.
Trigger warning: this book is violent, but very realistic. That's what I liked about it. The different characters are well-built, the change of tone between characters is impressive.
Beautifully written, the author used her experience there to write this book.

I've read Hollywood Wives and Hollywood Husbands, so when I came across this last fall at the library book sale I thought might as well round out the family 😂
I'm looking forward to good, trashy read.

Not If I Can Help It | Carolyn Mackler

pick

My almost 10 year old really liked the book. She liked learning about Willa‘s struggles with Sensory Processing Disorder (her Autistic brother has SPD & it helped her understand him). The story is told from Willa‘s perspective. I am a little more critical than my daughter, so it‘s a low pick for me. I do feel that representation matters & there needs to be more stories for kids about all kinds of disorders & disabilities. But…

ncsufoxes I also feel that this story is written from someone with privilege. Many kids do not get to see an OT just for SPD. SPD is not a medical diagnosis & it‘s difficult to get OT paid for through your insurance (depends on your insurance too). My son did have OT & some of his therapy focused on his SPD but he was found to have motor delays which allowed him to qualify for therapy. In the book Willa gets OT twice a week, meaning her parents are able to 2mo

ncsufoxes afford the out of pocket cost. Many families can‘t afford that. Which kids reading this might wonder why they can‘t get the same therapy that Willa finds so helpful. I wish every kid with SPD had better access to therapy, it is very beneficial. We were very lucky to have great therapists over the years to provide us with access & info. Therapists are also stretching the lines sometimes in order to help families but they are very limited. Not every 2mo

ncsufoxes therapist has the same views. We had one therapist with one medical group flat out say our son didn‘t need anything (as he was sensory seeking & running circles around the clinic, this was over a few “consultation” sessions). 2mo

IriDas I agree about the place of privilege. It is frustrating when books present the ability to access services as a thing easily attained. So many of them do not present the fight parents have to engage in just to try to get services. 2mo
