I can‘t believe it‘s that time of year again! What should the #hashtagbrigade read next year? We read chapter a day, and we can spread any book over a couple months, so don‘t be afraid to nominate a longer book. I‘ll hold the nominations for a couple weeks, and then open up the voting.

The 1619 Project: Born on the Water | Rene Watson, Nikole Hannah-Jones

Beautiful, heartbreaking, and inspiring poems set to gorgeous illustrations. There‘s pain here, but also strength and hope. I haven‘t read the adult version of the 1619 Project, yet, but it‘s on my TBR.

REPollock This looks great! I loved the audiobook of 1w
REPollock Perhaps “loved” is a poor choice of word. I appreciated all the different narrators and learning about things I wasn‘t taught in school. 1w
DGRachel @REPollock I totally understand what you mean. I have it on audiobook and I‘ll listen to it when I‘m in a better headspace. I‘m discovering more and more just how skewed my education was and it‘s disheartening to say the least. 1w
kspenmoll This is such a gorgeous book! 1w

Normally, I wouldn't pick a book with these colors on the cover, but it's for one of the reading groups here on Litsy. Also, normally, I wouldn't read anything someone considers cozy. Not because I have a problem with them, but they don't usually seem to end up in my TBR. Glad I read this one. I recommend it if you need a light read with what are actually heavy themes. And, especially so if you work or have a child in elementary school.😄

Subbing in the school library today. Bittersweet because this is the library where I‘d hoped to work. They still haven‘t hired a permanent person. Makes me feel kind of put out. They didn‘t even interview me.

willaful Irritating! I worked with a woman who finally gave up and moved to a healthcare office because she couldn't get hired for the library job she'd been doing for months. 🙄 3w
Susanita Ugh. That‘s rude of them! 3w
IriDas @willaful That‘s terrible and so disappointing. 3w

IriDas @Susanita Yeah, I‘m not sure what‘s going on. The initial interview for the district, before the I was placed on the potentials list, was so odd. They didn‘t even ask me about my work with children or in libraries or my education. They seemed to want to know if I could push the paper and kiss the arses. I keep trying to convince myself it‘s probably better to just sub. :/ 3w
dabbe They sound pretty f---ed up in not even giving you a chance to interview and show who you are. Maybe if they see you sub there, they'll give you an interview. If not, it's THEIR loss. 💛💜🩶 3w
IriDas @dabbe I think it was a seniority issue or something but then they didn‘t hire anyone so they‘re just using a permanent substitute? 3w
AnnCrystal I hope they finally give you an interview and the position 📚😘📚. 3w
IriDas @AnnCrystal 👍🏼 3w

Haven‘t been around much because we are moving. This is our first morning in the new place. It was warm for most of the moving process, but yesterday the weather returned to our usual mild coastal weather. Hopefully it will stay that way since now we have to clean the old place. I hope to reign in the chaos before I have to go back to work in October. 😊

TheBookgeekFrau Congratulations!! 🎉🎊 May the unpacking process be swift and easy ☺️ 1mo
