pickThese are vignettes from some famous names but mostly people I didn‘t know about facing adversity. When someone said “you can‘t” because of disability, race, gender, sexuality, or other reasons, these people just went on and did it anyway. It‘s YA and definitely targeted at teens, but a good reminder for anyone about the power of determination.

#LiteraryCrew : There are 3 questions posted for today‘s discussion. They can be found on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtag.
We had a tie for the #BuddyRead list this year; I didn‘t want us to miss reading this book. I chose today for the discussion because in the US it‘s a day to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. It‘s a good day to remember those who continue to speak up for their rights in any way they can.

2. In her January 19, 2025 Letters from an American, Heather Cox Richardson discusses heroes, those who may not hold a fancy title but are average individuals who take a stand. I'll link to today's letter in the comments--you can read it without subscribing, just click “not now“ to avoid giving your email address--in case you wish to read this.
How are the characters in the stories heroes? Are they heroes? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
1. This collection of stories represents a diverse group of young adults, each facing a difficult situation. Which story resonated with you the most?
For me, it was the “homecoming“ story--what a terror the MC had to face, and why did her crush think this was the coolest way to ask her out??? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
pickEveryone can make a difference. Even a small step against an injustice makes an impact.
This #Anthology of fictional stories for a #Teen audience shows characters from diverse backgrounds standing up for themselves, sometimes loudly and other times quietly. It takes lots of courage to do what some of these characters did to support themselves and their communities. A great book for a YA discussion group!
#LiteraryCrew : discussion on Monday!

pick#Read2025 January 2025 #LiteraryCrew There is some powerful story telling in this book. I look forward to discussing it with the group on the 20th. If you care about civil rights, if you care about human beings, I urge you to read this book!
Great series of short stories of differing groups that feel marginalized.
Thanks! #LiteraryCrew @Librarybelle

I really liked this short audio book and the messages portrayed. I think it would be an excellent book for a family to read together. I‘m rarely a fan of short stories but these worked for me. Read for #LiteraryCrew discussion 1/20. #52Bookclub25 #MultipleNarratorsAudiobook 3 squares #JanuaryISpy
