Library Haul. 3 of these were on hold and became available and 3 I grabbed while there. That's usually how it goes. I tell my husband that I'm going to pick up a book and come back with more.

This was a quick read. It had some tough issues in it that needed to be talked about. I enjoyed reading this book. I rated this book a 4 out of 5 stars.

Book #22 of 2023: “Speak” by Laurie Halse Anderson

I can‘t remember if I read this in middle school or not but it seemed vaguely familiar. It‘s well written YA fiction.

I read this book as part of a challenge where we were asked to read a book that was banned.It was a memoir,not my usual genre.I had to google to find out why this book was banned,and found out that a man had been falsely convicted of rape.He spent many years in jail based on this false conviction. Parts of the memoir weren‘t easy to read, and parts dragged on in my opinion.I do feel bad for what the author had to endure,it changed her entire life.

1. My district started on July 31st for the teachers 😳 and August 3rd for the students.
2. School settings I enjoyed: SPEAK, all the HARRY POTTERS, THE SECRET HISTORY, A SEPARATE PEACE ... I could go on, but I won't bore you. 😃
Thanks for the tags @TheSpineView @Monica5 @Cbee @The_Penniless_Author

TheBookgeekFrau Oooooo I Loved A Separate Peace! 💕 8mo
Amiable @dabbe I went with “Crossing to Safety“ because you can never go wrong with Wallace Stegner. 😍 8mo
AmyG Thanks for the tag 😘 8mo
dabbe @CBee That was my favorite book to teach to the freshmen. #powerfulindeed 8mo
dabbe @AmyG 🤩🤗😍 8mo
dabbe @TheBookgeekFrau Me, too! My students found it challenging, but hey, that's a good thing, right? 🤣 8mo
AlaMich Wow, July 31st? That‘s so early! Our kids come back August 23. 8mo
dabbe @AlaMich I think they've tried to make it as close to a year-round school as they can. They get a week off in October and November, and they end before Memorial Day. 8mo
AlaMich @dabbe Ok, that makes more sense. 😊 8mo

Deeply dark and deeply raw.

I think I have finally found my Oates wheelhouse. The criminal revenge tales.
