pickOh, man…this book hurt my heart. However, it further solidified my opinion that Sabaa Tahir will always be an automatic-buy author for me. Whether it‘s fantasy or YA literature, her words are incredible.

This reveal shocked me!! I‘m reading this on a road trip and have been curious how the three perspectives were connected, it is so fun that Mr. Howe is the nerdy turtle lover in the third POV. It reveals a lot about his background and nature. This reminds me of a book I recently read named “Death of the Author” by Nnedi Okorafor. She had a similar POV reveal, although it was slightly more dramatic.
“They were a pair in the same way a pair of headphones was a pair — connected and sharing a music only they possessed.”
I love this quote. There are several types of love and relationships (e.g. platonic, romantic, familial, etc.) and I feel like this quote could encompass several meanings depending on the context.
I love this definition of meaning. As a pre-ELA teacher, it is cool to see authors teach readers via their characters. I‘d be interested to see if my students would care or pick up on this definition while reading independently.
I like how Mr. Howe is portrayed so far. He is showing restraint in how he talks to, displaying how teachers often feel as though they are voiceless due to the pressure from society. He seems invested in his students.
I literally just started this book and wanted to comment on the phrase “It would be a good idea to stop and consider what you think about this sentence” (pg. 2). I love that the author instructs the reader to pause while reading and muse over what the sentence above means to them. The repetition indicates it is an important sentence, but as a teacher it is cool to have more explicit instruction for students within the text, from the author.
pickI‘m usually not a fan of sequels but this one was nice. And I would read a third book with these characters. I really got to like Darius.
so-soMy least favorite book from Phoebe Wahl. This is about Sonya and her chickens. She did lose a chick and had to bury her but took care of the rest of the chickens so no other ones would die. Graphics were good. I just couldn't get into the story.

And so it begins. Someday I will move. I hope. The hottest day ever recorded here was 122ºF (50ºC). This Saturday we'll be about 10 degrees away from that. And it's only June. And not even officially summer. Counting the days until fall. 🍁
But it's a dry heat!
People who've never lived here
simply can't say that. 🔥
