Notice & Note – I Wish My Teachers Had Read This Book!

Nov 17, 2022Dec 10, 2022 Maria

I read this book because I wanted to learn how to better engage with a text I'm reading, how to better understand it. I also wanted to learn better how to help my son fall in love with literature and reading. This book was great for both!

Nov 5, 2022Sep 5, 2023 Maria

This week, I want to build a little upon last week's discussion and talk about a positive role model, a woman I consider to be the ultimate hustler in the Victorian Era and how you are better off reading this book than "Hustle".

The Immortality Thief

Oct 8, 2022Jan 20, 2023 Maria

This book is Taran Hunt's debut novel and I was enchanted by it! If you look for a fast paced, epic sci-fi, involving sword fights in outer space, as well as fascinating discussions around alien cultures, traditions and language, this is the book for you!

Middlemarch – The Prelude

Oct 7, 2022Jan 3, 2024 Maria
