A Girl Like Me by Angela Johnson5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() They depict a diverse group of girls who stand together and create their own community for change and dreams.ĭynamic and inclusive, this book offers inspiration for girls to just be themselves. Crews has illustrated the book in her signature photograph collages. This book does a great job countering those messages, showing girls who stretch the limits as happy, confident and part of a larger group. Told in very simple lines, this picture book talks frankly about the limitations placed on girls in our society and the pressures they feel to conform. The book ends with each of the girls in the photographs sharing a bit about themselves and their personal dreams for their futures. But instead of listening to the critics, in this picture book they embrace wearing costumes and head to the beach together where they created something even better than their dreams. Girls shouldn’t be flying, they shouldn’t walk tall, and they need to stay out of the water. Sometimes when girls dream big, people say that they shouldn’t be doing that. A Girl Like Me by Angela Johnson, illustrated by Nina Crews (9781541557772)Ī group of girls share their dreams with the reader in this picture book. ![]()

Ruthless king meghan march5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() Lucky me, the Army Library has plenty of her books and the ones they don’t have I will pick up! With the exception of Keira, I loved the characters and look forward to all the growth as the story progresses. Overall, Ruthless King snared me and I have found a new author that I adore. Hopefully, I will like her more in the next book. I wish she would listen to Magnolia’s advice a little better. ![]() I did like the fire she showed in the one-on-ones with Mount. I wish I liked her character more but she just grated on me during her inner turmoil moments. ![]() Keira “Ke-Ke” was a frustrating character and I’m hoping she experiences some growth in the next book. I’m really hoping we get a better look into who he is in book two, which I can hardly wait to dive into because that ENDING had me sitting up shouting “WHAT?” and my child and husband staring at me like I had lost my mind. He isn’t just a completely unhinged loon being a menace. ![]() The best part about Mount, aside from being deliciously wicked, is the ability to rationalize his behavior. I decided to take a chance because I didn’t mind the gal’s voice and since I’ve committed to trying something new each week, this was my plunge for new experiences!Īnti-heroes can be so fun. I like when the emotion comes through rather than just a neutral reading. I tend to have a difficult time with audiobooks as narrators tend to be hit or miss with me. I selected the audiobook for Ruthless King on a whim as I trolled through my library’s options last week. ![]()

Dan brown inferno summary5/30/2023 ![]() Like a nutty magus, Brown smirks as his plots fast-forward human history to the last days, when we will all be raptured into annihilation by bombs, vials of antimatter particles or a lethal pandemic. Hogwarts Academy, compared with Brown's brain, is a clean, well-lighted, supremely lucid place. He views creation as a cryptogram, and babbles about murderous albino priests, self-gelded ogres and a female devil who dresses in black leather and bestraddles a motorbike he is fiendishly elated by the prospect of the world's imminent demise. Inferno begins with the hero suffering from "head trauma", and Brown's head – a boggy hideout for the craziest superstitions of the so-called Dark Ages – seems to be similarly traumatised. Now, after reading the latest version of the apocalyptic thriller he rewrites every few years, I suspect he might be mad as well. ![]() ![]() I used to think that Dan Brown was merely bad. ![]()

Heist society book5/30/2023 ![]() Historically, any vacancy would have been met with a waiting list a mile long, but this year, for some reason, there was only one applicant eager to enroll at that late date. ![]() Photos of presidents and senators and CEOs still lined the dark-paneled hallway outside the headmaster’s office.īut in the old days, no one would ever have declined admission to Colgan on the day before classes started, forcing the administration to scramble to fill the slot.
