that or a rap fest gone bad:)

“the hansens method” – book on marathoning – by the team that worked with the lady who won boston – good book post-Boston for me – they do some different things so it’s a good time to try different after a big race

“higher loyalty” – book by fired FBI director – really good book – surprisingly good – not a lot good to say about our current president – go figure – but a good book on leadership

“slave day” – reprint of a 1990s book – so it took me back:) the author is the creator of the veronica mars series – so that was a plus

“all about anne” – from the anne frank house – highly recommended – very good read – will try to get classroom copies this fall

“attucks” – story of first af-am basketball team to win an integrated state high school championship – great, great YA book

“the class” – great book about a sci class in conn – the teacher’s work is very inspiring

“after zero” – great YA book about selective mutism – great read about an important issue

“half the sky” – book about opening opportunities for women across the world

“not if i save you first” – so a new-ish YA book – former BOB author – i recommended it – or said it wasn’t the worst book ever:) for the library – i was the screener – so you have me to blame if you read it – although, i do think girls will probably enjoy it

“from the outside” – ray allen’s new book – allen is about my age – so i love reading tales of old men who played in the nba – it was a good book:)

“my year in the middle” – great new YA – actually, probably young YA – story of a sixth grader in 1970 in Alabama – historical fiction – but lots about the wallace-brewer run off – really recommendable to all ages – and well researched – and lived – but the author

“fascism” – new book by albright, former secretary of state – with this word being used a lot now, she takes a more in-depth approach to the word – what it means historically and currently – she has a good sense of humor – really good book and recommendable
