Recommendation

Visionary Writing
As a writer I am nourished by the written word and affected by almost everything I read. I quote, empathize, envy, or recommend what others write but rarely does a book change who I am. Until now.

What I Read: July (2023)
It’s rare that I am not reading anything. I am usually so wrapped up in a book, that I have to force myself to put it down to do literally anything else. I have always been like this, even as a child, teachers often had to tell me to put a book away and pay attention to class. I still, however, sometimes fall into reading slumps, where I pick up a book, and no matter how well it is written or how interesting the plot is, I can’t seem to fully immerse myself in the story and am almost constantly distracted.

Things I love about-’Is Love The Answer’ by Uta Isaki
This is my first ‘book club’ challenge. I know it might be odd for some viewers. It’s a graphic or an illustrated novel, like a comic book, but not a literary novel. It's one of the best coming-of-age stories that I highly recommend for Aromantic/Asexual Pride. I know it's not a hundred percent transformation. But, it's one of the best books to know that I'm not alone.

The Orwell Experience
I honestly wish I had a better recollection of what caused me to pick up and read the novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four” by George Orwell. A cinematic opening to a story of me journeying from library to library seeking veracity and critical thinking.

The House of the Scorpion
I was stumped trying to figure out what to read next. Nothing seemed to jump out at me from the pile of unopened books on my shelf at home, so I turned to the only place I could think of for suggestions–my classroom. My students have quite the eclectic taste when it comes to books, so I knew that I would get suggestions that I wouldn’t have stumbled across myself. One suggestion, from one of my more voracious readers, led me to pick up Nancy Farmer’s, “The House of the Scorpion.”
