Spark Books
Recently, I finished reading Birds Art Life: A Year of Observation by Kyo Maclear. This is the current book in Life’s Library, the book club that has come to mean a lot to me, and will soon be taking a new direction which makes me both sad and excited. Sad, for the loss of a book and fun perks arriving on my doorstep every month, and excitement about seeing what the club will look like in the…

Playing Catchup
Hello again! It’s been awhile since I last updated ya’ll on books I’ve read. My reading has been slow, it feels like. I have a tendency to want to fall asleep after a few pages. Not because the book is boring, but because my body feels old. I’ve read a few books since my last post, so I’m just going to talk about all of them. Ace: What Asexuality Reveals about Desire, Society, and the Meaning of…

To Repair the World
This is a few days late, but I recently finished reading To Repair the World: Paul Farmer Speaks to the Next Generation by Paul Farmer. It is a collection of his speeches dedicated to global health equity and social justice. I became of aware of Dr. Farmer because of my involvement with Life’s Library. The proceeds from the subscriptions go to Partners In Health, an organization co-founded by…

Battle of the Bookish- Book 5
*******CONTAINS SPOILERS******* 5 down, 1 to go. Tonight I finished up Their Eyes Were Watching God, by Zora Neale Hurston. This was the “people’s choice” for Life’s Library, meaning that this book was chosen by members of the club. This was my fifth book to read for #battleofthebookish, read for the prompt of “any book”. I had a hard time with this book. The narration of the story was good,…

Ringing in the new year with the Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
Ringing in the new year with the Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
Happy New Year!! I closed out 2020 by finishing The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab. This book was read for the Little Women Readathon, for the prompt of “Club of Geniuses- book featuring art/an artist”, as well as a read-along with member of the Life’s Library book club. Sadly, I didn’t not complete this readathon, having only read 2 of the 5 prompts. I will try to use the rest of…

I’m almost done with “We Crossed a Bridge and It Trembled”. My heart aches for everyone affected by the turmoil in Syria. Through the terror expressed in the stories of Syrians, however, there are messages of hope. This quote in particular reminded me of what John Green has said about education in the past, and why it is so critical to have access to education. An educated population is good for the whole, and uneducated population is only good for those in power. “Public education does not exist for the benefit of students or the benefit of their parents. It exists for the benefit of the social order. We have discovered as a species that it is useful to have an educated population. You do not need to be a student or have a child who is a student to benefit from public education. Every second of every day of your life, you benefit from public education.” #lifeslibrary https://www.instagram.com/sourkrause94/p/BwaULI-AMTY43GXcll9JxKOMFVCZKtFhRTHrt00/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eu7ycyglp1e9
A sign of peace in a world of tension. I’m reading “We Crossed a Bridge and It Trembled” by Wendy Pearlman as part of #lifeslibrary and, as with other life’s library books, it is truly an amazing book. Pearlman has established a collection of accounts from Syrian’s about the Syrian crisis. In this passage a person recalls the 27th of Ramadan, where the community prays at the mosque together and eat a meal together before sunrise. A few brave men take food to the soldiers surrounding the mosque. The soldiers refused. Food has a way of bringing people together. Those men tried to reach out through this conflict. They were rejected. We need to become better, as a community, to reach out to others and to not reject those reaching out in kindness. Be kind. https://www.instagram.com/sourkrause94/p/BvvDc08Aw7UgmGxp9gDAJ3DK9ZXsklShuJKQlA0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=68jzg6xvnzvr
