I need to set aside some time in the chaos of the week to read it. <br /><br />Also - can you tell me how to find the embed code for the We Need Diverse Books button? I'd love to add that to my blog! maria.selkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12052847577940056985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-83425123351619010072014-09-05T05:31:22.985-07:002014-09-05T05:31:22.985-07:00Brown Girl Dreaming sounds so beautiful.

It really gives a raw view of the life of migrant workers. It's nice to have short stories because teachers could read just a few of them when teaching a history unit.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662811441487822589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-48666757195536720322014-09-02T19:22:20.097-07:002014-09-02T19:22:20.097-07:00I have to finish Coldest Girl before I can get bac...I have to finish Coldest Girl before I can get back to the memoir, but I was enjoying it before I paused. ;)Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662811441487822589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-51339348783817045932014-09-01T22:36:34.419-07:002014-09-01T22:36:34.419-07:00Lots of fun books.

Be sure to read Relish - I loved it! I bought the mother/daughter memoir with Sue Monk Kidd, but haven't gotten to it yet. Looking forward to hearing what you think. The Impossible Knife of Memory was so raw and compelling - Laurie Halse Anderson sure can write!! Great reads this week!!Holly Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476411667354933648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-1291177608311222462014-09-01T16:34:54.273-07:002014-09-01T16:34:54.273-07:00Hi Crystal, I am definitely starting Brown Girl Dr...Hi Crystal, I am definitely starting Brown Girl Dreaming tonight! Little Elliot seems to be everywhere this week, but there don't seem to be any copies through my library-bummer. I read Celebrating Writers last spring, but I should revisit it, great ideas there.
