It's Monday! What Are you reading?
Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! a kidlit focus. If you read and review books in children’s literature – picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult novels or anything in those genres – join them. (From thebookdate.)
Last week, I finally managed to finish up The Wife Between Us and The Limits of the World. My monkey has been sick, but has gotten better, thank goodness! Now he seems like his usual self. As we leave 2019 and begin 2020, I feel extremely saddened by the state of the world, that the lessons and experiences my parents have hoped we wouldn't experience or know, we are experiencing way too much of in the real world. And this is the world that our children and, perhaps, grandchildren will inherit. Please think about what type of world you want for people to inherit, and please at least be respectful of each other's differences. Please don't cause everyone to hate one another nor cause any type of hurt or hatred for a group different than what you believe. Let my son live in the world that will love and respect him for being who he is- a talented boy who I hope will contribute much to society.

That Churchill Woman catches my eye. Yes lets all endeavour to build a kinder better world where we all accept differences. Here in NZ we have our struggles and yet the terrible shooting of Muslims in 2019 in Christchurch opened our hearts to how we might not be doing that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting Kathryn T. It often feels that in America no matter what happens people never learn from tragedies and they rarely do things to prevent tragedies, at least in my view. In my opinion, you don't have to like someone/or someone's views, but you have to respect them and let them live their lives.
DeleteI like the cover of That Churchhill Woman. I've seen it on other blogs and it never fails to catch me eye. Sorry it has taken me all week to get to your blog. See what I read at Girl Who Reads
ReplyDeleteIt's okay Girl Who Reads. Can't wait to see what you're reading this week!
