Shipping to Alaska takes a little longer, but I finally received Apparently Sir Cameron Needs to Die by @pangur-and-grim . I love the cover art, and can't wait to finish it!

summer reading list 🥀 (25+ books!)

Summer isn’t meant for “dutiful” books. It’s meant for those titles that have the strength to compete with the blinding sun or to give meaning to the melancholy of a sudden thunderstorm.

In this list you will find only what has passed my personal litmus test: that ability to cling to the skin like the heavy humidity of a metropolis in mid-August. It thickens around you, clouds your mind, and yet, you cannot do without it.

summer journal - entry #1

it's my first day of summer break! of course i still have things to do — work, school choir performance, i have to pack later for my travels which i really don't want to do but THEN i'm free😮‍💨

summer weather is not summering tho cus tell me why i tried to wear shorts today and i was so cold. gonna go outside for a little bit later and see if it's even warmer but wowzers.

it doesn't feel real that school's over. i have to do some school stuff over the summer, including summer reading, which MEANS i get to go to the bookstore! i have to read 1000 pages so here are the books i've chosen (idk abt some of them, if anyone's read any of these can you say if it was good?)

I'm taking advantage of the summer to read Jazz by Toni Morrison, My Effin' Life by Geddy Lee, Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, and the 48 Laws of Power.

The last one is good but there is a lot to it and so many of the laws contradict themselves. Plus most of it is how to take advantage of other people which is not something I am actively looking to do. Though a lot of it I do see in other people, people I've worked with and especially in politicians.

Jazz is absolutely spectacular. I saw a poll asking about Toni Morrison books and I realized I needed to read more.

Spaghetti Lee book I've only listening to with my husband and he only has time to listen to it when we are on the road trips so I am not gotten very far into that. We are about on chapter 10 but it's really good nonetheless. Very sad, very funny.

Everything that I am learning about the Nazis in World War II from the Brad Meltzer book just makes it all the more incredible that Geddy's parents survive their time in the concentration camps.

I am almost done with the Nazi Conspiracy : The Plot to Kill Stalin, Churchill, and FDR by Brad Meltzer.

I thought I was going to enjoy teaching Texas history a lot more than I did this year. Maybe it's because I don't know enough about it, or at least didn't know as much as I thought I did. But oh my God teaching American history the last 3 years really gave me a huge love for the subject. I've always been fascinated by the 1920s but there is so much to learn about World War II and that time between the twenties and World War II. I really and truly wish they would send me back to teaching fifth grade even though 5th graders are a lot tougher than fourth graders.
