I’m a huge Angie Thomas fan. I love both her books, but I loved this one especially because of the relationship between Bri and her mother and because Angie Thomas is such a good writer she made me listen to rap music. No specific group to recommend this to, I would recommend this one across the board. Everyone should read On the Come Up.

Watership Down by Richard Adams is a book that brings back a flood of emotions. So many feels. We did it in sixth grade as a read-aloud and I remember there were times when the whole class, my teacher included, sniffled our way through Fiver’s journey.

Okay, I love this book. I love Wolfpack so much that I bought it after I read it. Not just for myself, but for many of the young women in my life who are graduating this year. This book is based on Abby Wambach’s 2018 commencement speech to the graduating class at Barnard College and it’s become a rally cry for women to find their pack and find their power.

On the last Monday in May, all over the US we fly flags, grill burgers, hang out with family, and maybe take advantage of the weekend sales. But while all of that is great, that’s not what Memorial Day is about. Memorial Day is about honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. It’s about taking time to reflect on that sacrifice.
