October Reads

Okay totally should have updated this early. October has been a super crazy month. Check out my blog with all that has been happening. Here are my reads for October. I've been really into audio books. DID YOU KNOW WE HAVE FREE ONES?!


A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle- This is a classic children's book I've never read. I want to thank one of my students for the suggestion. As far as sci-fi goes, this is soooo good. This classic novel focuses on higher elements of astrophysics. While a child might not quite understand it, I love all the science of space time dimension in this. Imagine if Dr. Who was turned into an award winning novel and you have A Wrinkle in Time. Not only is this a rocking science fiction, but it is also a perfectly sweet children's novel. I love that it let me escape my own world. If you just need a quick, good read, pick this one up. 

Every Last Word by Tamara Ireland Stone- This book is beautifully written but very predictable, but some of my students said it was a twist for them. Maybe I just read too much. Anyway, this book covers the life of a girl who is struggling with who she is. The story is a coming of age story that focuses on poetry. I love the hidden underground of friend she forms. Stone also does a great job of addresses mental health. If you struggle with mental health or are just interested in the topic, this is a great book to read. As someone with anxiety, I could definitely relate to the character at times.
