Reading is my destresser (I am a special education teacher, there's a lot of stress!), so I plow through a lot of books during the school year in every spare moment - mainly when my daughter is with her dad on certain days. I'd love to know if you try any of these in the future, and what you think.

And I was really happily surprised by DQC, it was so true to what we factually know about the Tudors, I loved it and could not put it down.

I LOVED so many of these books myself--The Hate U Give, Dead Queens Club, Becoming, Parkland--and a good majority of the others you listed are on my TBR for the rest of the year, so now I'm even more hyped to give them a go in the future.

It hit especially close to home for me because so many of my students are African-American boys, identified as being emotionally disturbed/behaviorally disordered. My paraprofessionals and I have talked to them so many times about what to do if stopped by an officer, practically all but begging them to just be quiet and do what they're told, be calm, keep your hands visible, all the things I ams ure their parents have told them a million times as well. It is a hard book to read, but an important book and I wish it was required reading for everyone.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-77561397027553403692019-07-31T22:05:44.481-05:002019-07-31T22:05:44.481-05:00I have been book-blessed, that is for sure!

Reading is my refuge when life is tough (I am a teacher of students identified as emotionally disturbed, so life was tough a lot this past school year). Plus, when my daughter has to be at her father's house, pretty much all I do is read and blog - takes my mind off her having to be gone, and marginally distracts me for a little while.<br /><br />One fiction book that did not make the list due to being a 4-star read is the Au Pair, which I also really liked. But I definitely recommend any of these fiction titles (and non-fiction for that matter, because that's my thing) but Dead Queens Club was also SO SO GOOD. It is truly the best Tudor fiction I have ever read in terms of staying 100% true to what we factually know about the period. I loved it.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-86618884374603327942019-07-31T22:01:45.773-05:002019-07-31T22:01:45.773-05:00I've had to take a break from those topics for...I've had to take a break from those topics for a while now, but you are right in that they are so important and impact our society right now, every minute, every second.<br /><br />I believe Mrs. Obama does too, it will be even more powerful in her own voice.
