March Reading Wrap-up
It’s not an April Fools Day joke, but I am actually posting my March Reading Wrap-Up on time for once. I’m still enjoying audiobooks as one of my main ways to consume books. They especially kept me going during my spring cleaning projects. I think I also found a new favorite narrator and poet with Hannah V. Sawyerr in All The Fighting Parts. I read a variety of verse novels, graphic novels and historical non-fiction, along with lots of children’s books. Most of the books I read this month were inspired by encounters with my bookshelf and Libby. However, I am still reading a few from my March reading list that I hope to finish in April.
What I Read
- Safe Passage by G. Neri and illustrated by David Brame: Awesome graphic novel. My kids and I fought over who could read it first. A tense journey through Southside Chicago when three kids venture off the Safe Passage route on the way to school. Young Readers Will Devour the Fast-Paced Safe Passage by G. Neri
- Louder Than Hunger by John Schu: A touching and heartbreaking verse novel about mental health and illness. It follows a young man’s journey as he battles anorexia and must complete a residential treatment program.
- The Afro-Indigenous History of the United States by Kyle T. Mays: I love this historian’s voice. It is refreshing, real and modern. I learned a lot about the connections between African American and Indigenous communities.
- The Making of Biblical Womanhood by Beth Allison Barr: I found her points extremely intriguing and the historical citations make me want to read more of her work. It’s interesting to look at the Bible from a historical context and perspective.
- All the Fighting Parts by Hannah Sawyerr: One of my favorite books of the year. The author captures the main character’s voice so well in both words and narration. I love it when poets read their own work!
