Whether they should work after becoming a mother? Whether they should be hired? Whether they should be paid as much as their male counterparts? You can literally feel the anguish that women suffer because they are treated differently than men. ![]() ![]() The real scenario about gender discrimination in Korea is written with so much brevity. This book is so entirely fierce in portraying an important message to the world. Hi Readers! November has been great so far because I have already read 3 books, of which I REALLY LOVED 2 books!

I read the most fascinating novel Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-joo. ![]() Norwegian wood book barnes and noble7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() Murakami captures the heartbeat of his generation and draws the reader in so completely you mourn when the story is done."

Fans of the first book with Parker, Parker Looks Up, will notice the pivotal moment when she looks up at posters of famous African American dancers, and realizes that she can be a great dancer too. ![]() ![]() It’s also nice that there are only friendly, positive vibes at ballet class. The digital art is animation-like, and there are lots of pinks and purples to channel the ballet theme. The serious and loving sides of this little dancer are realistic and relatable. The two girl enter the stage together, channeling happy ‘dance party’ energy: “letting their outsides celebrate the way they were feeling on their insides.” At just the right moment, Parker’s little sister shouts out “Dance party!” from the audience, and Parker knows how to help Mira. ![]() But on the night of the recital, Mira gets super nervous. When the new girl in her ballet class, Mira, gets the recital solo, Parker isn’t jealous – she’s more in awe. Six year old Parker loves ballet, as well as dancing with her little brother and sister at home. What did you like about the book? This cheerful picture book celebrates dancing from the heart. Rating: 1-5 (5 is an excellent or a Starred review) 3.5 ![]() Hex hall book 27/5/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() When students start being murdered, Sophie suspects there's a plot surfacing to kill off Prodigium, but when no one believes her (as you might expect), she decides to do something about it and solve the problem on her own. I also found myself a little surprised at how mystery-oriented the book was, but this wasn't a bad thing. Hmm, maybe Hawkins went to Hex Hall herself. ![]() I don't know how Hawkins did it, but she captured the spirit of an intelligent, funny, and realistic 16-year-old inside this book. Sophie, the main character, is likable, flawed, and logical: When she develops a small crush on a guy at school, she doesn't fall head over heels for him, but the feelings grow over time in a way that's so natural I found myself reminiscing about my own time as a 16-year-old. This is a strong debut to a series, with realistically developed characters and non-contrived subplots. Unfortunately, they'll be missing a wonderful read if they do!

However, I highly recommend reading Book 1 as it is just so damn good! We return once again to the alternate history of Terre D’Ange (France) and the surrounding lands. ![]() Note: It is possible to read this book as a stand alone as relevant events from Book 1 are reflected upon in enough detail for a reader of Book 2 to grasp the point.

The hands of the gods weigh heavily upon Phèdre's brow, and they are not finished with her. She survived, and lived to have others tell her story, and if they embellished the tale with fabric of mythical splendor, they weren't far off the mark. When she stumbled upon a plot that threatened the very foundations of her homeland, she gave up almost everything she held dear to save it. He trained Phèdre in the courtly arts and the talents of the bedchamber-and, above all, the ability to observe, remember, and analyze.

Although the current evidence based fad has turned into a debate about test scores, this book is about using evidence to build and defend a model of teaching and learning. A major message is that what works best for students is similar to what works best for teachers - an attention to setting challenging learning intentions, being clear about what success means, and an attention to learning strategies for developing conceptual understanding about what teachers and students know and understand. A model of teaching and learning is developed based on the notion of visible teaching and visible learning. ![]() Areas covered include the influence of the student, home, school, curricula, teacher, and teaching strategies. The research involves many millions of students and represents the largest ever evidence based research into what actually works in schools to improve learning. It builds a story about the power of teachers, feedback, and a model of learning and understanding.
