Almost Home from Beth
Insight into homelessness
House of Night Series 1 from Sierra
This series gave me hope that I could create a real life world for myself and reality full of love, respect, my own choices, and my own spiritual path. 🙂 it also had a lot of cats.
Beverly Cleary from Phil
It’s really hard to pin down a favorite book offhand. I would have to say that thanks to Bookshare I’ve been given more access to books than I’ve ever had before! I’ve been able to read new books that I’ve always wanted to read. I’ve read books that I read and enjoyed as a child, […]
Hard News from Cissy
I am an incurable news junkie and I lived through the scandal portrayed in this book. Learning about how a journalist at a renowned paper could destroy his career and his paper’s credibility shook me to my core. I read and listen to news stories much more critically after reading Hard news.
The Body: A Guide for Occupants from Charlie
It means that I can learn about human anatomy and physiology in a scientific/humorous manner. After all, he does write funny books.
The Ten Best Days of My Life from Gail
I have read so many wonderful books thanks to Bookshare. One of my favorites is “The ten best days of my life” which I read years ago, twice, years apart. It seems like “just a made up story”, but it’s one that gives food for thought. It wasn’t heavy but did leave me thinking. I […]
Lyddie from Natalie
It was one of the first books I ever read more than once. And because of my anxiety, it was one of the only books I actually finished reading as a child in an abusive home. I will never forget how it sparked my imagination of how the 19th and early 20th centuries would have […]
The Wednesday Surprise from Sandra
As an avid reader and a lover of books, I was especially impressed with this book because of its message. This is a children’s book of only 32 pages. It’s a quick, easy read – great for a read aloud – and it promotes reading!
One and Only Ivan from Donna
I could relate to the book because I got to actually visit Ivan at the Atlanta zoo. I never realized the back story and now love sharing it with my students. Plus, I am from WA and that is where the story takes place! For all animal lovers — it’s a must!
Flowers for Algernon from Lenore
I was in junior high when I read this book. It show me that people could be really mean to people.
