I enjoy the TV show characters better, but I always find it interesting to read books that shows are based off of. This was a quick, fun book.

Review: The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


What an sbsolutely incredible life story! Parts are so hard to believe, you simply know they HAVE to be true!

I read this as a recommendation from a fellow teacher. We work at a rural school, with many students who live similar lives to the author's time in West Virginia. Homes with no electricity, water, or even floors. Homes with holes in the walls and floors. No bathrooms, no food, and often no supervision. These kids are often hard for teachers to understand and to motivate. After reading this book, I feel more motivated as a teacher to try harder.

The author's strength, bravery, and honesty is amazing and admirable.

I HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone-- but especially if you work with children in need.

Review: A Cotswold Killing by Rebecca Tope

A Cotswold Killing by Rebecca Tope

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Not bad. Parts of it I found unrealistic, and the main character was a bit whiny in parts, but overall a fun mystery that didn't require too much deep thought.

I listened to the audible version of this-- I liked the narrator a lot.
