          What are you reading?

          When Breath Becomes Air—was coincidentally halfway through this audiobook and thinking “Yup, this is good, but heavy” when we got DD9’s diabetes diagnosis and dropped it like a hot potato. Alllllllmost ready to pick it up again now but not quite.

          With kids: The Warden’s Daughter—also audiobook, really good so far but slightly annoying narrator. Probably even better as a print book.

          Recently finished The Kitchen House based on recs in this thread and really liked it, so thanks.

            I’ve never heard of Anna Hibiscus! We are on the 2nd Penderwicks book and my kids adore them. They were delighted with Anne of Green Gables too.

              [MENTION=821]Auspicious[/MENTION] When Breath Becomes Air has been recommended to me by so many people, yet I haven`t gotten around to reading it. Worth your time? I should probably just check it out at the library and give it a go.

                Oh my gosh, Anna Hisbiscus is SO good. And naturally opens so many great conversations for right now (main narrator is a biracial child living in Africa - Mom is Canadian, Dad is African. African country not specified but presumed to be Nigeria bc author is Nigerian). It’s SO good. For example, we talked about how in America, Anna would be described as black but in Africa, they’d think of her as lighter skinned or mixed or depending on the culture, people might even describe her as white (this sometimes happened in Kenya when we lived there). A great opportunity to talk about your own perspective influencing how you might see someone else. And that’s one example in hundreds. Cannot recommend highly enough.

                  Anna Hibiscus is a series too. We had a great time with it last year. [MENTION=1315]TulipsAndSunscreen[/MENTION]

                        This book was just recommended to me last week by a friend. It’s on my list. What do you think so far?

                        I just recently finished Small Great Things by Jodi Piccoult and The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas which I loved. Currently reading Happiness by Heather Harpham for book club.

                          I’m working my way through a top 50 books of 2018 list from a Seattle newspaper. I’m interested in checking out Obama’s list of what he read this past year.
