Here’s what I’ve been reading lately for my 2013 Book Challenge…
13. The Folded Earth by Anuradha Roy. Lovely prose that made me want to head for the Himalayas immediately.
14. The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. Thought-provoking and actionable! Yay!
15. Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell. One of the best YA novels I’ve read in a long, long time.
16. Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg. Interesting, but not quite as groundbreaking as it was hyped up to be.

ookay I know I’ve posted it before but I really, really recommend this video and I don’t recommend a lot of videos! I also reference this video like once a month so you might as well know what I’m talking about
“What this demonstrates, I think, is how impressionable and vulnerable we are in the face of a story, particularly as children.”
Chimamanda Adichi: The Danger of a Single Story
Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice — and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding.
