Over the past few weeks, I have been giving my students multiple exhortations to watch my FLIP videos. They are incredibly important videos that will help them be successful in my class!

Often, I feel very desultory when I am on Zoom with my students and they don't turn their cameras on. I would love to see their beautiful faces every day on Zoom; maybe, now that I've written this on the Padlet example they will turn their cameras on for me every day!

I am really excited to read The Empirium Trilogy this year! I have already read Furyborn (which I love), and the third book just came out a few weeks ago. I am excited to reread the first book to get ready to read the 2nd and 3rd!

This is another fantasy series that I am so excited to read. I have read the first two books, and the third book came out this summer. I am excited to see if this series will continue after the third book!

I am a BIG fan of mystery books, and this series is brand NEW to me this year. Mrs. Ellis talked about these books at the very beginning of the school year, and I immediately wanted to read them (especially since they are a new series on Netflix). I have been waiting to get these books at my local library, so hopefully, I will get them soon so I can read them!

Majesty by Katherine McGee - Window and Mirror!

# data[].attributes.body
This book was definitely a window and a mirror for me as a reader. The major way Majesty was a window was because it introduced me to the world of royalty, court politics, and scandal. (1) As I am not royalty (nor will I probably ever be), I do not understand the ways in which my characters were living. However, I did see elements of a mirror in this book, especially when it came to relationships. (2)Two of my characters fell in love in this story; I can understand their feelings since I have experienced something very similar. (3)My characters also experienced extreme loss and trauma in the book because of the loss of a loved one; this was a great mirror moment for me because I was able to have empathy for my characters who were trying to live through and understand their own grief.

(1) I felt really bad for Beatrice throughout this whole novel. She really wants to be a great Queen of America, but so many people are getting in her way.
(2) Sam's intentions with Marshall were all wrong from the beginning, but I really understood why she felt the need to be honest at the end of the book. That was absolutely the right choice for her.
(3)Beatrice, Jeff, and Sam all suffer a major loss at the beginning of the book. This was the most devastating part for me as a reader too as we learn how they are trying to navigate grief while being in the public eye as royals.
