https://padlet.com/tfoor/pn5mgd35zj4qb4s Summer is almost here! Here are a few books that I hope to tackle before the start of the 2021-22 school year. I already have personal copies of each of these, so feel free to reserve them from the IMC, IndyPL or support independent bookstores via Bookshop.org! en-us 2021-05-09 21:51:01 UTC 2025-10-02 22:52:41 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f60e.png tfoor https://padlet.com/tfoor/pn5mgd35zj4qb4s/wish/1507026323 BBC cooking competition?

Many of our students love BLM activism reads, so I want to read this one to see the appeal.

"Ariadne" was just released so I can't wait to read and share with students who also love mythology!

It's a combination of the work of Angie Thomas and Tommy Orange... Can't wait to plug in the audiobook as I drive around this summer!

Her latest book is an Edgar Allan Poe retelling that supposedly rivals Game of Thrones level drama.
