My Ideal Bookshelf by Xuchilt Perez https://padlet.com/xp29/q5gnx0xftf5v Icon Ideal Bookshelf The books that we choose to keep --let alone read-- can say a lot about who we are and how we see ourselves. In MY IDEAL BOOKSHELF, dozens of leading cultural figures share the books that matter to them most; books that define their dreams and ambitions and in many cases helped them find their way in the world. Make a list of 7-10 books that you can’t live without; your list can include books from your childhood, books you recently read or any book that means something to you. Be sure to write your full name at the top of your post, number you list and include authors’ names with your titles! To add a post, double click on the page and type your title (Full Name) and list your books. en-us 2018-01-31 16:09:58 UTC 2024-10-12 05:19:01 UTC hello@padlet.com Vinette Carole vcarole17 https://padlet.com/xp29/q5gnx0xftf5v/wish/226851760
