Dream Ride: Tia Isa Wants a Car. Tia Isa Wants A Car. By Meg Medina/Illustrated by Claudio Muñoz. Level: Picture book/ages 5-up. About a year ago, having been newly appointed to ALA’s Amelia Bloomer Project. I was on the lookout for picture books with feminist themes. For ABP, it was relatively easier to find YA books that highlighted feminism. But finding picture books with significant. Reflect empowerment, but also be age-appropriate.

Dear Teen Me… | Masala Reader
https://masalareader.wordpress.com/2012/11/16/dear-teen-me
Dear Teen Me…. Eds E Kristin Anderson and Miranda Kenneally. Published by Zest Books (distr. by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt). Finished book kindly provided for review by publisher. Zest Books just published a terrific anthology of letters written by authors to their teen selves. The writers don’t hold back and many of their revelations are gruesomely honest, filled with heartbreak, longing, humor, but overall, hope for the future. Readers can also see more teen letters at the Dear Teen Me. I decided to wri...

It’s not like any other love: Eleanor & Park | Masala Reader
https://masalareader.wordpress.com/2012/10/22/its-not-like-any-other-love-eleanor-park
It’s not like any other love: Eleanor & Park. Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell. Forthcoming from St. Martin’s Press. Expected publication: March 2013. Previously published in the UK by Orion in April 2012. Digital copy for review kindly provided by the publisher. Eleanor’s bright red hair, and her off-beat fashion makes her the target of ridicule on her first day of school. On the surface, Eleanor reminded me of Andie Walsh (played by Molly Ringwald) in. But the nurses don’t use their R and R to ...

After Library School: October 2011
http://libschooladventures.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Work (in a library), life, and other musings in between. Friday, October 7, 2011. Well, if anyone was reading this before, I don't blame you for givingit up recently, since there hasn't been a post since April! Since then, I've put my house on the market, bought another house, moved (these three really happened due more to my husband's efforts than mine, especially the actual moving! Had a baby, bought a new car, and quit my job. It's been a busy summer. The Mostly True Story of Jack. I spent over half of.

After Library School: An unexpected POC Book: #4
http://libschooladventures.blogspot.com/2010/08/unexpected-poc-book-4.html
Work (in a library), life, and other musings in between. Monday, August 30, 2010. An unexpected POC Book: #4. My POC reading has not kept pace as it should, both due to having several "fun" books I couldn't wait to read, and getting my husband to give me a "serious" summer reading assignment, separate from the POC challenge. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. I thought this was an excellent new work from Riordan. I have always found Egyptian mythology more confusing than Greco-Roman mythology (and I read. Second R...

After Library School: POC Book #3: Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson
http://libschooladventures.blogspot.com/2010/05/poc-book-3-chains-by-laurie-halse.html
Work (in a library), life, and other musings in between. Friday, May 28, 2010. POC Book #3: Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson. Another book from my list that is not written by a person of color, although the protagonist is African American. Still, it was a great book and "easy" enough that I am ready to return to adult fiction (or nonfiction) for my next POC book. By Laurie Halse Anderson. My rating: 5 of 5 stars. View all my reviews. Congrats you won a book over at the POC Reading Challenge! Http:/ pocrea...
