  1. Year of the Horse: The War That Saved My Life

    Year of the Horse: The War That Saved My Life

    Once again, I'm too impatient to wait for the actual year of the horse. In this episode, I'm reviewing Kimberly Brubaker Bradley's The War That Saved My Life & The War I Finally Won. These two middle-grade books are about a young disabled girl Ada, who at the start of WW2 is evacuated from London into the countryside. Away from her abusive and neglectful mom for the first time in her life she is finally able to truely live. And of course she makes best friends with a pony called Butter.

    The First State of Being

    Reading the most recent Newbery winner: Erin Entrada Kelly's The First State of Being. I am not reading this for noble reasons though- it was purely based on spite because I had an argument with my coworker about the importance of Newberries.
