    36: Jacob Have I Loved

    In this episode of Reading the Newberys, we discuss the winner of the 1981 Newbery Medal Jacob Have I Loved by Katherine Paterson. Our discussion does get into some slightly mature themes (coming of age/sexual awakening), so use your own judgement if you are listening while little ears are present. We hope you enjoy this discussion of Katherine Paterson's second Newbery Medal winning book! (Age recommendation for this book: 13 and up)

Know it all!

Thats me, a ‘Know It All! But knowing these reviewers shows me that I do not know them at all. Loving the isights they have to offer and the humor. I can imagine them sitting in a coffee shop and talking about books. ( I don’t even know if they drink coffee.) May their friendship last forever and that Mandy finishes a book now and then. In this uptight world, take a moment to laugh and unwind with these friends and a good book.

What a fun way to celebrate the joy of reading! These 3 ladies make me laugh and yet challenge me to grow my reading repertoire with each of their episodes.
