the books you’ve read since September 1. Readers who log at least 9 books will be automatically entered into a drawing for two chances to win a L.L. Bean Boat and Tote zip-top bag embroidered with the WPL logo. These coveted totes have been gently-used for our book club in a bag kits but have found new life as an exciting prize for our dedicated readers!
This week's featured booklists from Reader's Corner are Nordic Noir, featuring Scandinavian crime fiction at its best, and Murder-free Mysteries for those of you who enjoy lighter mystery reads.
Wow. Dr Kyl eagerly welcomes us into their world of gender creative parenting. This book isn't a "how to" - it's a memoir of their journey thus far as a parent. I chose to read this book because I want to help combat gender stereotypes and teach my own children about inclusivity. It was wonderful to read Kyl and Brent's thinking as they dove headfirst into the gender creative world. ~Amanda C.
This book covers world history including Europe, the Middle East, India, China, and Africa from the rise of Islam to the Renaissance. This book gives a lot of history on the Eastern Roman (or Byzantine) empire, which I knew nothing about. I’ve read this book several times and it’s always fascinating. ~ David B.
If you've read other financial literacy books, you're familiar with many of the talking points offered in this book. But, I also feel that Tiffany added some insight that I wasn't familiar with (i.e. the FIRE movement, building wealth, etc.). A great read re: achieving financial wholeness. ~ Mary T.
With the ever increasing need for clear communication, this book opened my eyes to how even the simplest changes can provide better digital communications. ~ Eric B.
