Book Review(Book Club) Hidden Figures By Margot Lee Shetterly

Post by: Jessica Book Club Book Title: Hidden Figures By: Margot Lee Shetterly Cover: The cover is fine. I don’t love it, don’t hate it. It’s a bit plain with just the photo on it. I think the photo could’ve been bigger and the colors a bit more interesting. That said, I hate that there is a movie cover! This book is nothing like the movie and should not be advertised as such. It’s a book and…

Hidden Figures

In honour of Black History Month, I'm starting to write book reviews about some of the nonfiction I'm reading

December 2023 wrapup

According to thestorygraph, December was my worst month in terms of ratings.... oops. It might be because I didn't pick them all - I'm doing a project at work where my students can read whatever they want and I'll read it too and talk about it with them, and our reading tastes just don't align super well.... My favorite reads in December where definitely ones I picked myself!

not pictured: King of Wrath by Ana Huang

favorites of the month: Stay Another Day by Juno Dawson, The Madman's Gallery by Edward Brooke-Hitching

nonfiction of the month (3): Foxes Unearthed by Lucy Jones, The Madman's Gallery by Edward Brooke-Hitching, Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly

classics (1): Orlando by Virginia Woolf

poetry (1): Von drauß' vom Walde komm ich her... Die schönesten Weihnachtsgedichte' edited Mareike von Landsberg

graphic novel (0): I just noticed that I didn't read a graphic novel this month, oops....
