Finished reading: Bombshell by Sarah MacLean πŸ“š

Sarah MacLean is just so good. This is like… A 3.5 on the romance.io scale? The language is slightly (but only slightly) euphemistic; it’s pretty clear exactly what’s happening where.

Finished reading: Love, Come to Me by Lisa Kleypas πŸ“š

This has a steam rating of πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯.

A very early Kleypas. Be warned: the hero is a Confederate veteran. Apparently, he opposed slavery but fought for the Confederacy anyway.

Finished reading: Indigo by Beverly Jenkins πŸ“š

This is so good. I learned more about abolitionism from this romance novel in a more engaging way than any history class I’ve taken would be able to achieve. Highly recommend.

Finished reading: The Knowledge Gap by Natalie Wexler πŸ“š

Read this to prepare for collaborating with teachers at work who want support finding books to work into our literacy curriculum. It’s especially interesting as someone who started her teaching career in the era of No Child Left Behind.
