Hey, it’s the official release day for Seeing Like a Supply Chain! And of course I’m swamped with grading and lesson-planning, but maybe I can say a little about the book and the process of researching it. yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

Oh, I forgot one! Before I joined Bluesky, I knew Nnedi Okorafor @nnedi.bsky.social as an author of books for adults.
But I didn’t know until I followed her that she also writes for young people!
Just bought YA fantasy AKATA WITCHA for one of my nieces.

Should've tagged author @brianjoneseducator.bsky.social when I highlighted this entry in my #SkyBuys.
Why does this count as a #SkyBuy, when I picked up at as a freebie at the ALA conference?
Because it was languishing in the TBR pile until I saw @haymarketbooks.org post about it, and then I bought a copy for a gift!

And there is a powerful story behind it:

Next up: Ways of Seeing After Dark, a book that is very intentionally in conversation with the famous Ways of Seeing by John Berger.
The new one is by Kyle Parry, @kyleparry.bsky.social. www.upress.umn.edu/978151792214...

More #SkyBuys. I had read these books in e-book, but found out from @aribaranwrites.bsky.social that they were being released in pbk. Snatched up Game Misconduct and Home Ice Advantage immediately.
