We have using pre-reading skills (recognizing patterns, lines and shapes) to help us identify the leaves we’re finding around the school. One way is to look at the points on different types of maple leaves. LS was excited to share what he noticed about this leaf. #TreeInquiry #ReadTheWorld

I'm on a slow and steady mission to read books from diverse countries in the world.

Here's the mega thread where I'll post book review of each book as I read them.

Inspiration of thread taken from

Happy adventures bookworms!

47. The Slynx by Tatyana Tolstaya, translated by Jamey Gambrell

If you die, well, that’s it-you're dead. You're gone. But if the Slynx spoils you-you have to go on living with it.

Loved this. Strange, unique, captivating.
Went in blind & enjoyed the wild ride.

Working through my #ReadTheWorld list to find recommendations for #BannedBookWeek

This one was banned in Vietnam, partly because it’s account of the 1950s land reforms were… not flattering.
05. VIETNAM

Paradise of the Blind by Dương Thu Hương, translated by Phan Huy Đường & Nina McPherson

Another big, messy family saga.

A fascinating insight into the struggles of rural life in Vietnam from the 50s to the 70s.

A gem I wouldn't have picked up without the #ReadTheWorld challenge.

I've struggled with finding books from the Pacific Islands and plan to revisit them once I finish the quest.
A fascinating book of mostly academic thoughts with some poetry. I have learnt so much.

Morning all.

This week I'm reading You Know the Sun by Falzon (tr. Gatt) from @foundryeditions.bsky.social - this will tick Malta off my #ReadTheWorld project.

Non fiction is Meera Syal's Vigilauntie.
Plus of course anything new and shiny that catches my eye!

Happy reading!
