If you enjoyed The Hate U Give, be sure to check out the prequel, CONCRETE ROSE. It comes out January 12th and it's about Starr's dad, Maverick, when he was 17 😊

Just finished The Hate U Give! Find your voice! #SLIS5532 #SLIS55322 UHCL_SLIS

Getting ready to read Free Lunch by Rex Ogle... the summary makes it sound like it will be a tear-jerker! UHCL_SLIS #SLIS5532 #SLIS55327

Finished week 1 at the midnight hour. This is what happens when you sign up for 3 classes, while still at work, while moving to a new campus, during the last two weeks of public school. On the plus got to reread Kaguyasama: Love is war ❤️. 😬 #SLIS55321 #stress

This week I read “The Hate U Give” by Angie Thomas. Such a powerful and relevant story. UHCL_SLIS #SLIS55322

Read The Hate U Give for #SLIS55322 and got to have an awesome discussion with @WhatsUpMrsT and Jenny Winkler. Miss these people moments.

@WhatsUpMrsT I really struggled with this one as well. J could say I personally didn’t like it but can’t say it doesn’t have a great plot and real take you through the grief process closer than anyone wants to be.

Excited to read after hearing author’s response about book being challenged over sexual situations-oral sex. Wow, censors missed the whole point of the book. Event only serves to show significance of MC & titular character’s relationship. #SLIS55323 #bannedbooks

Finished The Promise never land, onto Two boys kissing. What a genre jump ! UHCL_SLIS #slis553324

Just read the Promised Neverland & needed something lighter. It’s still a #graphicnovel though. #SLIS55324

Just read Two Boys Kissing. An interesting perspective seen through the eyes of gay men who died from AIDS and how they see boys of today navigating the same situations they once faced, and how different (but also sometimes the same) the world is now. #SLIS55325 UHCL_SLIS

This week our book is Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan for my YA Literature class, wow I was shocked! This book is great to spread acceptance awareness. My heart broke for Cooper💔UHCL_SLIS #SLIS55325

This. Max’s life. His parents. This is how it should be. No one should have to come out. #inclusionmatters #SLIS55325 #twoboyskissing

This week I read Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children! Let me just say it has a little of everything! Great read 💕 UHCL_SLIS #SLIS55326

Making Prezi for class. Making Prezi for class. Ah i think I’ll reread Miss Peregrine’s for the fifth time instead. Ok finish making Prezi for class. #slis55326

Free lunch was a great book. It left me really thinking about the kiddos that need more and support from school staff. #SLIS55327 UHCL_SLIS

Read Free Lunch by Rex Ogle. I think everyone should read this. There are so many kids that are in his position. #slis55327

Wow! Can’t believe we finished Summer 2021. Feels so good to not have to turn in anything. #SLIS55328
