Top Ten Tuesday: Books on Your Syllabus

Hello Poetteers,

 Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. The topic today is what books would be on the syllabus if you taught historical fiction. 









Which of these books have you read? What other historical fiction novels would be on your list? What class are you teaching? Link up so I can check out your posts! 

 Thank you,

 Fida

Excellent way to own this Top Ten Tuesday Topic. Mine is not so refined however, I came at it with short stories, which I do think is different.

My TTT which isn't actually a list and shh... I have 11 short stories on my not list today.

Cute graphics! I need to read The Book Thief! It's been sitting on my TBR pile for forever. I also really want to check out Out of the Easy. Great list!

Love Between Shades of Grey, I read it recently and it was amazing! Will probably read Out Of The Easy now, since Between Shades of Grey was so good. The Book Thief is wonderful, one of my favourite books ever. Code Name Verity is one I still need to read, I have it, but just haven't read it yet.

Love this list! Code Name Verity and The Book Thief have been on my list for ages, but the others look really interesting too. Adding Mornings in Jenin and Sarah's Key to my TBR :D

I read The Book Thief (too slow) and To Kill A Mockingbird. Not a big fan. I do need to read Code Name Verity and Kite Runner still. They're on the list.

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers,  I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human. It is a coming out journey, an exploration of sexuality, femininity, loving, and being loved. How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth. April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne  An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate. The Medicine That Burns by Molly S Hillery It is a raw declaration on what a life of trauma can look like after the dust settles and the poems have happy endings. It is an unflinching narrative on how hurt is cyclical, how recovery must be redefined repeatedly, and how shame can poison us in the worst ways. I See How You've Kept Me by Aisha Adams A debut poetry book that takes you through a journey of brokenness to reach complete healing. May The...

What's up Wednesday

Hello readers, What I'm Reading : I got and read two e-Arcs. 1. Behind the Stars by Leigh T Moore. I gave it 5 stars. The synopsis was left vague which left the story to be unexpected. 2. The Attic of Sand and Secrets by Medeia Sharif. I gave it 4 stars. I love the mystery. I love the diversity. Also, I finally... for the first time, got to read THRONE OF GLASS by Sarah J Maas!! I gave it 5 stars. You will find more in depth reviews on goodreads . What I'm Writing : I'm in that two week slump for NaNoWriMo. This weekend I was at 17k. It's been three days and I'm at 18k. Hopefully better days are coming. Lists are very helpfully. I recently learned one way to revise your novel is to write one line about each page you have. It's timely but you get to see what you character or plot point is missing. What Else : Got an award from Jessica at Lunatic Poet , thank you! I have to give seven facts and pass it on to some of my favorite bloggers. - I've been blogging f...
