Magnolia Wu Unfolds It All by Chanel Miller
Inclusion CBR17 Pie Chart Challenge Magnolia Wu Unfolds It All by Chanel Miller has been on the radar off and on for a while now. First by trying to read via an online reader (that went inactive actually fairly quickly) and then my second attempt through my local library (which was a success). It is a quick read for the adult (it would have been a few hours read if I just sat and read, but I took breaks in between) but an average few […]
Ritu Weds Chandni by Ameya Narvankar
Diversity The CBR17 Pie Chart Challenge Ritu Weds Chandni by Ameya Narvankar is currently available. However, I found an old online reader copy to read. I thought I had read it before, but it did not feel familiar to me. Therefore I think I just looked at it and “put it aside.” Thankfully I did find it again as it takes a couple of familiar themes but adds a modern take to them, and I was in the right mood for it as well, as […]

Sophie Shares the Stars by Heather Smith and Catherine Petit
Sophie Shares the Stars by Heather Smith and Catherine Petit is an interesting book due to the different layers it has. First, it is an adoption story. Sophie has lived with “”My Michael” since she was three. And this is why she calls him what she does and his mother “Our Julia.” But the second level is he is a “real” parent as he does the things all good parents do, takes care of her when she is sick, helps her clean up messes, and […]
