Next Steps with Academic Conversations: New Ideas for Improving Learning Through Classroom Talk by Jeff Zwiers
5.0
A great resource for teachers who want their students doing more of the talking and thinking.
Die with Zero: Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life by
5.0
Audiobook review. I love this concept of using your money while you’re alive - doing the things you want to do, making memories with your kids, giving to charities now rather than later, and giving to your kids when they are younger and more likely to need it. Highly recommended (and I heard about it through the YNAB YouTube).
Our Moon: How Earth's Celestial Companion Transformed the Planet, Guided Evolution, and Made Us Who We Are by Rebecca Boyle
4.0
Audiobook review. This was a fascinating book and I learned so many interesting things. Listening was probably not the best medium, as it is dense and I surely missed a bunch of things, but I still enjoyed it.
We Were the Universe by Kimberly King Parsons
4.0
Audiobook review. Just another book I loved. It’s such a great story about family and friends and sisters. My kind of book.
Colored Television by Danzy Senna

Audiobook review. I enjoyed this book. Its funny and awkward and cringey in the most pointed ways.
High School Mathematics Reimagined, Revitalized, and Relevant by National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
5.0
This is a short book, so a quick 3 night read. As a math educator, I hope this book sparks anew conversations about how we do high school math and how we could do it for everyone. I love the ideas of identity and tinkering and cross-cutting in this book.
Lies and Weddings by Kevin Kwan
3.0
Audiobook review. This took me a while to get into. I had to keep playing the beginning chapters over and over to follow the plot (non-American accented narrators are not always easy for me to follow). It did enjoy it once I could follow the plot and track the characters, but it felt a bit forced.
One in a Millennial: On Friendship, Feelings, Fangirls, and Fitting In by Kate Kennedy
3.0
Audiobook book. I enjoyed this book, as someone who considers herself a millennial. I loved reminiscing with the author about all the wacky games and shows and toys marketed to young girls in the 90’s. It was wild! And she had some explicit TS references, but also some deep cuts that I appreciated. IFKYK.
A Novel Love Story by Ashley Poston
3.0
Audiobook review. I enjoyed this book and the premise was fun. The cheesiness was appropriate for what the author set out to do. All around, enjoyable.
The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters
3.0
Audiobook review. I enjoyed this book, mostly about what family means and honesty in families. It was sad but also heartwarming.
