A Long Walk To Water

Normally, I would say historical fiction is the. worst. I have given it a fair shot.... multiple times. This book however, is an exception. If you are a teacher of any grade from fourth on up, this is a must read for your students. I read this one in under 48 hours and was in love from the first page. This book follows the story of two children from Southern Sudan in two different time eras (one in the '90s and one in 2008-2009). Nya has to walk all day to fetch water for her family. Salva lives in his village until one day they are under attack. Then, he becomes a refugee and lives in camps for the rest of his childhood. I won't spoil anything else but, this one will be worth your time! 

Dark Matter

Happy Thursday! This week has worn on me something fierce! I have no idea why but, I am exhausted. Like, not-even-enough-energy-to-read exhausted! Trying to stay positive though, even with the hard week. My bullet journal is a life-saver. It's like yoga for my mind 😉 On the positive side of things, it's almost the weekend and my free weekend for March. Lots of relaxing family time!

On to the book.... This book was loaned to me by a coworker. She had bought it but, had not read it yet so, I had no idea what it was about when I started reading. A few chapters in I finally figured it out. It's about the Dark Matter theory that every choice you make, splits into a parellel universe where another you made the other choice. This leads to infinite parallel universes. I am not into this kind of stuff AT ALL. If someone described this book to me I would think uhmmm no buuuuuut, this has to be one of the BEST books I have ever read. I even recommended it to my husband who does not read at all. If you read one book this year, I would give this one a go!
