Mathematical Mindsets - Jo Boaler
It's for a college class, but I'm really enjoying it so far. It's about getting rid of the assumption that some brains are built for math and others aren't, instead adopting a growth mindset when teaching math to children that will empower them to learn much more than they ever thought they could.

I finished With You Always, wonderful book. Up next for me is Minding the Light by Suzanne Woods Fisher. It is the second book in her Nantucket Legacy trilogy.

I'm reading "The Blue Castle" by Lucy Maud Montgomery. It's one of my all-time favourites and I like to re-read it now and then.
Currently reading Engraved on the Heart by Tara Johnson. Very good so far.

I just read "Becoming Us" by Robin Jones Gunn. It was awesome! I highy recommend it.
Currently reading A Rebel Heart by Beth White. It is the first book in her Daughtry House trilogy. Very good so far.

That's an awesome book, Laurie! I loved it! Beth White is a fantastic author, in my humble opinion.
I finished A Rebel Heart, excellent book. Up next for me is Where the Fire Falls by Karen Barnett. It is the second book in her Vintage National Parks series/trilogy.

I started re-reading "Anne of Green Gables" by Lucy Maud Montgomery yesterday. It just never gets old! I love it so much.

I just read "Protective Measures" by Maggie K. Black. She's a solid author - I was pleasantly surprised by the mystery and how things worked out.
Currently reading Moments We Forget by Beth K. Vogt. It is the second book in her Thatcher Sisters series.

I've been meaning to read that one, Laurie, and haven't gotten around to it yet.
I'm almost done "The Littlest Target" by Maggie K. Black. It's been a great suspsenful read!

I enjoyed Moments We Forget, can't wait for the next book in the series. Yesterday I finished The Medallion by Cathy Gohlke. Very good. Very sad and intense at times due to the fact it takes place during WW2. I am now reading Flights of Fancy by Jen Turano. It is the first book in her American Heiresses series/trilogy. Very good so far. I needed something light with humor after the Cathy Gohlke book.Catspaw wrote:I've been meaning to read that one, Laurie, and haven't gotten around to it yet.

I'm starting "Rescuing His Secret Child" by Maggie K. Black. I wish the book didn't have such an overly dramatic title, but I expect the actual book to be good!
I finished Flights of Fancy, wonderful book, I highly recommend it. Up next for me is The King's Mercy by Lori Benton.

I'm about to start "Cold Case Secrets" by Maggie K. Black. It's her newest, and it's been perfect timing because I've been reading through her books and the new one came out just as I finished her other books.

Currently reading The Media Lab by Stewart Brand. Super old book, published in the late '80's, but I'm really enjoying it. Loads of incredibly smart people waxing eloquent about the potential of technologies that are now either common place or antiquated. It's nostalgic in a delightfully hopeful way.
That sounds like an interesting read!
I'm just starting "Cold Case Secrets" by Maggie K. Black. It's going to wrap up a mystery with hints in the last three books, so I'm really looking forward to that!
