Books For When Anxiety Makes It Hard To Concentrate

The Book of Delights by Ross Gay This book may be just what a lot of us need right now: it’s a collection of short lyric essays, written during a turbulent time in Ross Gay’s life, which stops and notices “ordinary wonders”. It celebrates the small things that make up life without shying away from tough issues. The shortest essays are a paragraph long, and the longest are only five pages....

Books Helped Me Figure Out How My Child Learns And In The Process Helped Me Parent

As he’s gotten older (he’ll be 6 soon), parenting books have gotten a little better — or maybe it’s just the ones I’ve chosen to read, having honed my BS meter fairly well by now. Now the books are more about the cognitive aspects of children, like the books by Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson — The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline, for example; or ones like How Children Learn by John Holt and Free to Learn by Peter Gray....

Books That Feature A Tornado Or Storm Chasing

Aside from frequent tornado drills throughout school years, as well as countless hours in basements and windowless hallways, one of the most memorable tornado-related experiences I had in elementary school was having Night of the Twisters read aloud to my third grade class. The detail that sticks out the most was seeking shelter in the bathroom and how the drain made a very specific sound when the tornados hit. I think it was that book, as well as the ever-present fear that that sort of situation could be part of my life — and has been, as I have been through more than one tornado in my time — that’s always made tornado stories so appealing to me....

Books To Paint By The Audiobooks Of A Chicago Painter

Yet Louise is not just a painter; she is also a writer, a reader, and a thinker. Born in Louisiana, Louise often grapples with the ways that race, gender, slavery have shaped her identity as an American. Talking with her, she was unafraid to acknowledge that she, the decedent of white southerners, benefited from slavery and the privilege of history many other Americans have. When she is in the studio, Louise likes to delve into these questions and quench her curiosity by listening to audiobooks....

Changing Book Ratings I Tried To Ignore That Review But It Makes Some Really Good Points

While it is pretty understandable that writers can see bad reviews as a personal attack – less acceptable, perhaps, to act on it, as liking things is so particular to each person’s taste – it is also true that the relationships we create with the books we read may get us a bit inflamed when someone starts dissing on one of our favourites. But have you ever had a review actually change your mind?...

Classic Comics For A Winter S Night

One More for Christmas is an uplifting tale following businesswoman Gail as she summons her estranged family to spend a snowbound Christmas together in Scotland. Because these are all older comics, their creative teams are largely (though not quite entirely) comprised of white men. So at the end of the article, I’ve included a modern classic for you to enjoy, this winter and always. And so, with apologies to Gordon Lightfoot for butchering his song title, let’s snuggle up with some real cool comics!...

Deconstructing Little House On The Prairie

I’d never read Laura Ingalls Wilder, so I didn’t understand the nostalgia for Little House when people would talk about it. What I did note is that many times in response to various book lists, it was recommended to either switch out Little House for The Birchbark House, by Louise Erdrich, or read the books concurrently. I’d never read that book either, so I decided to read both, to deconstruct — maybe decolonize is the better word?...

Explore Icelandic Literary Culture

Historically, not many people are cut out for a life of continually battling the strongest forces mother earth can muster. Even now, only about 350,000 people live there. This despite being the nation with the longest continually recorded history, with Viking settlement accounts beginning in 874. The long, insular history transformed Iceland into one of the most literary countries in the world. In 2005 UNESCO added Reykjavík to the Creative Cities Network for its dedication to literature....

Explore These Totally Rad 80S And 90S Kids Book Series

Everyone’s talking about the new BSC series on Netflix, and I’d bet that a lot of us are digging the throwback to our simpler, neon-tinted childhoods. If you are in your 30s, you definitely remember aspects of being a kid in the ’80s and ’90s. What a time it was! We wore baggy pants and tie dye, drank Snapple Elements and Hi-C, took out library books with stamped due dates, and sat through TV commercials....
