I read the second Discworld Witches story arc book as a group read for Annemieke's TURTLE RECALL DISCWORLD READING CHALLENGE. It had too many boring bits in it and took too long to get going. This was a letdown after loving the first Witches book.

This was my Newbery book for this month and it was profoundly disappointing. The author doesn't appear to be Native American, but writes from a Native American viewpoint saying Native Americans prefer to be called "Indians" because it makes them sound more "earthy"; and there were some extremely off-base cultural elements. There was a budding romance which I felt was too physical for someone just turned thirteen. It normalized it which I don't think is appropriate. The MC's grandfather also encouraged her to drive on public roads, and when she got caught by the police there were no consequences. She also had thoughts of violently murdering people who made her angry, including friends, most of the time by lynching them and that was made to seem normal, too. I originally chose it because April is Diversity Month.

Published 1954 - Own PB and Kindle
This was for my Year of Classics personal reading challenge. I also buddy read it with my son. My re-read of The Hobbit in 2018 didn't go so well, but I am happy to say I still loved Fellowship! However, Baz was bored. There wasn't enough action for him and he thought it was too easy of a read. He wants me to read The Two Towers first before he decides if he wants to read it. I will probably start it in May.
