MY GOODREADS REVIEW

ADULT FANTASY

DISCWORLD SERIES

MOIST VON LIPWIG #3

HUMOR

Published November 2013 - Own Kindle Library

I LOVED THIS BOOK! It was my favorite of the three Moist stories, and is probably in my top three Discworld titles read so far. I read this as part of A Dance With Books' TURTLE RECALL reading challenge.

MY GOODREADS REVIEW

★★★★

MG/YA

STANDALONE

REALISTIC FICTION

1960s

NEWBERY AWARD

Published 1963 - Own Kindle Library

This was my Newbery book for November. It also counts towards my 2020 A Year of Classics personal reading challenge. Because it is an older Newbery book it was one of those hybrid mixes of MG/YA which used to be standard fare for what were called "Teen" titles when I was young; Middle Grade was called "Junior."

NONFICTION

NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURE

MENTAL HEALTH

Published March 2019 - Hoopla Borrow

This is my Nonfiction for this month, and also for November Native American History Month. I don't know how I feel about it yet. A lot of the mental health aspects are about her mother's struggles, and her mother is White, so if the book is supposed to be about Native American environmental (situational) depression I don't know how this supports her theme; unless it's to show anyone might become depressed in a reservation living environment? Then again she talks about the mental burden of Native American history, so I don't know how her mother's depression figures into that.

DUNE SERIES #2

SCIENCE FICTION

Published Own Physical and Kindle Library

This will count as a re-read (third time), for my 2020 A Year of Classics personal challenge, and for SciFi month. The ebook has a wonderful introduction by Herbert's son. It made me want to read the biography he wrote about his father.
