“The library is a gathering pool of narratives and of the people who come to find them. It is where we can glimpse immortality; in the library, we can live forever,” Susan Orlean. An excellent book for any bibliophile, especially this one. Review up now on Lit Lens! (Link in bio) #thelibrarybook #susanorlean #nonfictionbooks #bookstagram #books #libraries

Well, she’s done it again. “Shout” is a deeply personal narrative (told in verse). But it also captured the American zeitgeist, the anger, pain, and confusion of identifying what’s wrong with the way we look at things like consent and rape and why we need to speak, no, shout about it. That way maybe, just maybe, the next generation doesn’t have to go through the same things. Laurie Halse Anderson has been incredibly influential in my writing (and reading) career. She’s from my hometown and when I was 11 I was lucky enough to win an essay contest and spend an entire afternoon with her. At that time I had no idea that she would go on to write some of my favorite YA books that sometimes hit way too close to home for me. She probably doesn’t remember the nervous 11-year-old who was just over the moon to be able to spend the afternoon with a real author. But she had a major impact on my career and mental health. Thank you @halseanderson

“You have plenty of courage, I am sure,” answered Oz. “Ally you need is confidence in yourself. There is no living thing that is not afraid when it faces danger. The true courage is in facing danger when you are afraid, and that kind of courage you have in plenty.” L. Frank Baum In honor of the movie’s 80th anniversary, we took a look at the book that started it all. Follow the yellow brick road with us on Lit Lens!
