Haiku Review

 My kids know I love haikus. I like how it forces you to play with words, rearrange, come up with alternatives, figure out how to say the most you can within constraints.  So in that light I think we will some up ABMs response with the Haiku Review:

Heart lifts to talk books

Where women push boundaries 

Imposed by others

 I suppose I will also include the necessaries. Furia for the win...but not unanimous. Fantasy is a hard read for some of our teachers though we acknowledge many students love it. The Gilded Ones has many ultra violent sections that make some teachers hesitant to lend it out. Furia simply showed us a unique setting and what sealed the deal, even more importantly, was a unique character choice supporting this classic t-shirt quote: Feminism: the Radical Notion that Women Should have the Same Social, Economic & Political Rights as Men
