The Secret Horses of Briar Hill by Megan Sheperd

Hi everyone! Today's post is about a book I read over the summer called The Secret Horses of Briar Hill by Megan Sheperd. Wait! Don't get scared away because of the horses. I'm not a big horse fan, so if you're thinking something like, Horses? Give me a break! Time to close the tab... STOP. RIGHT. THERE. I thought so too at first, but a good friend recommended this book to me, and who am I to turn down a recommendation? I ended up really enjoying this book, and I read nearly the whole book the day I got it. I sat down on my front porch after my trip to the library, and I just couldn't put it down. So.... are you ready to hear what it's about? LET'S GO!!!!

The Secret Horses of Briar Hill takes place in England during World War II at Briar Hill Hospital, a home for sick children. The main character Emmaline, has a secret. She can see winged horses in the mirrors of Briar Hill. The winged horses bring color and joy into her life, even though she can only see them. Until...

Women in Sports: 50 Fearless Athletes Who Played to Win by Rachel Ignotofsky

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great summer! As you may or may not know, in the past, I wrote a post about one of my favorite books titled Women In Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World. Click here to view my post for Women in Science. The author of Women in Science, Rachel Ignotofsky, has recently come out with another book called Women in Sports: 50 Fearless Athletes Who Played to Win. I finished reading this book, and really enjoyed it, so I thought that I would go ahead and share it with you.

Women's History Month Recommendation

Happy National Women's Day everyone! I want to celebrate today by giving you all a recommendation for a great book, that goes along with the theme of influential women. The book is Women In Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World by Rachel Ignotofsky. This book is very inspiring and tells tales of amazing women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and their achievements. This book opened my eyes to many incredible women (most of whom, I admit, I had never heard of) who have made an impact on our world today! I would recommend this book to all of you, even if it were NOT Women's History Month. I enjoyed this book because it not only tells these women's stories through words, but illustrations and quotes, as well. 
Have a great day! And don't forget to celebrate!
