This book is simply beautiful. I loved how it wove together the three women's tales. Normally lit fic and magical realism take awhile to really pull me in but I was immediately invested in this one.

pretty good read and I adore Dusty. I did think some of the reasons to not be together were flimsy.

I adored this. I love how it was about birds but even more about what we can learn from them and how they can affect our activism. this book has me so inspired and I'm full of ideas to implement with my girl scout troop.

A very nice little introduction into the history of tuberculosis and where we stand today in the fight against it. I honestly wish this book were longer but John Green does a great job delivering the information in a thought provoking and accessible way.
