Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson

Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I listened to this book (thank you to my friend, Michelle Romash and Jean Norman) flawlessly narrated by Robin Miles. This is a must read but a difficult read. Isabel Wilkerson's research was thorough, she also used narratives in history, and the dates and data were so important too. Wilkerson discusses race and caste (in the United States, Germany and India) and it's effects throughout history. It is honest and very painful. Highly recommended.

The Selection by Kiera Cass

The Selection by Kiera Cass
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So many of my students raved about this book, I can't believe it took me so long to read/listen to this book. I LOVED IT! Now I can't wait to listen to the 2dn book in the series. How would you feel if you were America Singer, one of a bevy of young women who may be chosen by Prince Maxon to be his wife and queen? Rather than being happy, America is conflicted because she is in love (secretly) with Maxon who is a member of a lower cast. With lots of drama, action, and heart pounding romance, you will fall in love with America, her world, and the contest known as The Selection.
