Okay my predictions are solidified.. so what’s next ??

I feel like I’ve known what’s gonna go down since 30% through so now I’m just waiting to see how long the book gets there

Still so good

Loved the recognition of BSL and learned so much about how segregation also affected deaf academics

Kinda getting into it

“In education, like everything in America, money ruled the day, and Deaf education had been hyperstratified by the rise of the cochlear implant. Wealthier kids whose parents could pay out-of-pocket for implant surgery and rehabilitative therapies often found success in the main-stream; kids whose families couldn't pay stayed deaf.”

Just met a character with my name!!! This never happens!!!

“It wasn’t until later he learned that ASL had likely been withheld intentionally, an attempt to motivate speech. Sign Language had been so thoroughly stigmatized that in trying to avoid it parents had unknowingly opted for a modern version of institutionalization, locking their children away in their own minds.”

Absolutely amazing so far. Anyone who knows a deaf person should read this!! It would be an AMAZING book club book with all of the instructional ASL blurbs and content

Loving it

So far Bodhi’s chapter has me the most emotional

Had to stop and read the threshing chapters in fourth wing 🤭

Only have 2 days left of this hold 🙃

Libby was actually working today 🙄

THE ARTWORK!?!?!!!!! 😭😍🤮🤩🥺🤯

Accidentally reserved at the library, but I read the first chapter and I’m already so obsessed so my other books will have to wait

Started feeling like fall so bring on the supernatural reads!

My Libby isn’t working again 😡 was hoping I could put a big dent in this today

For some reason this is so easy for me to tune out and think about other things 😗

1 hour to go!
