Meet Me at the Museum - Anne Youngson

Tina Hopgood lives on a farm in England with her family and strikes up an email correspondence with Professor Anders Larsen in Denmark. The two exchange letters, then emails that touch on a plethora of important topics beyond history and societal changes, to include their insights on families, personal growth and dreams.

 

Similar in style to 84 Charing Cross Road, Meet Me at the Museum's narrative is comprised of letters between the two characters. The conversation springboards from Hopgood's desire to visit the Tollund Man in Denmark, and blossoms into a beautiful conversation about culture, history and family values, while their relationship flowers into a a nurturing friendship that helps one another through difficult times.


A lovely, heartwarming short novel that will delight lovers of books, writing and reading letters.

 

According to Wikipeia, the Tollund Man is: a naturally mummified corpse of a man who lived during the 4th century BCE, during the period characterised in Scandinavia as the Pre-Roman Iron Age. He was found in 1950, preserved as a bog body, on the Jutland peninsula, in Denmark.

Frog & Toad
Frog and Toad Are Friends - Arnold Lobel

Frog and Toad are the best of friends! They are clever, silly, and funny. This is an easy read for younger students. This book is at a first grade reading level in my opinion, but Fountas & Pinnell classify it as a K which is a level second-grade level. 

After reading this book, I think it would be a fun idea to teach students facts about frogs and toads! There are all kinds of crazy facts about amphibians. For instance, did you know, touching frogs or toads won't actually give you warts?! That's just a myth!

My First SPN RPF That Isn't J2 (and it worked perfectly)
Reconciling Hollywood - qthelights

It's strange, really, how I felt the chemistry between Jensen and Misha and it felt real and so so good, but I have yet to read a Destiel fic that doesn't bore me to tears. I like Dean/Cas' chemistry on screen and they make a good couple, you know, theoretically, but in practice (or fic) thet read so bland. So boring. 

 

This story felt nothing like Destiel at all and that was a big plus for it. :D Also non-AU RPF, brings me back to the good old days when I was reading QAF RPS. 

 

I apologise for all the abbreviations, really, I do. (Sorry.)
