I just borrowed Quest from the library and will be featuring it soon. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031142435142384571.post-67384132769496382472014-09-30T12:15:04.057-07:002014-09-30T12:15:04.057-07:00Interesting that you are reading/listening to Out ...Interesting that you are reading/listening to Out of the Dust and Brown Girl Dreaming together. Did the poetry translate well to listening?

It's a book I love, and usually my college students like it too. I am almost finished with Brown Girl Dreaming too--only I don't want to finish, so I've set it aside to read other books. Trying to savor it a bit longer!Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031142435142384571.post-10102014494453048862014-09-29T07:17:48.499-07:002014-09-29T07:17:48.499-07:00Quest is on its way to me.
