I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai

Call Number: eBook

ISBN: 9780316280570

Publication Date: 2013

I don't want to be thought of as the "girl who was shot by the Taliban" but the "girl who fought for education." This is the cause to which I want to devote my life.
Malala Yousafzai, I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban

I'm currently reading the inspirational account from a very strong young woman. Here she recounts her early life and her passion for education. We get a taste of Pakistan's history and culture. We also read the first-hand account of the day she was shot, followed by her healing and hard-earned recovery. Since then, she has continued to speak out and meet with leaders to make positive changes in the world, especially for the education of girls.

Scrappy Little Nobody by Anna Kendrick, audio book

Scrappy Little Nobody by Anna Kendrick, audio book narrated by the author.

call number: Axis 360 e-audio book

ISBN 9781508213550

Kendrick is so funny, and having her read the memoir makes it ten times better. There are few times where she "confides" in the listener since we are now such good friends. She is right--I felt like I was her friend as she shares her experiences from being a pre-teen on Broadway, through adult years on movie sets and on award shows.

From publisher: The New York Times bestselling collection of humorous autobiographical essays by the Academy Award-nominated actress and star of Pitch Perfect.

The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George Call Number: F G293Lp 2015 ISBN: 9780553418798 Publication Date: 2016-03-22 Monsieur Perdu can prescribe the perfect book for a broken heart. But can he fix his own? Monsieur Perdu calls himself a literary apothecary. From his floating bookstore in a barge on the Seine, he prescribes novels for the hardships of life. Using his intuitive feel for the exact book a reader needs, Perdu mends broken hearts and souls. The only person he can't seem to heal through literature is himself; he's still haunted by heartbreak after his great love disappeared. She left him with only a letter, which he has never opened. After Perdu is finally tempted to read the letter, he hauls anchor and departs on a mission to the south of France, hoping to make peace with his loss and discover the end of the story. Joined by a bestselling but blocked author and a lovelorn Italian chef, Perdu travels along the country's rivers, dispensing his wisdom and his books, showing that the literary world can take the human soul on a journey to heal itself. Internationally bestselling and filled with warmth and adventure, The Little Paris Bookshop is a love letter to books, meant for anyone who believes in the power of stories to shape people's lives. Our student highly recommends the book to anyone looking for mental health healing and says everyone should read this book! ...
