Why are books about ADHD so important? I was diagnosed with ADHD in high school, along with another learning disorder, after a few very long years filled with missed homework assignments, teacher eye rolls, mystified parents, and a great deal of yelling and tears. My first reaction was a huge sigh of relief. I was not crazy, lazy or stupid, after all! It felt good to have a name I could put to this thing that had suddenly slammed down on top of me like a wall after years of academic success and blending into the background as the quiet kid in class....

Without further ado, I give you 15 books for teens that they want you to read right now. These are books teens here in south London have been recommending to each other since school started in September....

Heads up, the entirety of this list contains bilingual books. This means that each page or so has the English text on it, and then the Spanish translation (or the other way around). This is great, because you can directly compare the translations and get a sense of what the words really mean in the other language. Plus it gives children more understanding of the story. The categories listed here overlap a bit, so keep in mind that different kids require different books depending on their own reading level....

While Deonn has created a highly compelling and original story, readers who are looking for books like Legendborn have plenty of options to tide them over while they wait for the second installment in the series. Here are some of the best books like Legendborn with Arthurian themes, determined teen girl heroines, or mythical connections that Legendborn fans can dive into. YA has always been the best place to find stories that mix fantasy and contemporary, myth and high-school drama, and while Legendborn is a unique take on Arthurian legend, there are stories that fill a similar niche....

North Carolina Cookbooks While North Carolina is known for eastern-style barbecue, sweet tea, and Krispy Kreme, that’s not all we have on the menu.

Below are some of my favorite cookbooks penned by North Carolina chefs.

Yoga has a complicated history, with origins stretching back more than 3,000 years in what is modern day India. There’ve been a number of influential leaders throughout the centuries, leading to teachers earning distinction as guru, whether or not it’s earned. Some are known abusers, having allowed their ego to step in front of the foundational practices and philosophies of yoga. But emerging from these complex histories are fresh voices, reexamining the classics texts of yoga and presenting to teachers and students new, modern, and progressive ways in which the practice endures....

When I watched The Color Purple as a young girl, I was traumatized but also it was a reminder that as a Black girl, my experiences as far different than white women and Black men. I suddenly found myself going down a rabbit hole of Black women writers who centered Black feminism in their works. Alice Walker, who coined the term womanism, gave me a better grasp of how Black women navigate and the language needed to express how I felt....

“It appears that when the papers doubled in the number of pages, they doubled the size of the sports section,” said Harry Heath in How to Cover, Write, and Edit Sports. The genre only grew after Pulitzer hired the first sports editor in 1883. Other major newspapers followed and soon everyone had an editor for the genre. Then basketball was born in 1891 and sports journalism took off even more....

We also adore keeping an advent calendar, decorating our tree and putting nativity scenes around the house. We love the candlelit Christmas caroling down the main street of our sleepy neighborhood.

Here are some of the best new Christmas books for kids, many of which are recent releases....

I also chose to include a list of creatures and entities you might not normally pick. Some readers may glance at this list and exclaim, “how very dare you” for missing creatures from popular books or series. To that I say: Yes, I know. I did that on purpose. It is my goal to introduce creatures and books that you can discover and share with newfound glee. For the sake of organization and navigation, I chose to list creatures by sections based on the creatures’ main elements: Land, Water, Air, Forest, and an underworld-themed section, which encompasses creatures and entities (some of them are spirits) who hail from underworlds, netherworlds, and the gray places in between....
