I don’t know how this book got in my position but I should pass it along. I hope it’ll mean something for someone <3

Snow White, Rose Red In a tiny Welsh estate, a duke and duchess lived happily, lacking only a child -- or, more importantly, a son and heir to the estate. Childbirth ultimately proved fatal for the young duchess. After she died, the duke was dismayed to discover that he was not only a widower, but also father to a tiny baby girl. He vowed to begin afresh with a new wife, abandoning his daughter in search of elusive contentment.Independent -- virtually ignored -- and finding only little animals and a lonely servant boy as her companions, Jessica is pale, lonely and headstrong...and quick to learn that she has an enemy in her stepmother. "Snow," as she comes to be known, flees the estate to London and finds herself embraced by a band of urban outcasts. But her stepmother isn't finished with her, and if Jessica doesn't take control of her destiny, the wicked witch will certainly harness her youth -- and threaten her very life....

Condition is a little bit better than good. I read this during one of my first college courses a longg time ago. It was a great read but I won’t be reading it myself anymore. Maybe someone else can get this for their course for super cheap!

Social Studies

Greece, Persia, and the End of the Golden Age

In The Expedition of Cyrus, Xenophon told how, in 401 B.C., a band of Greek mercenaries traveled east to fight for the Persian prince Cyrus the Younger in his attempt to wrest the throne from his brother. With this first masterpiece forming the backbone of his book, Waterfield explores what remains unsaid and assumed in Xenophon's account.

Michelle Tea

I loved this book when I dove into it. The author explains Arcana’s and each card’s meaning in this resonating symbolic manner that allows the reader to be able to interpret with deeper versatility. She’s relatable and includes her own experiences that allows this complex world to be entered with ease. Included are exercises on incorporating each card with yourself and the energy of the card itself. 

I personally have gotten into Christianity so I won’t be using my tarot books anymore. They’re meant for someone else who is ready to be in this journey!

Connecting with Your Higher Self Through the Wisdom of the Cards

Beloved literary iconoclast Michelle Tea reinvents tarot for a new generation in this guide to using the Tarot as a twenty-first-century tool for connecting with our higher selves.

 

Long before Michelle Tea was winning awards for her poignant memoirs, she was a scrappy misfit on the streets of San Francisco, supporting herself by giving eerily prescient tarot readings. As her reputation as a writer grew, she stopped publicly reading the Tarot, though she never stopped doing it privately. Based on over twenty-five years of experience and a deep and abiding love of the cards, Modern Tarot brings the full force of Tea's unique insight, inviting pop sensibility, and wicked humor to bear on the tradition of the Tarot in a fascinating journey through the cards that teaches us how to use this tradition for radical self-growth.

 

Whether you're a dyed-in-the-wool seeker or a digital-age skeptic--or a little of both--the power of tarot is open to you. Modern Tarot doesn't require you to believe in the supernatural or to focus narrowly on using the tarot as a divination tool. Instead, it offers fiercely insightful descriptions of each of the seventy-eight cards in the tarot system (each one fully illustrated by Amanda Verwey) and specially designed rituals to guide readers on a path toward transformative personal growth.

 

Grounded in Tea's decades of tarot wisdom and personal experience, this is a guide that beginners will fall in love with and experienced readers will learn from anew. With her trademark one-of-a-kind insight and wit, Tea shows how tarot offers moments of deep, authentic connection during a time when "connection" is ubiquitous but rarely delves beneath the surface--and how the affirming and personal nature of the Tarot offers a spiritual experience that is gentle, individual, and aspirational.

Malala Yousafzai

Christina Lamb

Such a beautiful and humbling read. Was inspired by a dear friend to pick up this book myself and it’s time to pass it along. Someone else’s turn to read her story who hasn’t already, and possibly be moved and it’s the catalyst to the next something that the world needs 

It’s weathered in a way that would make me feel like it’s been passed down to me without feeling like it’s been used disrespectfully 

The Girl Who Stood up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban

A MEMOIR BY THE YOUNGEST RECIPIENT OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

As seen on Netflix with David Letterman

"I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday."

When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education.

On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive.

Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she became a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize.

I AM MALALA is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons.

I AM MALALA will make you believe in the power of one person's voice to inspire change in the world.
