At the end of each year, Google puts together a powerful video of the highlights of the year.  They also compile the top searches of the year.  Here are a few of the highlights:

  • Most Searched Movie:  Deadpool

BOOK TIP:  Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult
Becky Marzotto let me borrow her copy as I couldn't wait until the library copy came in!  Jodi Picoult is a favorite author of mine.  Her novels are emotionally wrenching, touch on current issues, and have multiple character viewpoints, allowing you to realize fully the impact of the story.  In her latest novel, a black nurse, Ruth, is asked not to have any contact with the newborn baby of a white supremacist family.  When the baby goes into cardiac distress while Ruth is the only one in the nursery, she is faced with a critical decision, intervene or obey the order she was given?  This decision sets off a page-turning story of race, power, and privilege.
