Don’t know much about history, don’t know much about biology . . . ? Well, I’ve got some books for you! This week’s TTT is Back to School Freebie. I love Sam Cooke‘s song, What A Wonderful World This Would Be and always think about it when I hear back to school. My list today features books that fit the lyrics of this old school song (see what I did there? š ). There are 6 subjects listed in the lyrics, and I have come up with 2 books each. An even dozen of great books! Who cares if some of the books loosely fit the category — it’s all in fun! I hope you enjoy my list.
For more fun back to school lists, check out That Artsy Reader Girl.

My TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2022/08/30/top-ten-tuesday-383/
such a great twist to this week’s freebie – love it!
Math was one of my favorite subjects in school. I’ll definitely have to check out The Enchantress of Numbers and The Number of Love. They both sound fascinating. š
I love the presentation of your list. I have only read The Kitchen Front which I really enjoyed. I wasn’t sure whether to put it on my list so didnt in the end.
Have a great week!
