s yet another Viking Diaries about my school.
My "great school"
So, today was library day. and that means we go to library instead of reading. I don’t like reading (it isn’t as awful as Math and Spanish tho) so I basically did not wanted to go to the library.
But I was forced to anyways.
So, My school has a really awful library. We’re underfunded, and due to that we only have Used books. Most of them have broken covers or questionable writing/drawings on the pages. Also, a lot of them are really old. Not judging since my favorite book series is from the 1950s, but there are barely any books that are from this decade.
Also, Another problem is the sorting. A lot of the books aren’t gender neutral, which is something that triggers me. I am a girl, however I do not like stereotypically Girly books. I mean… My favorite book series are Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney and The Emigrants by Vilhelm Moberg so… welp. Not what will you consider “Girl” books.
The worst thing is that they have a whole BOOKSHELF of Dork Diaries books. Dork Diaries is the absolute worst book ever written. It’s shallow, it has terrible messages and it is very unrelatable to the main audience, Pre-teen girls and contained multiple offensive phrases to Neurodivergent people, and I am Autistic so well… Can’t believe Dork Diaries isn’t a banned book.
And about the Nordic books, My School has none. The closest to a Nordic book is this really historically inaccurate fantasy book about Vikings, but I am a Nordic History and Nordic Culture nerd who only read accurate books. I am all In for books inspired by Nordic folklore/Nordic Mythology, as long as they’re accurate. And they banned SAINs so.. Rip my interest in reading now.
The most “Interesting” book they had, was one of those world record books. Those are cool unlike 95% of the books. I remember I had a phase back in the 3rd grade where I only read those National Geographic weird but true books and world record books.
Oh yeah, and today is St. Lucia day. Happy St Lucia day to everyone. May your school library be infinity times better than mine.
Bye Vikings
