Hi, this is Stephanie Goins of Amarillo, Texas for HPPR Radio Readers Book Club. Today, I’ll be covering one of the latest graphic novels in the Spring Read series, “Worth a Thousand Words.” The books I’ll be discussing are titled March, and it’s a three-book series about congressman John Lewis. These stories truly touch my heart, and they hit close to home for me.

Hi, I’m Valerie a Radio Reader from Topeka and I just finished reading March by John Lewis, a graphic autobiography as part of our Radio Reader series this spring Worth a Thousand Words. So, I’m a history geek and I loved March which is a three-part autobiography of the late senator and civil rights activist John Lewis.

Hello. My name is Andrea Elise and I live in Amarillo, Texas.I just finished reading Nora Krug’s graphic novel, Belonging. The book whisks us across miles of Nora’s anguished searching throughout New York and numerous cities in Germany. We move past moments of panic and horror, as well as levity and insight.

This is Leslie VonHolten on the High Plains of Kansas with another HPPR Radio Readers Book Byte.Nora Krug’s graphic memoir, Belonging: A German Reckons with History and Home, is a hauntingly illustrated journey as she works to uncover her family’s beliefs and possibly complicity during the Nazi era, she tells us her fears are amplified by her generation’s horror of the Holocaust.

Miriam Scott here from Amarillo to share with you my impressions from the book “Belonging” by Nora Krug. It is a brave book. A book full of vulnerability, courage, honesty, and a wrestling with history that I, as a fellow German immigrant am very thankful for.
