📚What We’re Reading Wednesday🌟

This week, we're giving you an update on what Rachel, our Executive Director, is reading! She just finished "This Will Be Interesting" by E. B. Asher, the sequel to "This Will Be Fun". She truly enjoyed following the characters' madcap investigation into an assassination plot gone wrong and appreciated that the sequel incorporated familiar characters from the first book as well as introducing new ones to the adventure.

Genre: Fantasy/Romantasy
Length: 464 pages
Publication Year: 2026

🎧You can get "This Will Be Interesting" on audiobook on Libro.fm and your purchase will directly support IBP: https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9780063440296-this-will-be-interesting?bookstore=intlbookproject

It’s time for another episode of The Library of Lost Bookmarks! We always find lots of fun bookmarks (and “bookmarks”) in our donated books, so take a look at some of our recent favorites.📖🌟

In our popular Books as Bridges program, schools in different countries are paired for a year-long cultural exchange during which students swap letters and small gifts. The students also learn that, while the world is big, it may not be quite as big as they thought at the beginning of the program.

To celebrate these global friendships and show appreciation for and admiration of the many cultures IBP works with on a daily basis, we are showcasing both the beauty and the struggles of each country we serve.

Welcome to Ukraine!🇺🇦

One of the best parts of our work is getting to see the payoff - the joy of opening a new box of books! These students in Armenia recently received their shipment of books and their teacher, a current Peace Corps Armenia Volunteer, was kind enough to snap some photos and share the moment with us!🇦🇲
