The Monet exhibit was wonderful!
pickLow pick on this one. The MC annoyed me because she could not accept ANY help. And if she was just honest, there would have been no heartache… but it‘s a romance so there has to be conflict.
Her stepsister was absolutely the worst. This was an interesting story and set up with face blindness.
Sweetest smartest story❣️
“Light matters just as much as darkness. Play matters as much as work, and kindness matters as much as cruelty, and hope matters as much as despair. More so, even. Because tragedy is a given, but joy is a choice.”

“Isn‘t it lucky when we‘re drawn to people who can teach us things that we need to learn?” Read this in a day. Different and fun 💕
pickWhat an interesting plot! I cannot imagine what Sadie was going through, especially given her specific talent. I loathed Parker, but that was the point and it was made well. When I need a pick me up book, I turn to Katharine Center and she never disappoints. Book #10 in 2024
One of my top favorites from 2023

pickAs a little girl I adored all things Beatrix Potter and I introduced my boys to Peter and another generation fell in love! This was a very well put together biography...one that I feel kids and adults alike will enjoy!

I adore this cosy image and quote. You can always rely on Van Gogh for wisdom and clarity.

pickHaving taught BEOWULF for a number of years to my sophomore honors, why didn't I have them read this, too? This book is not simply a retelling of BEOWULF from the monster's point of view; it is highly intellectual and philosophical as Grendel seeks to find some sort of meaning to his life. Drawn to and repulsed by humans, he reminds me of Frankenstein's creature, who also seeks the purpose to his existence. ⬇️
