I picked up this book from 1965 because it's illustrated by Sam Savitt, and it's staying on my shelf for that reason despite it being a pretty so-so story. It's only 89 pages long, and some brief research makes me think it's a sequel to an earlier book about a Shetland Pony named Christy. There just isn't much story here, but I'm sure 10-year-old me would have been enthralled by a girl being gifted her own pony 😂

An old Scholastic Book Club book from 1935 that isn't in the database. Another soft pick, this was perfectly fine but somewhat boring fare. A brother and sister at the seaside on vacation meet up with a local boy with a semi-tragic backstory involving a lost inheritance. In the end, they find the long-lost will and happy endings are handed out all around. There's birdwatching, too, so I probably would have loved this when I was younger haha

Pickpick

This story, about the last three gnomes in England, seems like it should have been a book I loved. Three brothers traveling to try and find their lost brother and running into plenty of adventures and animal friends along the way. However, it somehow just didn't quite work for me. Maybe it was the random murder in the middle? I liked it but didn't love it. Soft pick.

Bookwormjillk Random murder will sometimes put a damper on things 😂 1mo

An overdue update after last weekend‘s readathons. I read Carrie on the train from Newark to DC, but after that whirlwind trip my brain was mush. So I decided to start clearing some of the short stories off my list, including those pictured. #PSReadathon #31by31 #Spookoween #BirthdayBashReadathon

I‘m so pleased with all the reading I did over the weekend for the #BirthdayBashReadathon! I finished three in-progress books (one of which was my October #BookSpin), kept up/caught up on #FellowshipofTolkien and #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead, and got about halfway through my #DoubleSpin! Happy Birthday, Sarah—and I hope you had a lovely weekend reading and celebrating! 🥳🎉📚🎂

BarbaraJean The other reading I got done this weekend: researching the—count them—13 ballot measures I get to vote on in this election: one district measure, two county measures, and TEN statewide measures 😵‍💫 Today I‘m researching superior court judges 🎉 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Fantastic weekend!! That is a LOT of issues to research! And it can be sooo hard to find non-partisan information, even from supposedly non-partisan sources 😒 1mo

Time spent reading yesterday: 8 hours 30 minutes = 85 points x‘s 7 for 6 readathons = 595 points.

I‘m reading the tagged book for the pumpkin spice readathon & it really fits the cozy vibe (plus I love the covers from this series!) 🎃
