so-so

I have really mixed feelings about this one.
On the one hand I really enjoyed parts of the story;
On the other hand there were parts I felt were totally unnecessary and parts that were unnecessarily brutal and cruel.

CatLass007 Welp, this is interesting. If my books were on shelves instead of on my phone and audio format, it would be much easier to pick a green book. But I love William Kent Krueger‘s writing and the cover of the tag book is mostly green sort of.

The mystery of the old violin | Augusta Huiell Seaman, William Hutchinson (Printer)

pick

Presumably I read this book back when I purchased it for a quarter back in 1997, but I have no memory of it 😂 A Scholastic Book Club reprint of a 1932 story, this one was perfectly fun but not particularly engaging. But I probably would have liked it better when I was the age for which it's aimed. Soft pick.

One Italian Summer: A Novel | Rebecca Serle

so-so

This one took me forever to read…. I just didn‘t feel compelled to make time for it, even with the exquisite setting. And I would‘ve bailed and tried again, except I needed this as a do-over for a #bookchain prompt I didn‘t plan very well! 😂🤷‍♀️ @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 8mo

Time To Go House | Walter D. Edmonds

pick

My mom got this as a library discard when I was a kid, and I always loved it growing up. Smalleata is a mouse whose clan moves into the human house across the field when winter comes (and the people leave for the season). There, she falls in love with a house mouse. Lots of adventures, but it's actually pretty intense for a children's book, as some of the mice get eaten! I really enjoyed this reread and still find this a delightful book. And it ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) may help explain my reluctance to set mousetraps 😂

Suet624 I was thinking I should find it for one of my grandkids but then .... mice get eaten!!
11mo

TheAromaofBooks @Suet624 - It's intense but not graphic. Kind of along the lines of the original Bambi book. One mouse gets eaten because he is willing to sacrifice himself to help the others get away. And a rat gets hunted down by weasels in what is probably the scariest scene of the book. I loved this book when I was 12ish, but it's a book I would read first before handing to a younger reader to make it's not too intense. 11mo

Navigate Your Stars | Jesmyn Ward

A beautiful little book, in which Ward talks about her hard road to fulfilling her dream of being a writer. This is for the people to whom things don't always come easily, who have to keep their vision in mind and take step after patient step to reach it.
