pickThe first book is the best and gets quite amusing with family moving to Vermont and dealing with an old house, quirky people, etc. The kids are very unique! The second one gets a little boring towards the end. I‘d say just read the first one. Sort of like Erma Bombeck.
Starting a book that looks good. Actually two books in one. Seems quite amusing so far as they look for a rental house in Vermont.
pickIf, like me, your reading style started out as Babysitters Club and morphed into historical fiction, this middle grade series is for you. This seems to be a sleeper by Ann M Martin, of Babysitters Club fame. Following a family tree from the depression, Kennedy‘s assassination, on through 9/11, Martin tackles tough family topics such as mental illness, disability, and alcoholism in a straightforward but gentle way.
#HaikuADay #HaikuHive
Headed to Kauai for the day for meetings, a focus group & an All Hands dinner tonight. Sitting in the quiet bustle of the lounge waiting for my flight & writing today‘s haiku:
Neighbor Island Commuters
Dawn at HA lounge
Bustle, chatter, coffee scents
We nod, take to skies

pickThe Weirdies kid's books are very reminiscent of the A Series of Unfortunate Events and they are very weird. I randomly stumbled upon these and listened to the audiobooks because Kate Winslet is the narrator. The story follows the Weirdie triplets Barnacle, Garlic, and Melancholy that woke up one day and found their "parents", all 200 servants and every item from the house gone.

A title with #Roses from my stacks. It‘s been quite a while since I read this one but I‘ve always liked the cover image. 🌹♥️🌹
I totally should have been doing the things around the house I said I‘d get to in the new year, but I‘ve spent the day at run club, down Internet rabbit holes, and on the couch with this book. 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you so much for my lovely Christmas card, bookmarks and ornaments, Gisela! I will enjoy using them! You were so sweet to send those! Merry Christmas, friend! 🎄❤️🎄 (For us the season lasts and lasts 😄)
