Litsy

The One and Only Ruby | Katherine Applegate

pick

Big thumbs up from the 9 year old as we continue through the series. Things we learned: elephants are now growing shorter tusks due to years of poaching (which is sad but cool how biology works as a way to try & protect the species). In the author‘s notes she gave some good resources: Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (oldest elephant sanctuary) & Elephant Voices website has elephant ethograms where you can learn all about elephant behaviors. She also

ncsufoxes reminded people to stay away from side of the road places offering elephant rides. If you want to see elephants or other wildlife go through ecotourism programs that allow people to see nature while protecting it. 1h

TheBookHippie Sheldrick is wonderful!!! 1h

What I love about Litsy are the friendships. I didn‘t really have any “book friends” IRL…and then found Litsy. I love the community, the challenges, the swaps, my penpals and especially the people who like to read what I do and all the wonderful reviews and suggestions of what to read.

Tha k you so much for the giveaway @CSeydel

Rainbow Garden (Revised) | Patricia St John

pick

Sweet story about finding joy in hard circumstances with lovely imagery of the Welsh countryside. Not as complete of a story as my all time favorite St. John, Treasures of the Snow, but nonetheless a lovely spring read.

The Elephant in the Room | Holly Goldberg Sloan

pick

One of my favorite middle grade novels was Counting by 7's by Holly Goldberg Sloan. This one was equally as sweet and hopeful. A good read for any kid who feels different or has issues in their life well out of their control.

#MiddleGradeMarch #TBR #Pop prompt: author with three last names

They told us in August that our job was going to be outsourced overseas, so I'm in the middle of looking for a new job. I'm not sure how much reading I'll be able to do this month, but I'm going to try.

PurpleyPumpkin Wishing you great good luck in your job hunt!🍀 2mo

Butterfinger I am so sorry. 2mo
