While I wouldn‘t say these books completely knocked my socks off, they were sweet and cute and charming. I mean, come on, vegetable people! 😍 And the art—utterly adorable! #bookblanket

I do the stuff my anxiety normally prevents me from doing. Eg. On Sunday I installed and used the vacuum system that came with my car that I got last year. Every time I looked at it I‘d freak out, afraid I‘d mess it up, etc. But after the incident with my son on Thursday (see previous post about 2 down from this) I must have needed to show myself I could still control something. :)

My kiddos found books at this one and we left some of Mommy‘s! This one is so special. The caregiver for this library made it for her mother who passed away. Her mother was going blind earlier in life and lost her sight completely in the end. She loved listening to audiobooks. This had bookmarks, stickers, glow sticks, and books for all ages. 🥰

Visited Santa Barbara today. Was walking along State Street and looked down to my left and said “There‘s the library.” It took my kids half a block before they saw it. They do not have a library radar in their heads. 😂

Ajo Y El Vampiro | Bree Paulsen

This webcomic was started in 2013. It follows the story of Patrik the Vampire, switching back and forth through several periods of his life. He is certainly a loveable, but flawed, character, and the story goes to some interesting places; however, the artist last posted about three and a half years ago, so who knows if it will continue. Do you have a favorite webcomic that was never concluded?

TieDyeDude BTW, she is still creating and has released three graphic novels, including the adorable Garlic and the Vampire. 3mo
willaful “Strong Female Protagonist.“ Both writer and illustrator have gotten so busy, it will probably never be done. :-( 3mo
Clare-Dragonfly So many 😕 Templar, AZ comes to mind. Weird slice of semi-post-apocalyptic life. Spike is pretty busy with her successful comic publishing business these days. 3mo

I always watch and appreciate A Closer Look segment on Seth Meyers' Late Night show. I haven't yet listened to his podcast with his bother, but it sounds like there's good humor and plenty of #BrotherLove.

2.5 To be honest I like Seth Meyers bio on the cover better than I like the book. This book is fine. It‘s about a bear that doesn‘t want to admit they are scared while their rabbit friend is adventurous. Bear eventually overcomes their fright when a friend needs help. I wish the story might have gotten into everything that bear did to go on an adventure while not going on an adventure was an adventure.

LibrarianRyan But getting on a bus and a train and a helicopter was a type of an adventure. So I think the book missed the mark pointing that out. This book is also overly long. And it does not sound like Seth Meyers. Parts of it that I‘m not scared you‘re scared sounds exactly like him. But the rest of the story does not have the way with words we see him using his show. The book is nice and kids are going to like it, but I think it‘s a one shot and 5mo

4 ⭐ This book is lovely. While it looks like a picture book it‘s a small chapter book that is fully illustrated in color. It tells the story of evergreen a little squirrel who must go deliver medicine to Grandma Oak. To do so they must cross the forest which is dark and scary and has strange and dangerous things happen. But Evergreen learns that adventure awaits if you‘re only brave enough to take it. This book was lovely w excellent illustrations
