pickTo no one's surprise, I had a great time reading this. I'll admit to being biased towards the first book in what looks to be a series, but this one followed in its footsteps with lovely illustrations and a good message. The shift to cakes in the narrative means somewhat of a pastel departure from the rich tones of the original, and similarly, there was a beautiful contrast between earlier moments of loneliness and concern to warmth 1/?
When in doubt, go to the library. 🥰

pickMimi discovers the art of magical baking while preparing for a baking competition at a local cafe and chaos breaks out within her family. This is a fun adaptation borrowing from A Midsummer Night‘s Dream. I enjoy books with kitchen magic, and Mimi is a charming character. This is middle grade, but it did feel like she was a little more clueless than I would have expected. #Magic #Baking #MiddleGrade #Adaptations
pickI very much enjoyed this magical and enchanting tale. I loved the combination of fact with fiction. The author did a fantastic job of bringing the characters alive and telling the story of the ‘fairy‘ photos. It‘s amazing to think that people actually thought they were real. Beautifully written and thoroughly entertaining, I can highly recommend it.

I‘m reading The Cottingley Secret by Hazel Gaynor with my online book group, https://thereadingloft.groups.io/g/main. The theme is a story about a picture or painting.
I colored a picture of this Fairy on one of my coloring apps.

I‘ve got my #Roll100 picks for August all laid out! At least one of these will be moving off of my tbr and into my read pile this year 🤭 Thanks @PuddleJumper !
pickFinished my last book by Beth Krommes and absolutely loved everything about it. The artwork was superb as well as the fantasy tales of different creatures like fairies, gnomes, selkies, etc. Learned more about the fictional creatures and it's perfect for any age to read this book.
