pickThis is a cute read about a first crush and friendship, both online and IRL, with plenty of reminders about responsible online behavior. Ingrid is 13 and much more comfortable in her online persona than in the real world of middle school. I had to suspend disbelief a bit to follow Ingrid in her lack of realization, but it was a sweet story. This is MG but also on the edge of YA in its focus on relationships.

I meant to start this book a bit earlier over break, but I guess it was meant for today. Always fun to read something on the day it‘s set.

Yay I made it! ⏱️ Toward the end I started bouncing around between a couple titles but I should finish these before the month is out. 🧁
Thanks to everyone who played along. I had a truly great birthday and today I‘m attending a silent book club at a new bookstore here in town. Happy Sunday!
I bought this volume years ago at a comic convention. It lived in my TBR pile until recently when I learned that it was adapted into an anime series. And I think it really cool since it‘s done by a US artist, kickstarted into manga publication, and then made into anime in Japan 👍🏼 So awesome!!
Anyways, it‘s a rom-com set in gaming culture, woman working in STEM, deals with mental health and internet celebrity-ism.

pickGreat collection of droids for the Star Wars role playing game!
I'm so happy to be back at the d&d table. I'm playing a harengon ranger. A harengon is basically a rabbit person. I have a bit more painting to do on her, but I'm excited she gets to be active again.
I did not know the story of Tetris was such a legal thriller filled with international intrigue!
