This middle grade mystery was an utter delight from start to finish! Drew is a complex, lovable character. She is 12 and is a big true crime nerd, a cross between Harriet the Spy and Nancy Drew. The plot follows Drew as she chases down a cyberbully while trying to hide the fact that her mom has run off with her school‘s guidance counsellor. Ugh, her mom is the worst! Great integration of sexual/romantic orientation and disability representation!

I just want to give all these tweens fighting against a bully a big hug! This is really well done and so cute. I haven't read a middle grade book in a while and this is a great example of one!

And of course I couldn‘t pass this up for $3! We‘ve read through his Cars 5 minute stories book too many times- mama needs new material 😂

AmyG Ha, I get it. My grandson loves Cars. 2w

I say that I have a hero I‘ve never met, and he knew nothing of me but cared enough to save me, and millions of others. The research was controversial but it‘s a story that people should know, because Banting acknowledged the dogs and their contribution to the research. Without them it wouldn‘t have happened. A huge part of Canadian history.

Side note: I lived and worked just down the road from his house in London for 10 years.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Unfortunately @Clwojick won‘t continue her #Pantone challenge but on Storygraph I found that Anglelist (not on Litsy) has created the #Pantone2024 challenge based on the release of the NYC & London fashion weeks.
I thought I‘d share this with you, for anyone who enjoyed the past years. Thanks so much for hosting, Cassandra!

Here‘s the Storygraph link: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/aa210f16-cb9f-4f3d-b941-47e5677...

Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Here are the colors for #Pantone2024 if you‘re interested. Hosted by @BarbaraBB 3mo
Eggs Thanks for the tag❣️ These shades are beautiful! I‘m in 🥳 3mo
BarbaraBB @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Actually, @Lauredhel made a much better graphic and someone one Storygraph created the challenge and list so I am only just sharing because I liked the challenge so much 🩷 3mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @BarbaraBB can you explain this challenge? I missed it last year! 3mo
BarbaraBB @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Sure! Each year there are colors announced by the NY and London fashion weeks that will be the trend that year. We try to read a book for each of these colors: matching a color with the cover of a book. You‘ll see plenty of examples when you follow #pantone2023. For an overview of the colors, visit link on Storygraph I shared above or take a screenshot of @Lauredhel ‘s post on it. I hope this is helpful, if not, let me know (edited) 3mo

Wesley seeks to find a place where she belongs-in her tribe, her friends, her MS, her community; and often feels ‘not native enough‘. Especially when she writes a poem for indigenous people celebration that feels just right, but her teacher has a negative reaction to it. Written with hope and heart.

This movie was added to the HBO Max streaming service tonight and I streamed it for free. I‘m glad I didn‘t see it at the movie theater. This is my review for this movie from the Likewise app. I‘m counting this as a #holidaymovie for the #wintergames.
