Litsy

I'm getting into the Christmas spirit (BTW, where's the snow Colorado? No snow since April is unacceptable!) so I'm going to take a break from my other reading and dip into something Christmasy. I haven't chosen which one yet, but it will definitely be set in a snowy location!

TheBookHippie We usually have snow as well 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2d

monalyisha Adorable decor! 2d

TheBookgeekFrau Right?! I'm having trouble getting into the holiday spirit with all this warm weather 😂😎 2d

bookandbedandtea @TheBookgeekFrau @TheBookHippie One of our lilacs seems to think it's spring- it has leaf buds.😱😭 17h

TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea It sure felt spring like today! 15h

bookandbedandtea @TheBookgeekFrau Indeed! Part of me loves that we can keep the windows open and get fresh air still but the rest of me is very bothered by the lack of snow. 14h

Frank the Seven-Legged Spider | Michaele Razi

pick

Oh my god... so freaking adorable! Poor Frank wakes up one day and one of his legs is missing. He's not sure he is a spider anymore with 7 legs. He's on a mission to find his missing leg. Will he find it or be a lesser than spider? Cute artwork and super sweet story.

Love our local library and the amazing kids section it has! Kids picked up some Halloween books and a few others while we were there too. A trip to the library is always fine!

Wally the Wordworm | Clifton Fadiman

pick

Heard about this cool 1964 book when I read Ex Libris by Anne Fadiman. Her dad Clifton was S&S‘s editor-in-chief & The New Yorker book critic. He thought young kid‘s books in that era were too easy to read & not challenging enough. He believed children‘s lit must be “smarted up” rather than “dumbed down.” Hence this creative story about a very hungry bookworm who decides to feast on the dictionary for fun word to munch on and learn.🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Deblovestoread Love this! 1mo

MemoirsForMe @Deblovestoread This book even taught me a few things. ☺️🙌🏻 1mo

Mountain Survival | Edward Packard

One of our favorite restaurants uses choose-your-own-adventure books to give patrons their checks. I approve. (They also have photos of Danzig and heavy metal cats in the bathrooms.)

ImperfectCJ Ew, sorry for the blurry photo. I couldn't tell it was blurry with my progressives. I don't think I have a better one, though. 1mo

IriDas It's stylishly blurry. Like the haze of remembrance. :) 1mo

Daisey Such a fun idea! 1mo

The Island of Adventure | Enid Blyton

pick

Four children and a parrot want to explore an offshore island in the hope of finding a Great Auk.

Good fun, if not as gripping as I remembered from my childhood. Apparently this was the modernised/bowdlerised version, though I don't remember the original well enough to be able to tell.

Cuilin Love rereading books from childhood. I read most by Blyton but this group of kids I don‘t remember. 2mo
