pickWow! I haven‘t read a book like this…ever! It takes place in a world that, at first, seems normal, but as time passes becomes more and more strange. I LOVED the twist that dawned on me only immediately before it was revealed, and found the adventure extremely entertaining! I‘ll be thinking about Kess and her Museum of Unnatural History for a long, long time.
The August 4, 2025 issue of The New Yorker arrived today. I love the cover featuring the steps of the MET. Below are 3 previous issues: 1955, 1977, 2007 whose covers featured the MET. Just “for fun” post. I feel blessed that we are but a train ride away from this museum, with all it‘s beauty for us to peruse.
pickWonderful. The ART! The rendering of nature, the detail in both the borders and background and central figures on each page, the use of colour, the expression on the little turtle faces! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT. And of course, a great message contained within the narrative. So grateful Jan Brett was recommended to me.
Just gorgeous. And the meeting of Mossy and Scoot, so cute! 🥰
pickThis was adorable. I loved the puns, and the mystery. Thank you to @WildAlaskaBibliophile for adding this to her #AuldLangSpine list. @monalyisha
