In this installment we see Olive reluctantly spend spring break with her father, whom she hasn‘t seeing in a long time, and learn the balance between social media and living in the moment. Book 6 in the fun mg graphic novel Click series.

#hyggehourreadathon

Totally forgot to post a pic from last night! I‘ve really been enjoying hygge hour as it‘s helping me get through my current stack of books. Just finished watching Feud, Capote and the Swans so I had to dive in further and find out more. Even though this is a fiction title it follows the show pretty closely.

mrp27 @TheBookHippie I‘m really enjoying the book, just so fascinating and of course I‘ve gone down many a rabbit hole googling all the Swans. 1w

Caught up and current on the Heartstopper series. Such a sweet series filled with lots of great characters. In this volume Nick contemplates which University he wants to attend and Charlie learns that he doesn‘t need Nick to be brave, that he can be brave on his own.

Once again thanks to hygge hour I‘m making progress on my reads. Finished this one and I was so happy to finally meet George and Bess. More of the same formulaic plot filled with phantoms and secret passages but this time at a ranch in Arizona.

Thanks to hygge hour last night I was able to finish the last book in the Truly Devious trilogy. As a whole I did enjoy the series. Great mysterious murder plot but it really could have all been done in one book and in the end the big reveal felt anticlimactic. The tagged book just dragged as I waited and waited for Stevie to divulge who the killer was. Glad to have this series finally completed.

I just need to pick up this months Nancy Drew read from the library and my #MiddleGradeMarch stack is good to go. My current favorite mg author is Jason Reynolds and I‘ve read nearly all of his mg titles except the tagged title.

Favorite book of the month is tagged but Stories on Rye is a favorite too. Still struggling a bit with a slump, it‘s been hard for me to focus on anything other than a graphic novel or a very short book. Hope this feeling ends soon, my books are pulling up.

Snaps of Canters and the signed book illustrated by the granddaughter of its founder, Gina Canter. My usual meal I order vanilla egg cream potato pancakes and not pictured pastrami on rye.

Tonight‘s #hyggehourreadathon was enjoying this book I bought yesterday from one of my all time favorite eateries. It‘s the only place I know of in LA that comes close to NYC deli & it‘s delish. Not only is it good eating but it‘s a storied restaurant that started in the 1930‘s & is still going strong.

mrp27 Known as a hot spot for musicians to pop into after playing the Whiskey on Sunset Blvd to movie producers and politicians taking meetings everyone from Bono to Janis Joplin to Prince to JFK and Obama have eaten here. This book shares the stories of the waiters and waitresses that waited on them and to the everyday people that eat here with their families. A place where a Jewish deli became a reunion site for families separated by the holocaust. 1mo

TheBookHippie I love a good deli!!! 1mo
mrp27 @Chrissyreadit Totally agree! There is nothing like NYC food and my favorite pizza was at Spumoni Gardens. California has some of the best Mexican but I miss so much NYC food. 1mo
mrp27 @TheBookHippie Me too! Was my niece‘s first time and I had to explain the difference to her about brown/deli mustard and French‘s mustard. 1mo
Chrissyreadit @mrp27 my favorite pizza was on crossbay blvd in Ozone Park 🤣 1mo
mrp27 @Chrissyreadit I bet it‘s just as delicious! My other favorite place was a tiny place in Canarsie that‘s been there for ages but I can‘t remember the name. 1mo

My goal was to read 24 books between adult and kids series, I managed to read 22 books total. Most of the books I read were middle grade but I managed to start two new series, Thursday Murder Club and Mrs. Morris. Going Rouge kept me current on Evanovich and I read one book, book 3 in the ongoing series of Magical Bakery.
