Any catch your eye?

Every chapter is a movie poster parody. Love it!

Hgiel the mellow, hoarder of cookies and wine. :)

Building Ikea furniture and listening to Obama.

That‘s about right....

“...my name is growing all the time, and I‘ve lived a long, long time; so my name is like a story.” I love Treebeard. He is probably one of my favorite characters.

1880s jokes! Many of his pictures have small little jokes in them. I enjoyed seeing the art that inspired the Caldecott Award creation.

So long Boromir 😐

Such beautiful illustrations in a beautifully written kids book. I love how the author wove Chinese folklore into her story.

Hiding from the day in my library nook living vicariously through this book!

I struggled with this book.She wrote very intense scenes which were okay. However, everything else was so poorly done. She switched POVs without notice in the same paragraph and would randomly stick Spanish words into her sentences in a way that did not flow. It was poorly written. Don‘t even get me started on the racism. The thing that gets me the most is that the author is quoted saying that she is not responsible for her cultural blind spots.

Here we go...starting this one tonight. Little nervous after the scathing review I read but am going to keep an open mind.

I really enjoyed this book. There was so much irony and deadpan humor. I felt like I knew the town and all the characters- I was invested. One that you miss once you‘re done with it.

Loved this line, “We all dream of finding but what‘s wrong with looking?”

My newest loot from Owlcrate! So excited about the Hobbit map!

This made me laugh. Mmm yes going to sleep on drugs is wonderful 🤪

Forgot my book club book at work. Guess I‘ll start a different book! :)

Starting this for book club next week

Loved,loved this book! I can‘t wait for the next in, what I‘m assuming will be Leigh Bardugo‘s next duology. I loved how conflicted and complex Alex was! The atmosphere that Bardugo created was fantastic! It was hard to put down!

I‘ve not yet read any of Leigh Bardugos books and I just started this, but I‘m loving the way she writes!

I really loved this book! It took me awhile to finish because of the chaos of the holidays, but it was so beautifully written. I love the way Coates writes. It really focuses on the importance of remembering our stories and even embracing them.

Worth reading both for the art and the quick wisdom inside to begin a mindfulness practice. Teens and adults would enjoy this title.

Super cute book about what mindfulness looks like!

A good reminder for my big family gatherings!
