pickSophie Anderson‘s Russian-folklore inspired fantasy for children aged 9+ is a beautifully written affair about feeling different, being true to yourself and accepting help from friends. Kathrin Honesta‘s deceptively simple illustrations really complement the sense of melancholy and regret that runs through the book. The pacing slightly sags in the final quarter so some characters get lost but it‘s a satisfying read that‘s definitely worth a look
Happy #shelfiesaturday 😊😃😺 this is one of my to-be-library-books stacks.

The slump feeling continued this week. I am reading but mostly audios.
I finished The Girl Who Speaks Bear, Paper Girls Volume 1, The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep (audio), Unf*ck Yourself, and Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs (audio).
As to what I am in the middle of... I don't even know.

Friday night with my favorite dog. Love the cover on this book. I don't read a lot of middle grade, but enjoying this so far!
