Those who do not learn from history, are bound to repeat it!!
Thanks to @PathfinderNicole and @majkia among others for suggestion.
To start off nonfiction November, let's share memoirs for #middlegrademonday !
The tagged is about the author's trip to Europe in his middle school years and captures all the insecurities of that age so well. Graphic memoirs like this one are becoming quite the trend!

Hard to compare to the first Guncle book because that one was so refreshing and beautiful and this was more a rehashing of everything, walking through the same exact emotional speeches…but I still mostly enjoyed the ride. I don‘t want to be overly critical because I think it‘s hard to measure up to #1.
Decent read. It's good as a broad introduction to the history of the Normans. The book covers several different historical events, such as William the Conqueror, the Norman conquest of Sicily, and the 1st Crusade. However, I feel that the author tries to cover too much material in too short of a book. As a result, several events aren't covered in as much detail as they could've been.
This was so good! It was wonderful to catch up with these beloved characters a few years later. I love that it includes the complexity of healing from grief and how that ebbs and flows even years later. Moving on and allowing one‘s self to experience joy again can come with mixed feelings. Letting new people love you can be tough and this book handles these themes with grace, beauty, and all the feels - often with laugh aloud humor. Wonderful!
Pretty good superficial view of German history since Roman times. Showed why Hitler seemed to be the answer in the early '30s. Don't look for a lot of details here, but OK overview. Took me longer to read than I thought, as usual.
Finished on Wednesday. Took me a minute to grasp the Google sheets wizardry for #HauntedShelf 😝 Grabbed 17 word search words on this book alone. Counting this one as a series recommendation. I love these characters! I have really enjoyed this series and hope book 2 isn‘t the end. Also I really enjoyed Rowley‘s narration on audio and was surprised to only find he has narrated his own work. #SkeletonCrew ⬇️

Not quiiiiite as cute as the first Guncle, but still super adorable and definitely worth the read🤍
Patrick and the kids head to Italy for his brother/their father‘s wedding! 😬
