What Really Happened to Humpty? | Jeanie Franz Ransom
post image
Pickpick

#DynamicDs Day 1: In this picturebook, we find out From The Files Of A Hard-Boiled #Detective what really happened to Humpty. The main character of the story is Joe Dumpty, Humpty‘s younger brother who happens to be a #detective. Most naturally, he is keen on cracking the case of his brother, whom he feels has been pushed from that great wall. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-iqi

Random book from our home library:

📖 Fabulae Mirabiles: Fairy Tales in Latin (Hippocrene Foreign Language Studies) by Victor Barocas

BooksandCoffee4Me Oh, this book is one for my son! He loves Latin and assisted his professor at a conference for instructors of Latin. He may or may not have translated an excerpt of Fahrenheit 451 into Latin for fun. 2d
bibliothecarivs @BooksandCoffee4Me, that's great! I'd like to see that if it's available anywhere. Here's the rest of my Latin collection if he's interested: https://www.librarycat.org/lib/bibliothecarivs/search/tag/Latin. 2d

Earlier this year I listened to the author‘s 2 hour abridged presentation of this book but I had to own an unabridged copy. I am only 16 pages in but feel confident in saying every woman should own, read and gift this book. I‘m soaking up every word. It‘s just what I needed on the tail end of a year and a half depression. I know I will be gifting this to both my daughters.

#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025 This is a “folk tale” from the Grishaverse. It‘s not required reading to stay up to date with the series but it‘s definitely worth reading. It‘s not what I expected.

I got to hang out with my teen and my spouse for an outdoor, in-concert-with-the-symphony showing of this classic movie about a grandpa who reads a book aloud to his jaded grandson. There's also kissing and pirates.

Ruthiella How fun! 4d
ravenlee Is this a kissing book? 4d
Butterfinger Inconceivable!!!!! I want to experience this. 4d

ImperfectCJ @Ruthiella @ravenlee @Butterfinger @Clare-Dragonfly It was such a fun time! The music was fantastic, and the audience participation (from yelling out lines with the movie to dressing up as Buttercup, Westley, or ROUSes) was a hoot. Such an awesome movie! (I just wish there were more women in it and that they hadn't made Buttercup so clueless.) 4d
MemoirsForMe How cool! Was it the San Diego Symphony? 4d
ImperfectCJ @MemoirsForMe Yes! They were fabulous! We saw them again tonight for Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony (and Beethoven's Piano Concerto 3, which isn't my favorite), and it was just what I needed after feeling anxious much of the day. They're playing with Beck in July, and I'm trying to decide if that will be awesome or lame. 4d
MemoirsForMe Oh what fun! I used to go to the Pops, but it‘s been ages. Looks like they have a whole new amphitheater too. Glad you‘re treating yourself! Hmm..Beck could be pretty wild. 2d

This one is decent. It has some fun twists (and some that are a little confusing), but it seems like it can't quite decide how YA it is. Part of that could be the narrator (I listened to part of it on audiobook...the narrator also mispronounced words and whoever was editing the audiobook left background sounds in a few times, which I found distracting), but I think a lot of it is just how tenuous the characters are, like they're not fully formed.
