#Read2025

Finished yesterday for #ChildrensClassicRead2025 Thus was a sweet book that was a great read for the season. I liked the family & found family themes, along with hope, giving & the abundance of nature. It made me want to have maple syrup on snow.

TheBookHippie I know!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ 4d
IriDas I remember reading this to my kids. A very nice book. :) 🍁 4d

I went to the restaurant attached to one of my local grocery stores & had brunch with my favorite Mexican Street Avocado Toast (hard to see with the over easy eggs on top) & side chicken sausage. Now back home relaxing & getting ready to open gifts on the phone with my friend & then #Jolabokaflod this evening. 🍫📚

Wishing everyone who celebrates a Happy Christmas Eve & if you don‘t celebrate, Happy Wednesday! I hope you find peace in the day.

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHoyrReadthon

Spending my #HyggeHour reading the tagged book for #ChildrensClassicRead2025 while listening to holiday movies in the background.

Drinking a Hint Spiced Pear water because I need to hydrate & eating some of the Mambo Magic Sticks my colleague gave me because I always hoard the mango ones in meetings.

Mood is good because while tomorrow is going to be a very busy day, I have the rest of the week off. 🙏🏼💚❤️💚

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🥳💚🤍❤️. 1w
TheBookHippie Yay!!!! Short week! 1w

It was a little hard to keep track of the characters in this one, and although it was billed as a Christmas cozy Christmas was really only tacked on at the end. So-so but not bad enough for me to abandon the series completely. #ThematicCozies @julieclair

julieclair The cover looks so enticing! Too bad the book itself was less so. 1w

I‘ve had this book on my class shelves for years but never read it myself. It was a lovely story about community and hope. I loved seeing Marly‘s joy in everything she learned from the names of beautiful spring flowers to all about tapping trees for maple syrup.

MemoirsForMe I also loved viewing the world through the joyful eyes of Marly. 🙌🏻❤️ 2w

Thx @TheBookHippie for introducing us to this heart-warming story about family, community, the healing power of nature & the art of making maple syrup. I adored this book & trivia from @Suet624 & @tpixie So cool that the owner of a PA maple farm created a museum to honor this beloved classic. The author‘s son even donated the actual Newbery Award so that kids who visit the museum and have read the book can hold the medal!

I started this middle grade read today, and I think it‘s going to be perfect for December. It‘s been on my shelf a long time, but I‘m just now finally picking it up for the children‘s classic read with @TheBookHippie

📷: Luthien just came in from running in the snow and had a bath. Now, she and La Gata are ready to snuggle in for the evening.

1/2 way through this sweet story. I‘m glad their Dad is healing in the countryside 🦋 🌳 🐭 🌺
There are magic & miracles in nature 💚

Love that it‘s loosely based on the authors‘ own history.
Another touching #ChildrensClassicRead2025
