I received my last #winterwitch package and my #Jolabokaflodswap package. @MittenGirlPeach @KadaGul @MaleficentBookDragon @BookwormAHN …..I will open them tomorrow seeing when I got home Cassian was still up and he has a low grade fever and just wants to be held by me.
I sent out my #jolabokaflodswap package yesterday, and had some fun conversations with strangers while waiting in line. 🥰🥰🥰

“You‘re just growing up is all. Feeling mixed up and mad at the world is part of that for almost everyone... It‘ll pass, Sugarpea. I promise.”
This book could be used to prompt class discussions that encourage students to look at others with empathy, to understand that everyone has hidden struggles, and to see that our past doesn‘t define our future. Discussions could also center around the themes of identity, belonging, family, and self-acceptance.
pickAs Simple as It Seems by Sarah Weeks is a contemporary realistic fiction book. This book was published in 2010. The book focuses on the main character Verbena Colter who has always felt different, especially around her family. However, when a new boy moves in next door for the summer, Verbena discovers that friendship and courage can help her see herself in a whole new light. This book is about compassion and facing real-world issues.
My updated reading bracket... not a hard choice to make this time around.
pick#JuneSpecials Day 30: from Fats‘ review: If the story of Firegirl were to be divided into sections, there would be a Before, During, and After Jessica Feeney—mostly applicable to Tom. Prior to her arrival, Tom Bender liked to daydream about the beautiful Courtney Zisky, and had high hopes of riding a Cobra, a 1960s #SportsCar, someday.“ Full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-7yY
pickI haven‘t been doing many individual book reviews lately but it always comes as a surprise to me when I‘m the first to post about a book so I couldn‘t let the opportunity pass me by. All middle graders will enjoy this adventurous series, particularly reluctant male readers who prefer the outdoors, camping, hiking, fishing, dogs etc. (Of note: abusive stepdad). Adults who enjoy a good road trip or nature read will also enjoy this series.
@MrsGagnonreads2024 I'm really sorry 💔 to hear about your kid. Having molars removed ❌ can be quite painful 🤕🤒, but I hope 🤞 he recovers quickly. Wishing him all the best!
My apologies 💔 for the late delivery. I was told the package should arrive by Saturday at the latest. I know I was cutting it a little too close. 5d
