Butterfinger
The Water Horse | Dick King-Smith
post image

At my school, the staff, children, and families read The Water Horse. For the past 20 years, we have also celebrated the arts and spring with Blooming Arts Day, which is always the day before our spring break. We paint, local bands perform. Appalachian storytellers come. It is truly a magical day that I look forward to each year. We also celebrate the children's writing.

Too much for one post. Please continue reading.

Butterfinger This year, we are combining the Water Horse, set in Scotland, with our last event. We have a wonderful show planned with bagpipes and singing. I have been asked to emcee. Can you help me out by providing me with some phrases that I can use? Or do you think it is mocking the culture if I even try? I love the words bairn, wee, laird, ken. Words I have learned from reading Thoene and the Outlander series. 4d
Susanita I love the word “dreich” for dull, gloomy, dreary weather. 4d
Butterfinger @Susanita thank you. That is a cool word. 3d

This is the 1st Hamish book without M.C. Beaton. The changes are subtle, at least imo, but I still thoroughly enjoyed this. Poor Hamish just cannot catch a break with his messy love life. Love this series. 4⭐️

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Oh no, he still hasn‘t got his love life sorted? I haven‘t read a Hamish book in forever. Not sure how I feel about the books being continued past them being given an ending. I read the first Agatha Raisin without MC and while it was fine - I haven‘t continued. 4d
JenlovesJT47 @thegirlwiththelibrarybag Hamish has very bad luck in this one with his current lady. I love both Hamish and Agatha and while I can definitely tell a difference with the new author, I still think he captures the overall feel of everything pretty well. I just finished the new Agatha Raisin book and enjoyed it. 4d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @JenlovesJT47, as long as the enjoyment is still there, that‘s really all that matters. 4d

Two books outside my norm this month for my #aardvarkbookclub picks.
What did you all get?

This is bittersweet as it‘s the last Hamish book officially written by M.C. Beaton before her passing. But it was a really good one! The shenanigans with Hamish‘s wild cat are very entertaining & I‘m happy to say his beloved Sonsie is finally back. 🐈‍⬛ Loved this one. 5⭐️
