I love teeturtle shirts & saw that there‘s a 40% off sale on their shirts about reading. This is a great time to get one because they‘re $12-15. I love this shirt—it‘s so me right now. Just want you all to have some nerdy reading shirts!

Araf lives in Oman with his mother and father. His best friend is his grandfather whom he has great adventures. Araf life is about to change as his parents have decided to get doctoral degrees at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor Michigan. He must leave his cat, his school, his friends, and his beloved grandfather.
Well written. Good characters. Good story.
Worth the time.

This is now in my top three Wayward Children books. This one was delightful and sad, like most of this series. I 🥰🥰🥰 this series do much.
Check out these novellas, you won‘t regret it. McGuire/Grant is a must buy author for me.🥰
My only complaint is that they are so short.
I like the way this #grannysquare came out for my #bookblanket2025

Sy Montgomery's distinctive voice, a mix of perky and reverent, just isn't a match for the overwhelmingly sad tone of the material. If dismal statistics and a flood of accidental, neglectful, cruel, and gory turtle injuries and casualties recounted wasn't enough, references to the COVID-19 pandemic and other hellish aspects of 2020 enter the story to depress the reader further. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? On the plus side:
Insatiable curiousity yields some interesting side bars/tangents.
The book showcases important work being done. I think perhaps Montgomery also wanted to focus on a more uplifting, relatable topic, the people helping the turtles, showing that people care even in the worst and most challenging of circumstances.
1mo
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 There are sweet and silly moments, by they come late and few.
The sub-theme of linkages to time based on the lifespan of turtles, the aging of the author, is not quite as shoe-horned into the narrative as it might first appear.

⚠️animal abuse, animal death, discussion of COVID-19 pandemic, discussion of transphobia

Damn, Seanan, the ending on this one was just brutal! Brilliant, vivid world building, as always. Follows the resent trend of dropping major hints about the doors 🚪 but still not giving any details. What is your game here, Seanan?!

I really loved Mcguire's newest addition to the Wayward Children series. I absolutely adored Nadya's character when we first met her in Book 3 of this series. Getting to learn more about her background, and her first journey to Belyyreka was everything I wanted it to be, and more. 😍 This book also did an excellent job of dealing with themes of adoption and disabilities.

I can't wait for the next book in this series.
