pickLoved this, I cried at the end and almost one time in the middle. The vocabulary was challenging even to me (uh oh) and the voice was endearing. Satisfies category 8 Award-Winning Children's book #ReadICT (author from Wichita KS) as well as two timelines #AsheCoNCReadingChallenge
And pie! #ILovePie #LitPie pumpkin and lemon 🥧

It‘s been quite a while since I read this book with year in the title, but I remember enjoying each of Peck‘s books that I‘ve read. Additionally, this was the Newbery Medal winner for 2001.

pickFinally finished second book in trilogy. Lyra is separated from her demon and tries to find him in a middle eastern haunted place while Malcolm tries to find her, while being hunted by a religous police. Long but good. Will have to find copy of third book.
pickI thought this book was going to be so predictable until the last 40-50 pages. Then it veered so hard I'm still digesting it.
This book is part (Hua) Mulan, and part Cinder, with a heaping helping of original flair. I think Silkpunk may be my new favorite genre.

Having some Pukka tea & one of the Tony‘s Chocolonely bars from the gift set my friend gave me. This one is homely almond nougat & goes well with this bar. On the couch listening to mellow reading music.
Mood is not ready for Monday but what‘s new? Trying to ease my way into it. 😵💫
There seems to be a bit of a theme in the books I've been reading lately. Three of the five either have crown in the title or on the cover. I didn't plan this, it just happened.
so-soIt seems like a YA book that is really just for YA. There are a lot of YA books that I get something out of as an adult, and this wasn‘t one of them. A lot of clever writing. Also a lot of swearing. Seemed like his diary was like the Mean Girls burn book of this story. He really stepped in it at the end, but if you‘re going to have that much sass, it‘s going to bite you back. Glad he stayed to fix things. I enjoyed the characters.
