The Green Man | Michael Bedard

Today‘s tree brought back memories of the mythical “green man” we heard/read about as kids. 💚

Sweetness in the Skin | Ishi Robinson

I enjoyed it so much! It was a perfect way to start the year and provided a real eye-opener into the lives of people in Jamaica.

The book does an amazing job describing Jamaican life, food, scenery, and settings. And the food! It had me salivating, I could almost taste it all!

A Home for Goddesses and Dogs | Leslie Connor

pick

Forgive me for the blurry pic of Montie Sunshine, but the pet sitter sent me that. The tree is really where he sleeps. We might set it up somewhere else next year.
The book is about as sweet as this dog. Some difficulty with grief and animal cruelty, but in true Leslie Connor fashion, the book will leave you better.

My Aunt Is a Monster: (A Graphic Novel) | Reimena Yee

pick

Simply marvelous. An adventure tale bursting with colour, exhibiting a really expansive variety of ways to fill the pages beyond the traditional grid of panels style, character design seen in the 'monster' unlike anything I've seen before, as well as other imaginative fantasy characters. An almost exclusively female cast of characters with a variety of skills, interests, backgrounds, personalities and foibles. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? Blind representation front and centre without making it a story about Safia's blindness. The fun of exploration and the sweetness of friendship and family: sharing the good and hard times, being vulnerable and honest about your mistakes, and of course the obvious messaging about how we need to rethink the idea of a 'monster'. 4mo

Robotswithpersonality 3/3 The agents of chaos and the Observations magazine investigations leave plenty of room for sequels; I sincerely hope to see more of these characters in this world. P.S. Lord Fauntleroy is a treasure. 💚 4mo

My Aunt Is a Monster: (A Graphic Novel) | Reimena Yee

It hurt to bail on this, since it contains the #HauntedShelf #WordSearch word “Chestnut“ 😂 but it really wasn't working. Too whimsical for my taste, and the premise that the main character is blind and so has no idea her aunt is literally a monster just didn't sit well with me.

willaful @dabbe I think it was on the first page! 😂 Though I did get about halfway through. 6mo

The Clackity | Lora Senf

pick

This was such a fun read. Thank you @Reggie for this great MG horror. Evelyn moves to Blight Harbour to live with her witchy aunt after the loss of her parents. She struggles with PTSD and panic attacks. This book sets her on a paranormal quest to best a nasty spirit but aided by some more helpful ghosts and witches. An alternative to Coraline this spooky season 🧙👻🎃 Pictured are my ginormous witchy cats!

Centique Note: may be a bit too scary for some kids 6mo

LeahBergen Oh, your kitties!! I had a ginormous black cat when I was younger … my much adored Gordie. 🖤 6mo

Centique @LeahBergen oh he sounds very special and beloved!💕 They are such good company 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ 6mo

Jeg I just love your cats. We had a cat called Milly who was very similar. 6mo

Centique @Jeg thank you Joy! These two are real characters. I used to have a cat called Milly but she was a tortoiseshell 💕 6mo

CBee Ooo! Lovely kitties 🥰🥰 6mo

Suet624 Beautiful cats! 5mo

Reggie I haven‘t read this but it‘s stacked now. I don‘t read a lot of MG horror. I need to fix that. 3mo

Centique @Reggie it was pretty amazing for MG - maybe more 12-14yo - the concept of how she interacts with/gets close to the horror creature really sticks in my brain with visuals now. You could absolutely do an adult version of this and dial it up. 3mo

Ruby on the Outside | Nora Raleigh Baskin

pick

Ruby lives with her aunt Matoo while her mom is in prison. She is cautious with friendships - how do you even talk about that with peers?! So many secrets to wonder about - there is an “inside” Ruby and an “outside“ Ruby, and that‘s a lot for a young girl.

Apple Die | Chelsea Thomas

A day late, but since @Kimzey tagged me, I‘ll do it.
1: imagination is not my strong suit, so it‘s just my name.
2: Walk, drive, wind down at night. That‘s pretty much when I listen. I get distracted if I try to listen while doing other things.
3: Apple Die was my nighttime book, and I just finished it.
