I stopped buying gifts for my niblings years ago. They have all the stuff they could ever want. I buy savings bonds to put a few dollars away for their futures for birthdays and Christmas. So here I am bundled up and ready to sleep instead of being out shopping with the crowds.

Here‘s my cheesy Hallmark movie blurb!😆 Would you watch or read this? 🎄📺📖🕯️#christmaschapterchasers #wintergames @StayCurious

It was a strange feeling to read this story about German POWs in lower Michigan during WWII. I never knew POW camps existed in Michigan until I was an adult, and to discover this story has a connection to the teeny (teeny) tiny town I spent my early childhood in was just bizarre. I enjoyed the verse and the POVs of these two characters. I did not enjoy the very abrupt ending, though it's certainly fitting in any book on WWII.

I‘ve been dipping in and out of this book lately and it‘s marvellous!

My best friends and I do an annual reading getaway to an up-north cabin, and that weekend is finally here! Is 40 books too many? Inquiring minds would like to know... #CurrentlyReading #MittenLitten

Read last night for August‘s #ChildrensClassicRead2024 I couldn‘t readily find a copy of this little book first published in 1946, but I was able to find the PDF to read on my phone. I hadn‘t heard of this book before but I enjoyed it. No one should be able to tell bear (or us) who we are. 🐻💛

I can‘t decide how I felt about this one. On the surface, it‘s a fun adventure similar to The Boxcar Children. I loved the way the children worked together to take care of themselves and fend off the dreaded DV and other “do-gooders”. The “Rules of the Barn” and refusal to take charity/handouts were admirable and smart. ⬇️
