My June pick for #12booksof2024 with @Andrew65 I actually listened to the audiobook with a friend. Her class was reading it and she wanted to read it ahead of time. Long car ride from Florida to SC meant we listened to most of it, and I finished it at home. So so good!
I come out of hiding. I walk down the aisle toward him.
The smile he gives me is worth living for.
“Found your book,” he says.

“It was a quiet day at the zoo. But Amos McGee had a cold. And so, instead of going to the zoo, he stayed home in bed.“
But one day, Amos wakes up feeling ill and can‘t go to work. His animal friends, showing their love and gratitude for all he‘s done for them, decide to visit him instead.
so-soA good realistic book about family problems. Personally, I think its kind of mid and not really my taste. It ends on a cliffhanger which wasn't that pleasant, if the book is going to be mid why add a cliffhanger? It just makes it worse. 💙
Comforts - this lovely reread and knitting, or even just thoughts of knitting are an antidote to the anxieties of the world.
@Cathythoughts I thought of you when I bought this wool yesterday. 😊 Donegal tweed. 🐑
Had an impromptu trip for fun to the cities and bookshops are always on the agenda. 😁
The tagged book was such a quietly lovely read several years ago on Kindle, that I had to get a paper copy for a reread. Who knew the life of a snail was so fascinating? Plus, Elisabeth is not just writing about snails in the abstract, but about the actual snail she unexpectedly shared her life with while she was bedridden for months.
