#FallJamboreeDoodles Corn maze
This was HARD and doesn't look like a maze 😕 Oh well, I tried.

A childhood favorite. My friend and I tried to write our own book (just like the two friends in Brink's book) about two friends who visit a dude ranch because, of course, we knew everything about growing up on a dude ranch and meeting some cowboys! 🤠🤠

It was absolutely lovely to read this amazing book in the city where the action occurs - Rio de Janeiro. There is so much sensibility, pain and emotion in this book, all conveyed to the reader in such a subtle & enjoyable way. Such a complex and good book, in spite of being easy to read! I just couldn‘t put it down and finished it by the pool, while enjoying a Caipirinha, under the soft tropical rain.

I made a brief visit to Toronto yesterday and had to stop by my favourite bookstore, BMV on Bloor, where I picked up a couple of vintage mysteries.

I have @TheAromaofBooks to thank for this one—I saw your recent post and it sounded delightful. So I tracked the book down online, and it was indeed delightful. 😊 I love these older, almost-classic children‘s books as a sweet escape. All the childhood best-friend hijinks rang true for me, with the book-writing and the dolls and the imagination!

@TheAromaofBooks Twinsies!

Family Sabbatical was my absolute favorite Brink though. I'm so happy it got reprinted!

I LOVE this book. I bought it on vacation in 1999 and have read it so many times since then. Set in a small Idaho down in the early 1900s, Chrys and Cordy are best friends. This is just such an adorable book about going from being a “little kid“ to being older, where you start to put away your toys and think more about being an adult, but handled so deftly and with such fun. Even though we grew up almost 100 years apart, my childhood was ⬇

This book takes you into the life of C. S. Lewis, the child, the scholar, the husband, the writer. As a boy he would sit for hours writing stories where animals came to life and lived and spoke just like human beings….
