Placing catch up with prompts. For yesterday, I definitely count cheese (& cheesemakers) among my #Blessings. 😋🧀💛 This is a quirky & fun foodie book.
I soft released a book on Wattpad! It is a poetry collection. A new poem is published every Tuesday and Thursday, until the book is released in full. By then I‘ll be turning it into a physical collection as well. Titled: Saltwater by CordeliaGrey Oriana Allen. You can find it by searching my name or the title and part of my name. Pic is original art by me as well ✨🫶🏼 #poetry #author #grief #loss #love #motherhood

A great reading month, but Claire Kilroy's Soldier Sailor (with a fantastic audio narration by Simone Collins) wins out.
"You thought wolves were extinct in this land? I thought so, too. The sea is not glittering, and the mothers are not serene, and the wolves were never more alive than they are tonight. They are volatile, they are vengeful, and you have summoned them to your door."

pick3 ⭐ This book is fine. It equates love to being a spice where you add a pinch to everything you do and it makes the day always better. It rhymes decently but doesn‘t always have a cadence. The illustrations are fine. There‘s nothing to dislike about this book, but there‘s nothing that excites me either.
so-so3 ⭐ Once again, the illustrator does all the heavy lifting in this book. It‘s well known that many kids first word is mama or mom or mommy and that often when trying to get kids to say more things they just repetitively call for Mom. This book plays on that as animals are trying to teach their children new words and all they say is mama. This is very expected after having read Dada and while it is fine it is still nothing new.
