so-soI actually got to see David Sedaris speak last week (2nd row!!) and he was amazing. I had no idea he had a children‘s book out… so I grabbed it from the library, wondering what kind of children‘s story would he write? Well, let‘s say it‘s for a very specific audience as it‘s a fine line between scary and funny. I found it funny, but would hesitate to broadly recommend to children. And Ian Falconer was an amazing artist.
pickA rare 5 star from me.@loved the book (though not lots of information) and the paintings and art that was included. A very quick read too.
To start tomorrow.
pickHave you ever asked yourself the question: “What if a UHaul Lesbian was also a Shape-Shifting, Man-Eating Monster?”
I loved the light-hearted style of the writing for some really gore-heavy scenes. Honestly, the whole book was so fun until the last hour, where we sink into that Romance writing for the post-climax downhill coast to the end. It‘s fine! I just personally don‘t like them.

pick4 ⭐ This book by an Illinois author is about a monster who seeks to find the help his town needs. They need help getting rid of the monster. He asks the witches, ogres, and unicorns for help. But they all want something from the monster that the monster can‘t do. So Monster goes home feeling they failed. But it turns out they did the exact right thing. The words and the messages are fun, but what really sets this book apart are the illustrations.
A BIG smile for a BIG book. Taken just after getting home from the book store 🤓💕

There's an ice storm heading our way, so we took our son shopping and got him his first book haul (first time he's been active in picking his own books). Bring on the storm 🌨
