I loved the days when we all rooted for the underdog. Korman is a fantastic writer of friendship tales and this is no different.

I love this place and these characters. Thankfully, I still have a few other Hilderbrand books to read. I also read this on the beach in St. John & loved that small parts of this book were set there.
This is my February #DoubleSpin book.

I don't read a lot of YA, but I got pretty caught up in this and did not see the big twist coming and yeah, I really liked it. The author mentions in her notes that she worried readers would find the writing style pretentious, and I can see how it might come off that way, but after the first few (super short) chapters I was into it. It fit the story and the character.

Last night I had the privilege to attend the Natl Figure Skating Pairs and had the best time with friends. Today, just couldn‘t settle in with any current reads and so I searched for “month” on Libby and I selected this. #MiddleGrade #ReadICT

The Summer Book | Tove Jansson

I want to thank #foodandlit2024 for encouraging me to choose a book from Finland. One of my best friends growing up had a Finnish dad and a Swedish mum and I was exposed to all of the best things from each culture and continue to love Scandi style above all others. This novel is a love letter to summer and Finland told in short vignettes that flip back and forth through the main character‘s , Sophia, childhood summers with her grandma and father.

mcctrish I spent most of my summers on the shores of Lake Winnipeg with my maternal grandparents and my mom ( my dad was there part of the summer) and while not nearly as isolated as island living, the floating timelessness of my days are so much like the ones in this story. There is no way kids now could ever experience this natural summer childhood and that‘s such a loss (edited) 2mo

mcctrish @Susanita absolutely they were, so many memories were stirred up with this book; my chores, the routines/traditions and all the time when I was just off on my own or with friends walking, bike riding and at the beach 😱with no supervision 2mo
