Thank you for the book, I followed your instructions and ordered already the 2nd book😃I‘m going to use the key as a bookmark, so pretty to not use it😍That candle smells so good and I even like the card and that vintage touch of the envelope. Thank you so much for this #ThinkingOfYou meaningful detail. Thank you for having me in your thoughts, for this surprise. I‘m very grateful for them but more importantly for having your friendship.
😘♥️♥️♥️

Gissy @mabel I forgot to mention the chocolate 🍫 delicious 😋👌 7mo

Than you @MommyofTwo for this lovely card. As you know, I love the stickers😍👌It was a lovely gesture to send the card. Yes, I miss the #CBBC this year but I have great recommendations from the books we shared. A big hug to you and your family. Thank you to @Mommamanzi for a 2023 successful #CBBC

I love the mug. I really like Rae Dunn Disney villains mug collection. They are so pretty. I haven‘t seen this one, I have seen them only with the face of the villain, this one is gorgeous😍The candle 🕯smells so good👌Love the book selection, yes!!! 📚
Thank you my friend🥰The distance have not stopped us to continue with this friendship. We should plan to have a Litsy encounter with @Chrisdyreadit too in the future🤗
Thank you!😘

mabell You‘re welcome! The books are from your list - except 2. I didn‘t know if you already had the first book in the Left Handed Booksellers, so I got that one too to be safe. 😊 The cozy looked like a unique premise, and sounded fun! Hopefully it‘s good 😬 A Litsy get together would be so fun! Books and meeting friends ❤️ 12mo
mabell And I had to get the mug because October is perfect for villains, and it matched the toy Chanel Mia received last year 😄🐶❤️ 12mo
Gissy @mabell No I have not have the books and the cozy book sounds amazing. I really like to read thrillers, cozy mysteries and spooky stories. I usually read them during this time of the year but I will change that for next year and I will add this genre in my tbr every month. I have amazing books that I want to read and one month is not enough. It will be like autumn vibes the whole year

Gissy @mabell Yes, she loved it. I don‘t know what that little dog did to me but I love her. She is so cute! Now I spend time watching reels about dogs😳😂Where I live there is a big cute little dog, because she has only 6 months, but is big. Her name is Luna and every time I see her I need to play with her a couple of minutes. I think I can have a volunteer job working with dogs. I‘m think I‘m getting older😂😂😂 12mo
mabell I agree about the fall season books! It‘s such a short time to get to all the reads! I have quite a few left on my list and soon it will be holiday reads! I plan to start Witches Abroad next 😄 12mo
mabell I love that you‘ve become a dog person!! ❤️🐶 How is Chanel doing? Still driving? 🤣 Luna sounds like a sweetie. You should volunteer! A great way to get more puppy time 💕 12mo
Gissy @mabell I will add 3 books each month but I also like to read books about Christmas. I have a problem 😂Today is raining, very hard, so guess what? I am drinking right now one of those chocolate bombs😋well the half of one piece just to say that I‘m watching the calories 😜But the instructions were there and I didn‘t read them, I just looked that they were chocolate🤦🏽‍♀️Also, the apt smells so good because I‘m using the candle😌 12mo
Gissy @mabell She is ok sweet as always. Yesterday I took her to the vet but was for the grooming because they offer that service too. When I picked her up (is that the correct way to say it?) I have to spend like half an hour to calm her, kiss her give her water, treats and then we can go. She has me in her paw 😆I really enjoy those moments with her, just the two of us🖤 12mo
mabell Going to the vet/groomer can be stressful! I love that you give her special time after picking her up! 💕💕 I‘m so glad you‘re enjoying your chocolate (in moderation 🤣) and candle! With the rain, it sounds like such a cozy day! 12mo

@Chrissyreadit what a magical, meaningful birthday box! ✨So pretty, meaningful because we have been talking about all these topics. I‘m obsessed with everything. Those prints are so pretty!😍 I read your card and I started the search about ravens and crows😃That card is so pretty, it will be in one my shelves. I should buy a frame for it as I will do for the prints. The card decks so perfect. I like to know more about crystals⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) I have received some as gifts from swaps. I took my time to post the picture because I was reading the deck books. The crow tarot deck is beautiful too. I like the prints😍That candle smell so good and I like the glass container👌The booksleeve not only is pretty but practical, it has a pocket and a bookmark. I confess, I‘m a booksleevecoholic🙋🏽‍♀️🤣The pastries looks delicious, I will try them tomorrow😋⬇️ 13mo
Gissy (Cont.) and my little crows will be part of my decoration, oh yes. You know I use a lot your decoration items, love them❤️
I‘m very grateful for your friendship all these years and for these gifts because you took time to chose them. You are knowing me very well. Every item is so meaningful for me. Thank you so much😘🍁🍂💛🧡🤎

Gracias Thanks by Pat Mora, illustrated by John Parra, is a Pura Belprè award winning bilingual F picture book about being thankful, perfect for a classroom RA. The theme of the book is ultra relevant this time of year, and the text is in both English and Spanish, deeming it a #ClassroomLibrary essential. Listen to a bilingual read aloud here: http://www.patmora.com/books/gracias-thanks/ #UCFLAE3414F17

DrSpalding Love, love, love this book selection. This would be an excellent read aloud for this upcoming week. EL 24 is perfect! 7y

This bilingual read is a great story for any time of year. Following one boy through his gratitude for every days joys, this is a wonderful and diverse story to segue into recognizing all we have to be grateful for.

Short enough for a squirrelly storytime crowd, and a fun story to pair with tracing kid hands and writing down a gratitude.
