#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView @DarkMina who would have tagged me but thought it was too late, but I waited until even later so I'm tagging you.
1. Calvin and Hobbes reminds me of waiting for the gravy to thicken on Thanksgiving at grandma's.
2. I'm not picky about locations, but I love recognizing landmarks or being able to Googlemap the locations.

DarkMina Sound reasoning for the tag! 😉 3y
TheSpineView Thanks for playing! 3y

I‘m working on updating our emergency preparedness kit. If we have to use the kit I think humor will be important. I also need an extra copy of the first Harry Potter, and probably a book on first aid 🤣.

BookishMarginalia 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Great idea! Maybe these, they are funny and useful. 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Sorry, I meant to attach the survival handbook that has some first aid in it and not the travel guide... 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa But yes... in the Day After Tomorrow there are some books to burn, some to read and then burn for heat, and some that you save to read and re-read....I highly second both of your choices (although I‘d want the whole HP series, and probably a solar charger for my kindle 😉) 6y
BookInMyHands @Riveted_Reader_Melissa 😂 I‘m a worst case scenario worrier already so I‘ve intentionally stayed away from those books. I did find this book on Amazon that I‘m considering purchasing though: 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BookInMyHands That one sounds interesting too! 6y

I mean need I say more than it‘s Calvin & Hobbes? I‘m starting out my year with my collection of C&H just for a smile, a strong reading start, & just because 😊 I‘ve got 11 C&H books from when my boys were in school & it seemed we always got one at the school fair because C&H is always a perfect pick for fun!

As always, Calvin trying to convince Santa he‘s been extra good this year is the height of #innocence. I always find Calvin and Hobbes to be just as wise as they are #innocent.

Someone at church was talking about reading Calvin and Hobbes with her grandchildren. Made me come home and dig out my collection! Love these books! They make me laugh out loud!

mcipher They are so good - I love the things the dad does, like with his eternal bike struggle or when he tells Calvin that the world used to be black&white. 8y
krismac @mcipher I agree - the dad cracks me up! 8y

I am the least Calvin person you'll meet, and I think that's why I love him so much. You know how people read inspiring books every morning? I read Calvin & Hobbes instead. Laughs are hard to come by, more now than ever.

Don't you sit on the kitchen floor with a good book and some knitting while waiting for the cookies to bake? Just Lucy? She is a pretty unique kid. 🤓

saresmoore @Moray_Reads Same here! She hates crochet, but took to knitting immediately. 8y

saresmoore @Cinfhen Hahaha! I wouldn't put it past her! 8y
saresmoore @Libby1 @britt_brooke She's something! (But don't tell her, she hasn't figured it out yet.) 8y
Moray_Reads @saresmoore ah, I'm the opposite, at least crochet is easy to undo it you go wrong 😉 8y

moranadatter I didn't knit, but I used to sit on the kitchen floor and read while waiting for dinner to cook. 8y
saresmoore @kmdartist I love that! What a sweet memory. It's weird being the mom in this scenario when all I want to do is sit on the floor with my own book! (I'm still not allowed to read at the dinner table. 🙄) 8y
quietjenn That's awesome! 8y
sarielizbeth Amazing! I audio-crochet it's such a wonderful thing to be able to do! 8y
saresmoore @sarielizbeth Same here! I crochet and read a bit, too, so she probably followed my example, but the knitting is all her! @quietjenn She's self-taught, too! Crazy kid. 8y
NCNY Adorable!! 8y
Hobbinol Heartwarming!❤ 8y
Jinjer And look how she's sitting! I could sit like that as a child without my legs falling asleep but as an adult they definitely would. Why IS that? Very cute little girl. 8y
saresmoore @Jinjer Isn't it amazing? I think for me, it might be the *ahem* weight distribution shift that my body has undergone. There's a lot more resting on my heels now! 8y
saresmoore @NCNY @Hobbinol Thanks! It makes me miss childhood a bit. 8y

So this is my book haul of December 2016. I had never buy so many books in a month!!! I think is the best way to say Happy New Year and make 2017 as bookish as possible!!!!!
PS: the 3 last books didn't fit. Including the 2 of Calvin & Hobbes

I have been the worst about updating lately! But you all get me: reading, parenting, reading, baking, reading... 😆 Anyway, I also can't think of any #artrelatedbooks in my house right now, so we'll go with the art of comic strips for some more Calvin comic relief! #seasonsreadings2016

EnidBiteEm I'm glad it's not just me 😀 8y

I had a hard time choosing just one #bestsidekick so here are the threeish I narrowed the field down to: George and Bess from the Nancy Drew series, Ford Prefect from Hitchhiker series and Hobbes from Calvin & Hobbes. #booktober

RanaElizabeth Oh, Hobbes. You poor, mistreated, lovable tiger. 8y

My son needed a break from The Wind in the Willows, so Calvin and Hobbes to the rescue! I'm a little concerned by how much he relates to Calvin! 😆

EnidBiteEm My younger son has a tiger costume so he and his brother can play Calvin and Hobbes ...😂 8y
BethFishReads Oooohhhhh love love love Calvin & Hobbes 8y
readinginthedark @EnidBiteEm That's adorable! Mine has a tiger costume from last Halloween, maybe he should recycle it this year, and my husband can be Calvin! 😆 8y
readinginthedark @BethFishReads I know! This is the only one I own. I have a feeling we'll be borrowing more from the library when we finish it. 8y
