bailed

Moving has caused me to make some decisions about what books i can keep and move. Officially bailing on this one. Too dark, political, and graphic for me to want to share with my son.

Avanders I think you‘ve made a good decision 😘 4y

Mommamanzi Ok, @Avanders and @BethM just getting around to this one. I don‘t love it but don‘t hate it either. Am I just too light hearted/unaware … I don‘t get political. I feel it‘s more a very drawn out version of a story like The Emperor‘s New Clothes. 😬 3y

BethM @Mommamanzi I‘ve pretty much blocked it out 😂 I remember there being a lot of political scheming though? Maybe? Lol. And trust me light hearted/unaware is good! We need more ppl like that in the world to balance us out :) happy Mother‘s Day ladies! @Avanders 3y

Avanders Aw man, I can barely remember! 🫢 I also remember thinking it was a slow, drawn out fairy tale .. hmm 🤔 I didn‘t bail on it, and it looks like I have it 2.5 or 3 stars on Goodreads. So maybe, for me, just overall meh and disappointing? 🤷🏽‍♀️ I do hope you enjoy it more though 😘😘 @Mommamanzi 3y

Mommamanzi @Avanders and @BethM ok I got a lot of political scheming. I thought you meant current day and I was like Omg I‘m an idiot (still may be, who knows haha). Did y‘all have a good Mother‘s Day? It was Penelope‘s birthday. We got sushi and chilled. Good quiet day. The 22nd we are going to meet rescued elephants! 3y

BethM @Mommamanzi that sounds like fun! Wes and I got to chill all day which was nice. But the hubs “celebrated” by handing me ice cream and saying I was a good mom. Men 🤦‍♀️ 3y

Booooks! 📚📚 Several purchases.

I love the Penguin Horror (curated by Guillermo del Toro) & Penguin Galaxy (curated by Neil Gaiman) & just started collecting the slightly smaller Penguin Clothbound Classics (they‘re so nice & come with a built-in bookmark).

The other books came from Amazon boxes & Book Outlet.

15 books ... the last 6 weeks. I buy too many books. I‘m disappointed in my lack of discipline. Books, a double-edged sword ... 😫🥰

It's really good!! 16 and I loved it. It's definitely a children's novel but I think everyone can learn the message from it! Children would love it!! It has a great story about kindness, helping, and speaking the truth. Definitely read it!

So, I think it‘s cool what Rowling did w the illustrations in this book.... but I would have liked some prof‘l ones, *too*. This girl, however, is super talented!! She‘s only 12! The book is fine — it‘s a fairy tale, in tone & scope. Maybe a little longer. 😉

This pic of a sunset from the other day in *no* way did it justice. I even went outside barefoot to try to capture it!😍

And bugs has been *into* hot bathtimes during this cold winter!

BethM He‘s so big! And the sunset is very pretty. 4y

Powered_By_Plants Great pictures and youv captured the sunset perfectly 🌅 4y
