pickAh these books are just a breath of fresh air and so light. The third volume centers on the extra 13 stories in the treehouse, the machine that will write a book for them and some weird guy called the uninventor. Chaos ensues and things get thrown out of whack but in the end it all comes together and everyone is happy. Illustrations are cute and love the story.
The escapades of a young magician were the first thing that came to mind for today‘s #ChristmasCheer prompt.

so-soI‘m a sucker for an Egyptian mystery/adventure but when I heard it was to be a duology, I waited to have the second in hand before cracking this open! Considering that cliffhanger of an ending, I‘m glad! Main character Inez leaves Argentina after receiving a letter about her parents‘ disappearance in the desert. Always longing to join them, she hopes to uncover the truth of what happened to them. Some predictable turns & Inez‘s naïveté soured it.
pickGood addition of Gary Paulsen of survivor stories. Great story about tragedy and resilience.
My Harry Potter advent calendar is slowly taking shape now. Some of the contents are weird an I cannot place them and some of the major characters aee still missing, but overall is already looks like Hogwarts.
'Go, children of the Lenape; the anger of the Manitto is not done. Why should Tamenund stay? The pale-faces are masters of the earth, and the time of the red-men has not yet come again. My day has been too long. In the morning I saw the sons of Unâmis happy and strong; and yet, before the night has come, have I lived to see the last warrior of the wise race of the Mohicans!'

I set my book down for a few minutes and returned to find this 😍 Naturally, reading has been postponed for now because I can‘t bear to disturb him 😂
pickPerfect for MS students seeking more fantasy. Main plot centers around Ella, the 1st conjurer to attend the Arcanum Training Institute, and her struggles to be accepted in the Marveller world. At times I tired of the whole outsider angle, but as a 50ish woman, I‘m not the target audience. Good lessons on friendship and loyalty. Loved that the villain was female, and a cunning one at that.
✅ First book for #SnowedIn2024
