Today‘s tree brought back memories of the mythical “green man” we heard/read about as kids. 💚
pickI enjoyed it so much! It was a perfect way to start the year and provided a real eye-opener into the lives of people in Jamaica.
The book does an amazing job describing Jamaican life, food, scenery, and settings. And the food! It had me salivating, I could almost taste it all!
pickForgive me for the blurry pic of Montie Sunshine, but the pet sitter sent me that. The tree is really where he sleeps. We might set it up somewhere else next year.
The book is about as sweet as this dog. Some difficulty with grief and animal cruelty, but in true Leslie Connor fashion, the book will leave you better.
pickSimply marvelous. An adventure tale bursting with colour, exhibiting a really expansive variety of ways to fill the pages beyond the traditional grid of panels style, character design seen in the 'monster' unlike anything I've seen before, as well as other imaginative fantasy characters. An almost exclusively female cast of characters with a variety of skills, interests, backgrounds, personalities and foibles. 1/?
It hurt to bail on this, since it contains the #HauntedShelf #WordSearch word “Chestnut“ 😂 but it really wasn't working. Too whimsical for my taste, and the premise that the main character is blind and so has no idea her aunt is literally a monster just didn't sit well with me.
pickRuby lives with her aunt Matoo while her mom is in prison. She is cautious with friendships - how do you even talk about that with peers?! So many secrets to wonder about - there is an “inside” Ruby and an “outside“ Ruby, and that‘s a lot for a young girl.

pick“…Native women and girls are 10 times more likely to be murdered than the US national average…a crisis that needs laws and resources to address the 500+ missing US Native women.” Author/Ojibwe Dawn Quigley. Red dresses hung up in the tree limbs are there to honor the missing girls/women.
Novel in verse.

A day late, but since @Kimzey tagged me, I‘ll do it.
1: imagination is not my strong suit, so it‘s just my name.
2: Walk, drive, wind down at night. That‘s pretty much when I listen. I get distracted if I try to listen while doing other things.
3: Apple Die was my nighttime book, and I just finished it.
