Everything on a Waffle | Polly Horvath

so-so

Everything on a Waffle, by Polly Horvath (2004 🇨🇦)
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Premise: A Vancouver Island girl‘s life is turned upside down when her parents go missing

Review: This is one of those middle grade novels that is incredibly silly while dealing with difficult themes and ideas. Cont.

Mattsbookaday The ideas piece is where this really shone; it could be a great way to introduce age-appropriate philosophical conversations with a deep-thinking tween. I‘m less keen on the plot itself, which felt like a hodge-podge of different elements but didn‘t really resolve them. 6d

Framed in Fire: A Lane Winslow Mystery | Iona Whishaw

I cleaned out the garden of weeds. Feel so accomplished! My neighbors stopped by to tell me how great it looked sans weeds. Now I am reading a library book on the porch. It‘s breezy but blue skies with some drifting cumulus clouds-puff balls. ☁️
Earlier this morning I met my sister for coffee. ☕️🩷
Later today we are going to Pepe‘s for pizza. 🍕
Such a lovely day; I won‘t mind work tomorrow.

kspenmoll ⬆️This is the author at her best-intriguing plot line that kept me guessing, historical background fascinating, each main character growing more into new roles: Darling & Lane as husband & wife, Darling & a new constable(he is becoming suspicious about),Darling‘s deepening appreciation of Ames, who is away on an Ins. training course, & Ames & his maturing ideas about what he wants in a spouse. 3mo

TheSpineView Great job! 3mo

The Golden Spruce: A True Story of Myth, Madness and Greed | John Vaillant

so-so

2.5⭐️ The main reason for the rating is that the author spent way too much time discussing the sea otter and lumber trade and wish he had spent more time on Hadwin‘s story. #2025 #nonfiction #bookclub #britishcolumbia
