Got together with friends yesterday and received the best belated birthday present- a clock that has a quote from a book for each minute of the day. Love it so much!

Fantastic middle-grade book with beautiful illustrations and the audiobook is amazing. It deserved the award.
Other great book that month was Grapes of Wrath.
pickThis was a fun, creepy MG tale that reminded me a lot of Jonathan Auxier‘s The Night Gardener. A father & his two kids move into a creepy old mansion for the summer, tasked with fixing the old clock that generates power for the house. It‘s isolated, there‘s no electricity, they‘re surrounded by a sinister-looking forest that gradually inches closer and closer to the house…nothing could go wrong here, right?! This was a perfect October read for me.
pickI‘ve been wanting to read more middle grade and was interested in this one for how it combines art and story. An extremely beautiful book which ironically I don‘t have a photo of. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I adored “The Invention of Hugo Cabret” as a child, and I still found this story enchanting many years later. I loved the drawings sprinkled throughout the story, and the ending was even better than I remembered.
