“God has a plan for each of us.”
Sweet Violet is the last of the litter to find a home - she tries the bakery, plant nursery, and grocery; but at last she finds her home at a pleasant little bookshop with Alice the owner 🐱 🤍 📚

Born in the wrong decade —
awkward, out of place — ready
to travel through time.
Been feeling this way since high school. Where‘s my time machine? 🤔

I just remembered to pull this off my shelves, @Centique , after I mentioned it on your time travel post. This is the American edition; does it look like it matches the ‘70s TV show at all? 😄
It was this tv show in the late 70s that made me love time travel - being able to visit your grandparents as children in the early 1900s! Time travel novels for me can be escapist fantasy or dystopian sci fi - sometimes a delight, sometimes a disaster - and my tastes have moved from fantasy towards dystopia lately #timetraveltop5 @Ruthiella

The nostalgia! My mom came across my collection of SVH and sent them home with me. I intend to donate them to my kiddos classroom library, but I am going to enjoy them for a few days first.
pickAnother book down for my kids‘ fantasy book club at the library. I think they‘re going to love this one. Clear sentences, a shorter page length, whimsical illustrations, and some higher thinking about cruelty vs. kindness & how to manage deep emotions (anxiety, loneliness, abandonment, loss) make it an appealing & balanced book.
At the end of each meeting, we always make corner bookmarks. This time, it‘s twirly, leafy Green Man mustaches. 🍃
pickShy, awkward Sandra Ferris comes to Casa Wakefield to hang out with Saint Liz. Jess is mostly annoyed by her presence but decides to give her a makeover, & soon comes to regret it. Sandra goes from wallflower to super popular overnight & even decides to run against Jess for 6th grade citizen of the year. Has Jess created a monster? So fun as always. 4⭐️

pickI was delighted to pick up this lovely hardcover/library discard edition of this book, which is the sequel to The Alley. Both written and set about 8 years after the original story, the main character is one of the younger siblings of The Alley's characters. This one was a little more implausible, but still a super fun story and one that I would have LOVED as a kid. These are both fabulous read-aloud books and as cute as they can be.
Last night was one of our favourite school events of the year! Every year, they host a Snuggle Up and Read evening. Everyone comes to the school in their pajamas, and there are all sorts of literacy focused events throughout the school. It's the most cozy form of chaos, and the kids LOVE it!
