pickI resisted this for some stupid reason, I was recommended to read this by a dear friend and I told her I would think about it. Instead, I inquired with Libby as to availability. In fact, I felt rather guilty that I displayed such a lack of enthusiasm to my friend that I immediately requested eBook and/or audio.
The audio is fantastic! I enjoyed this so much!! I laughed, I cried, I wanted to hug all the characters 🤣

pickI adored this picture book. It has beautiful messages about community, sharing, and gratitude. It‘s the picture book selection for Charlotte Mecklenburg Library‘s 2024 Community Reads program.
pickI can‘t explain why but I picked this up yesterday and now I need to read the whole series.

so-soI liked The Julian Chapter the least of the three, likely because Julian (despite this one being from his POV) is a little s**t (though I did like his grandmother‘s story). I‘m giving it (this time around) 3.5 stars (good). The other two I thought were really good. I really enjoyed Chris‘s story and it probably had the most of Auggie in it. Cont in comments...

For today/tonight‘s #FridayNightShare #Poetry I am choosing this little book of “Poems of Connection and Joy.” I love poetry anthologies set around a theme & I own this book & How to Love the World: Poems of Gratitude and Hope. Both are books I pull out when I need encouragement. The third one is on my wish list to buy one of these days.
The poem above is a favorite, good for when things seem overwhelming. ❄️💙❄️
pickKelly Barnhill writes the most magical stories! This one felt a little too real sometimes (for me, as an adult living through eerily similar times), but it is all the better for it! The message is beautiful, timely, and timeless: be kind.
