pickExcellent writing with interesting characters, this book kept a steady pace and had a satisfactory ending for me. Recommended if you like introspective main characters, and a midwestern setting where not all the character threads are tied off neatly at the end.
pickA delightful, charming book about a man who has an accident that upends his life, which compels Virgil to forge a new and circuitous path to a changed existence. It all takes place in a small dying midwestern town with several endearing quirky characters. It‘s funny and hopeful. Engaging, entertaining, old fashioned storytelling.
so-soThis is part of the Bear and Mole series written and illustrated by Will Hillenbrand. In this one, Bear and Mole decide to make a kite. Simple flowing text help move along the story. The abrupt ending had me looking at the illustrations to figure out exactly what happened. #BBRC #PictureBook #LetterK

pickGreat story about a small town in northern Minnesota. Having just moved back to one of those, it was the perfect book. E get reminds me of both Jon Hassler and Lorna Landvik. Funny and sweet and great writing.
pickEverything Ame Dykman is hysterical. She's the Jenny Lawson of children's literature. If you tweet, follow both on Twitter, it's never dull. But about the book: a misunderstanding nearly ruins everything. Apology and timing are everything.
