#shelfie We‘re moving house and I‘m so sad about leaving my beautiful book shelves behind. We had these made for us, to take up the entire wall in our lounge room. We don‘t have shelves ready to move them into, so the books will sit in boxes for a while…
My husband and I are trying to cull, but it‘s tough. I know you feel me. 🥺📚📦

Ruthiella I feel your pain. Those are beautiful shelves. Every reader‘s dream. 3w

BkClubCare I‘ve done this; boxed up loads of books and they were in storage for 3 years. It was a treasure hunt when we opened! It will be easier to cull then. 😁 3w

BarbaraBB So hard to let go! But creating new ones will be something to look forward to 3w

so-so

I'll admit I loved the experimentation with poetry shown in Love that Dog/Hate That Cat books, it added something extra to the story that is missing from this more straightforward narrative (which does have a few entries that feel more like poems, and still features fun with font and formatting).1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? I can admire the full range of the emotional journey: being angry on the kids behalf that a stranger didn't seem to be respecting personal boundaries, and that their parents were seemingly trading their children's labour for neighborhood goodwill, being happy that Reena was getting along with Zora the cow and Luke was having drawing time with Falala, 1mo

Robotswithpersonality 3/3 being worried how the story would handle the treatment of the animals, at the fair and their fates afterwards, (the discussion of pets vs beef and vegetarianism was brief but it was there!), being amused by Zora's hijinks, being sad for the hints we get of Falala's life, touched by her late coming to art and her thoughts for the family and her animals in settling her affairs. A good one for younger readers. (edited) 1mo

Would I fear for my valuables?
Perhaps.
But I don't know if I could resist the temptation of moving by dragon if it was an option.

The most disgruntled cow I have ever seen.
I think the black and white title page really sells it. 😆

The Peculiar Incident on Shady Street | Lindsay Currie

pick

Although the middle schoolers in this MG novel are much kinder than I remember them being when I moved to a Midwestern town at that age (and can people actually surf along the Gulf Coast of Florida?), the story was sweet enough that I was willing to suspend my disbelief.
