Started this one the other night, Friday I think.
This was one of my first BOTM back in 2017 and had yet to read it.
So far it‘s interesting looking forward to how Finkel lays out the story.

“When she came out the other side, everything was right where she‘d left it. And she didn‘t say a word.”

This is a very fun and appropriate book for children of all ages. It almost feels as though you are going on a journey with the main character.

Leave Me Alone by Vera Brosgol, 2016. Caldecott Honor Book. This is a story about an elder woman who values time to herself and her hobbies. The woman is trying to find a space where she can be left alone and knit. This book teaches that although people want their space and time for themselves, nothing can replace the love and bonding of a family.

Nice little read

The illustrations are very nicely done. And the storyline interesting.
The story is set in the winter. While this book doesn't have much written parts, it could lead to interesting conversations with your young ones.

Not how I expected. Soft graceful story of one man‘s simple life, with historical markers of the 20 century.

Aspirational reading.
The past few weeks have been VERY busy with end of school. My daughter graduated from high school and it was go-go-go.
Needless to say 50 days of solitude sounds pretty good.

Tamra Yes, indeed it does! 5mo
Cathythoughts Sounds perfect ❤️ Congratulations on your daughter. 🎉Time flies ❤️ 5mo
BarbaraBB Congratulations! I hope you will enjoy the book and some solitude 🤍 5mo

This was my #DoubleSpin for May. Nothing profound or thought-provoking. It felt like it was just the author's rambling thoughts put on paper and then organized into a book.

#BookHaul from The Book Barn in Niantic, CT. Can you believe I visited exactly one structure in their sprawling, 3-location empire before my hands got too cold and I quit? 😅🥶 My wallet gives thanks to Mother Nature.

JamieArc Have you read the tagged? If not, you‘re in for a treat. I really loved it, and while I rarely reread, this is one I definitely want to. 7mo
monalyisha @JamieArc I haven‘t! And yay! You know I take your endorsements seriously. 😉 While browsing, I sat down in a worn orange chair and read the first few pages to make sure I liked the writing. I was sold. 7mo
JamieArc I read it at the height of the pandemic and it was just lovely. I have an orange chair in my office that I use to take reading breaks 🧡 7mo

slategreyskies I received The Collected Poems of May Sarton as a gift a few years ago. It was a used copy, and when I opened it up to begin reading, we were both surprised to find out that it was signed! I treasure it now, even more so than I would have otherwise. Also, I have so many of her journals as well. Her writing calms me. 7mo
AmyG Other Birds was so lovely. 7mo
monalyisha @slategreyskies That‘s all so wonderful! I know nothing about her, actually. Good to know my instincts can be trusted. 😊 7mo
Tamra The Last Report is one of my all time favorite novels. 💙 7mo
Hooked_on_books You found some good ones! An Immense World is phenomenal. 7mo
