pickZack 's key chain has an alligator that grows when it gets wet. So, when snow touches it, the alligator grows and suddenly has fun in the snow by sliding on a snow hill. #ISpyBingoDec with 2 spots @TheAromaofBooks
pickBob and his birds! 🥰 Shea's glorious use of colour is on full display, accompanied by another sweet and silly tale, this time featuring an hilarious attempt at sneakiness and a charmingly clueless journey to a change of heart.
We got a few inches of snow last night. Oliver is in love. He‘s been running around on the back porch eating the snow. He thinks he‘s a husky & can sit outside all day. He‘s currently sulking because I won‘t let him back outside (he was already outside playing with the kids too).
Pond lights at the Botanic Garden's Lightscape exhibit. I could make a dozen posts just with photos of this outing, but I am exercising self control. #beautybreak

panThis was the longest tall tale I've ever read. On the plus side was the descriptive writing. On the negative side were the unlikeable characters and the story that kept getting more and more absurd (especially the fishing and movie scenes). I really enjoyed October Sky and I know humorous writing is challenging to pull off, but this wasn't my cup of tea.
panThe premise of this story sounded promising and the writing was beautiful from the start but the story? Weird, boring, and did not keep my interest at all. I skimmed from the middle to end. I don‘t even know why I finished because the ending was just as terrible.
so-soLargely a coming-of-age novel, I found myself more drawn to Kiwi‘s stories vs Ava‘s narration, although the latter is written prettier. I found the dialogue, especially Kiwi‘s “friends” and coworkers to be fairly unbelievable, like what a Boomer thinks “the youth” is saying. But there‘s a turn here that really clarified the novel‘s intent, the temporary nature of innocence and moving forward when your body is not ready.
pickLove these authors. What happened to the bay bird? I'm pretty sure this is before Are you my mother? 🤣 #ISpyBingoJuly @TheAromaofBooks
