so-so3 ⭐This book is the usual question when someone tries to pick something for every letter of the alphabet: What about X? In this case all the alphabets are going on a camping trip and everybody‘s going to bring something for camping, but who wants to play with an x-ray and what happens when the xylophone is broken? This book wasn‘t bad. The illustrations are fun and it‘s a nice addition to the usual alphabet books.
pickWell this was a cute surprise! I didn‘t realize I was adding a summer version to my Night Before Christmas collection. 😄 A great story to read before a summer trip. Ending lines - “ I heard Jimmy ask as we drove out of sight, “Mommy, are we there yet?” She said, “With luck, by tonight.” 😂

Great prompts @vivastory
Part 1/2 #lasttenbooks
Let me say this... once I've properly started a book, I hardly ever DNF it.
Swallows and Amazons is the exception.
Also, I didn't really "lie" about Harry Potter 5... I read most of it, but didn't finish in time for the film. Then I just... didn't bother with the rest. It's still on my Goodreads "read" shelf though...
Shame on me!!!!! Shame!!!!
Are you ready for #CampLitsy24? Get your bags, don‘t forget your sunglasses and we‘ll meet at Camp later today to discuss the first half of Clear. I‘ll post three questions, we are looking forward to all of your thoughts on them.
If you‘ve finished the whole book, no spoilers please, next week there‘ll be another three questions.
The 3rd and 4th Saturday in June we‘ll be discussing Butter after which Meg will take over for July ☀️ 📚 ⛺️
Today is my son's first day as camp counselor, so for all the kids heading off to camp, let's share our favorite books about the experience for #middlegrademonday!
Be Prepared is a graphic memoir. Her family can't afford regular summer camp, but then she learns of Russian camp where everyone will be like her. She gets to go, but it isn't what she expected. Still, she learns and grows in important ways. Great coming of age memoir!

After announcing the 6 fabulous books for #camplitsy24, Meg, Barbara and I thought you might like to see the 10 books that ‘nearly‘ made the list. (In no particular order)
James was by far our runaway winner, with 4 in 10 Littens voting for it. Next were Bear and Clear, with around a quarter of you voting for each one.
The other 3 winning books gained just a few more votes than these 10, so a close-run race!
We‘d love to hear your thoughts!
I‘m thrilled to be hosting your August #camplitsy24 books!
First, we‘ll be heading off to Ireland to read about 4 gifted sisters in The Alternatives, then heading to the Pacific Northwest to read Bear, which was our second most voted for book, after James.
We‘ll confirm all of the dates for each book shortly.
That‘s all 6 books revealed now, what do you think of our final two, and of the full selection for camp? 🏕️

I am incredibly excited to be your counselor for July! We‘ll start off with the #1 vote getter, James, and if you haven‘t read Everett, be ready to leap into his backlist after this because he‘s wonderful. Then very appropriately we‘ll move on to Miranda July‘s All Fours. An artist on the edge? Yes, please! I hope you‘ll join us for one or both books! #CampLitsy24
