pickAt least one of my 2024 goals has been achieved. ✅️
I set out to read all 13 books of A Series of Unfortunate Events. I moved to audio on book 5 and was rewarded with Tim Curry narration beginning with book 6, The Ersatz Elevator. It proved to be my favorite, with Curry's performance of Esme Squalor and her obsession with trends that are in and things that are out. Overall, the series was a pick, but I didn't love it.⬇️

I stopped buying gifts for my niblings years ago. They have all the stuff they could ever want. I buy savings bonds to put a few dollars away for their futures for birthdays and Christmas. So here I am bundled up and ready to sleep instead of being out shopping with the crowds.
Here‘s my cheesy Hallmark movie blurb!😆 Would you watch or read this? 🎄📺📖🕯️#christmaschapterchasers #wintergames @StayCurious
pickIt was a strange feeling to read this story about German POWs in lower Michigan during WWII. I never knew POW camps existed in Michigan until I was an adult, and to discover this story has a connection to the teeny (teeny) tiny town I spent my early childhood in was just bizarre. I enjoyed the verse and the POVs of these two characters. I did not enjoy the very abrupt ending, though it's certainly fitting in any book on WWII.

pickWeek 9: Historical Fiction. story discusses an immigrants journey to the United States. Highlights the struggles and adventures when making this great mission. Published: 2019.
pickThis is the first book I‘ve read by Hardinge, and it won‘t be the last, even though I wanted a bit more from it! I would have loved it to be a bit more fleshed out, but what‘s here is wonderful—a story of compassion & courage, taking on an unexpected task and infusing it with your own unique gifts, standing up against grief gone wrong, and extending care & compassion to others. The illustrations added so much to this lovely, slightly dark story.
@AmandaBlaze The year didn't allow me to be a proper host and follow up regularly. Thank you for joining me early on!
