So I started an online class, and between it and job applications, I apparently barely had time to finish a middle reader book (that I devoured multiple times when I was a kid) before the library wanted it back.
That said, this is still very sweet and it was fun reading it as an adult that understands the framing story of mid-century England much better. I also think it was what originally set me on the path of becoming a time travel bitch.

It has two kittens.

It‘s Jesusy. Which for all intents & purposes is an adjective.

I have a lot memories of Dad reading this one out loud to us when we were growing up, but I don't think I had read it since! It's a pretty adorable story about a group of kids who live in a little cul de sac alley neighborhood. The main story is that there is a robbery, but there are a lot of little side stories and it's all such good fun.

TheAromaofBooks PS Second book about an alley I've read in the last few weeks; both stories from my childhood. My love of alleys may have been more influenced from outside sources than I realized 😂 3w
PuddleJumper That's lovely 3w

A trip down memory lane for #doublespin enjoying my reread of my favourite series asked around 7-8. Love all the descriptions of the food they get to eat I remember being really jealous of all the weird picnics 🤣

Enjoyable when not feeling at my best!

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3w

I wanted to squeeze in one more #AuldLangSpine book, and I was so excited this was on @BarbaraJean ‘s list. True story: I chose to meet DiCamillo over Judy Blume (they were signing at the same time, and I had such a book hangover from reading The Tale of Despereaux).

I loved this one! Lots of fun quotes that remind one to keep hope and that love endures. It‘s sentimental and magical, and the illustrations by Sarda are exquisite.

So lovely!

Librarybelle I managed two #AuldLangSpine titles, but I plan to read more throughout the year (plus the new one you flagged, @BarbaraJean !). Thanks again, @monalyisha for hosting this opportunity! 1mo
