The Story of Holly and Ivy | Rumer Godden

pick

My #doublespin for this month was a book for Ellie‘s (our daughter who will be arriving in May) library. For the rest of the time I‘m pregnant, I want to read children‘s books from my collection and choose my favorites to include in her first library in her nursery 😊 this was my first read and I really enjoyed what a simple, but heartfelt, story it is ❤️

wordslinger42 I was also excited to find a library card on the inside of the front cover with the names of kiddos who had checked the book out. I always think finding things like that in old books is the coolest thing! 1w

TEArificbooks I recommend Mo Willems to add to her library. The elephant and piggie books are my kids‘ favorite when they were younger. They like them better than Dr. Seuss. 1w

TheBookHippie @TEArificbooks I second that! My son adored them! 1w

Butterfinger Oh, how fun. I loved getting my girls' libraries together. Congratulations!!! 1w

LeahBergen I adore all of Rumer Godden‘s “doll” books. I just recently reread The Fairy Doll for Christmas. 😄 1w

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! What a lovely thing to do!!! If you are looking for picture books, I always recommend Once Upon a Golden Apple, which I just think is the cutest ever!

The Thief on the Winged Horse | KATE. MASCARENHAS

pick

This is an odd book, but a very imaginative tale. It‘s a pretty slow unfolding of events, but not necessarily boring. It‘s hard to pin it to a genre, it‘s mystery, romance fantasy and adventure.

I liked the feminist stance towards the end.

Mrs_B Just realised that is a less than useless review. Apologies all! 3mo

Bette Not at all useless, you mentioned the genres and how imaginative it was, all that is intriguing. 👍 3mo

Two Are Better Than One | Carol Ryrie Brink

@karisimo

A childhood favorite. My friend and I tried to write our own book (just like the two friends in Brink's book) about two friends who visit a dude ranch because, of course, we knew everything about growing up on a dude ranch and meeting some cowboys! 🤠🤠

Karisimo Love the story to go with the title!! ❣️ 4mo

dabbe @Karisimo 🧡🤎💛 I think I still have that book in my garage--in a spiral notebook with Jacyln Smith from CHARLIE\'S ANGELS on the cover! 🤩 4mo
