pickA book about nice people trying to make their way into the world. Leonard and Hungry Paul are two friends that live their lives in a simpler kind of way, they are not very experienced in the world, but they have a clarity about how they see it that benefits everyone in their lives and the reader. Very funny and easy read.

Wednesday‘s #HaikuADay was inspired by the beautiful full Strawberry Moon I saw on my way to the airport that morning. (I was on the freeway so the photo is not mine).

Strawberry Moon glows—
Named for harvest, not for hue,
Still ripe with magic

pickThis book was super adorable. Two mice are cut out of books and go on a night adventure individually and eventually they meet up to have more fun as friends. Wonderful graphics.

Today my heart is…guarded. On one hand, the news is horrible, and the situation in LA is yet another issue of disagreement in the household. On the other hand, I was born in California, so if they secede perhaps I could apply for birthright citizenship? #mentalhealthmonday
pickAdorable
so-soSadie and Sam make video games together, and at times the novel feels like a lengthy Wikipedia summary of their production timeline. I never quite connected with the characters, who perhaps get a bit buried in all their different designed worlds. I do appreciate the theme: There is no perfect run-through in this life. We can only play. And when we‘re hit with life‘s many barrels, we can try to advance or, if we‘re lucky, play again.
