pickMatthew Prince creating events in his head in times of stress reminded me so much of Jenna Hunterson from Waitress creating a new pie in her mind. 🥹 Was really sad that there wasn‘t a recipe in the book for the chai cookies with eggnog icing. I want to make them so bad. I really loved the focus on mental health in this one around anxiety. And Matthew‘s mom can get stuffed. ⬇️
Sammy tries to explain Santa to a not-so-bright turkey. This is a long (relatively speaking) picture book with very simple words on each page. Probably good for a 2-3 year old

panThe universe is run by bureaucrats. Every little thing that ever happens in the universe requires paperwork and approvals, including dying. Nathan Haynes refuses to ever sign a contract even when he‘s shot dead by a serial killer. When he refuses to sign the waiver of liability required to go to a final resting place, he‘s sent back to live again, picking up where he left off. After multiple deaths, the bureaucrats come to earth to try to sneak ⬇️
I really enjoyed this #AtoZReadathon challenge, just 4 away from a full set! I'll tag my reads in the comments. It's been a great month with some fantastic reads. Thank you for hosting @Texreader
so-soI‘m not the biggest Fallon fan, but this is a good #PictureBook for a quick story time for really young kids, especially for animal sounds and identification. It‘s also pretty basic. I‘m not completely in love with the illustrations either. I had hoped for more. #BBRC #LetterY
Nine books for May! It was very hard to pick a favorite book for May but if forced to, I‘d pick the tagged book. Followed by a tie between Queen of the South and Sea of Tranquility. Four books this month for #Spain #foodandlit. Two books for #authoramonth. Two for #readingOceania #Palau and #NewZealand and of course all of them for #litsyatoz but mostly for #letterQ and #letterY
pickAn older woman (40) 🙄 (the “silver fox“) escapes the city life when her boyfriend cheats on her, moving into the #NewZealand‘s Alps. Turns out she‘s a handy carpenter turning a bus into a home until she can build her dream home. Neighbor problems-love affair/getting over ex boyfriend/disputes over easement/and the prospective loss of her view from her new home ensue. And some heat from that love affair. Well written, but not really my thing. ⬇️
I decided to go for a quick light book for a change right now. And I need a #letterY book for #litsyatoz
pickA schoolteacher co-writes a book with her now deceased Russian neighbor about spies in Russia. But the neighbor really was a spy and her part of the story is true, revealing murder and more in Russia. With the Russians hot on the teacher‘s heels to find the missing parts of the true story, the teacher goes on the run with a handsome American spy. Sounds corny as heck, but it‘s really complex, well-written, and fun. #litsyAtoZ #letterY
