pickObviously I‘ll read anything by Jason Reynolds. This is an ode to the “King of Letters” Langston Hughes of Harlem Renaissance fame and it happens at the Schomburg Library (qv The Man Who Built a Library by Carole Boston Weatherford). The guests include Angelou, Baldwin, Butler, Brooks, DuBois, Walker, Morrison and the like. Reynolds‘ 1st picture book.

so-soSophie works for a local florist shop & is applying for fashion design after high school. She has to attend all the events in town, but so does Andrew, the new chef‘s son. He tends to get on her nerves in the beginning, but throughout the year, she starts to not mind it.
3.5⭐️ This 1 was a little boring and I didn‘t like the characters very much. It was cute & funny here & there, & I liked the ending. I wanted a little more romance.
And just like that I‘m done with #monthlymagazineblitz for February. This was an older issue from when they still had the tear-out page in the back with highlights of some of the articles. Here are some tips on how to create a beautiful #bouquet by matching your flowers with the right vase. #luckyinlove
pickI feel like I should start off every Jason Reynolds‘ review with a disclaimer about how much adore him. ☺️
I swear I could hear him in my head reading this one. I loved the words and the art. I love that this book came about because of a photo of Maya Angelou and Amiri Baraka (who I had never heard of) dancing at this party.
I put the audio on hold at the library so I could really hear him. 😀
pickLoved it! This was our first Carl book, thank you so much, Chrissy! Perfect for us!
Mom and Dad go to attend a masquerade party - and Carl and Baby follow! A book with few words, the illustrations (which are gorgeous!) cleverly fill in the story.
Good dog, Carl! 💕

Found this list and am getting them on hold at the library to read to my readers.
Fun list!
No, none I can think of. I hardly have any set Halloween tradition apart from reading and watching as much creepy/spooky/gothic stuff as possible. But then, I do that the whole year round😅
On Halloween itself I try to go out to a party. Since I'm slightly goth/'dark scene' there are a few to choose from. After all, Halloween is THE single most important holiday of the year!🖤😄
Do you have any? @BeeMagical @RaeLovesToRead
pickI definitely would never call this book a thriller, more like an afternoon read that was written well
