November Reading Wrap-Up
.
We hung out with Ella and her Fairy Mom, Amelia Bedelia and friends, the Princess in Black and her fellow heroes as well as Jack and Annie this month. We also met Princess Florizella and the inimitable Nanny Piggins this month. I read some parts of both Attachments and Love From A to Z in print and listened to the rest of the adult books as audiobooks, via the @overdrive_libs #Libbyapp.
.
.
My first book of the month was He Started It by @smariedowning. Just like the cover, this book was 🔥.
.
.
My favorite book this month was Atrachments by @rainbowrowell. I binged this workplace rom-com novel in less than 3 days. The characters and conversations are so authentic, and I found the narrative style (emails, but not every single message) intriguing.
.
.
Don't let the title fool you... Princess Florizella of The Princess Rules defies societal expectations in this modern satire of classic princess stories. The protagonist is independent, clever, and not the least bit interested in marriage.
.
.
Nanny Piggins had us in stitches. It's absolutely hilarious! I definitely recommend this series if you love a racuous read-aloud.

October Reading Wrap-Up
.
We enjoyed the award-winning Tale of Desperaux, discovered anything is possible with Stella Endicott, and solved a ghost mystery with Kaz and Claire. We also completed 9 more Magic Tree House adventures! I read the two @missamykr collections in print and listened to the rest of the adult books as audiobooks, via the @overdrive_libs #Libbyapp and enjoyed them all.
.
.
Anyone who hasn't read Amy Krause Rosenthal should do so immediately. Both were quick reads with laugh out loud moments.
.
.
I binged the rest of the Face on the Milk Carton series after rereading the original book for Banned Books week. My top pick of the month was Janie Face to Face because it provided a satisfying conclusion for characters I'd been invested in since my pre-teen years.
.
.
You Should See Me In A Crown is a stellar debut novel featuring an LGBTQ protagonist. This YA book delves into the complex issue of anxiety and homophobia through the lens of high school prom.
.
.
I stepped outside my reading comfort zone this month to read a genre I've never read before with Grady Hendrix's Horrostor (thanks @jennastopreading for the recommendation). The book incorporated humor among the gore (it is set in a parody of IKEA). Though I listened to it as an audiobook, be sure to get your hand on a physical copy as the clever book design and illustrations throughout add a lot.

Happy New Year, y'all! Serious #bookstagramer ques

Happy New Year, y'all! Serious #bookstagramer question: my goal was to finish this novel last night but that didn't happen so I finished the last 70-some pages tonight. For those who track/journal books, do I include it in December or January... 2020 or 2021?!? I'm struggling. Please tell me what you'd do.

Wrapped up In A Holidaze by the Christmas tree...

Wrapped up In A Holidaze by the Christmas tree... what a great way to end my evening! I transported to a winter wonderland in Park City over and over again as Mae tried decipher why the universe sent her backwards in a time loop to relive her Christmas holiday. This festive rom-com was magically delightful.

I never imagined I'd be designing a minature mask

I never imagined I'd be designing a minature mask for our elf and writing a note about how some of the elves were called upon to assist with the development of a vaccine, but... here we are. Hoping "Joy" can bring some fun and light-heartedness to our home as we wrap up this bizarre and unprecedented year.

Happy Election Day (for U.S.A. 🇺🇲 followers)

Happy Election Day (for U.S.A. 🇺🇲 followers)! We enjoyed all three of these picture book biographies celebrating the life and career of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Then I voted like a mother to protect all that RBG stood for: women's rights, justice, and equality. 👩‍⚖️ It's not too late to cast your vote - race to the polls! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🗳️
