Jun. 21st, 2025 02:00 pmCatching up on some missed weeks now!

My books
Full Speed to a Crash Landing – I read the second one first so I had some idea of how this ended but wow it was fun to see how they got there. Kind of… space heist crossed with enemies to lovers vibes, but no resolution since this is book 1 of at least 3. Absolutely fun and I’m on the list for book 3 already.
Not many books this week because i was working my way through a book I bought which I actually still haven’t finished — it’s got a lot of grief and I need to move through that slowly right now. And also because I’ve been writing rather than reading.
Picture books
Rosie goes to preschool – meh. I glanced through it but kiddo didn’t even want to read it.
Grandpa Green – a repeat. about life and memory loss and gardening. Beautiful but I don’t think it resonates too much with my kid since he hasn’t actually experienced a grandparent with memory loss yet. He still loves the gardening art, though.
Puppy Bus – kid gets on the wrong bus to school and ends up getting a dog’s education. Adorable and funny.
Good Rosie – not sure I read this one? I can’t remember it.
Pete the Cat’s got class – don’t think i read this one either.
Just Like Millie – sweet, beautiful art. Learning to cope with life via dog.
Lizzy and the Cloud – also didn’t read this one. Usually I try to get to each book at least once but kiddo was really into some other books instead!
Molly & May – a brief friendship on a train. I liked it but kiddo was kind of meh on it.
My humongous hamster – a repeat.
