Bailey and the Blanket by Emily House
I am fairly certain I have read Bailey and the Blanket before. Perhaps I have not reviewed Emily House’s book here, but even if I have, every time you read a book you find something different (or I do). Or your feelings change as you are in a different mindset or have had new experiences since then. Of course, you could also feel the same way as you did the first time. That is the magic of a book. You never know where it will […]

Danbi's Favorite Day by Anna Kim
Cooler than Lemonade: A Story about Great Ideas and How They Happen by Jerath Harshita
Shhhh! I should be working, but it is a day off for most of the people in my area so, I sneaked in a few picture books and reviews as nobody was around to see me be naughty (not even the Big Guy, as he’s in his office working!) The Crayons Go Back to School by Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers is a simple story about the crayons new adventure (read via Edelweiss, due mid May 2023). It is the crayons being crayons. The […]

Hearing Secret Harmonies by Anthony Powell
Dance to the Music of Time Vol 4 – 4/5 Books Do Furnish a Room This is the 10th (10th!!) book in the series and after the foray in the war, we’re right back where we started: discussing marriages and books in the UK. Specifically, we’re looking into the post-war publishing industry and discussing the state of literature now in 1945 or so. So where are? Well the Moderns (sic) have hung it up and we’ve moved into some other kind of thing that can’t […]
The Seasons Within Me by Bianca Pozzi
I am mostly sure I have read The Seasons Within Me before. I do not, however, think I have reviewed Bianca Pozzi’s story before. This book was read via Edelweiss and due April 2023 Now, even if I have reviewed this book before, I was in a different frame of mind. It is a few days before Christmas, I am trying to keep my happy on (why I have a bowl of Grinch poo on my desk), and I was in a mood where though […]
The Shape of You by Muon Thi Van
A World of Mindfulness by Pajama Press
The Shape of You is …. Well, your surroundings. I mean a table is square and a door rectangle, but you are the shape of many things, such as of wind (a scarf) and love (a hand holding yours). The narrator is more the voice of a parent/mother talking to the child, but it could also be the child to parent. Each shape that is around us (like water is a glass or a cube or cloud) is shown. And the fact that some shapes […]
