These were nice.

Read:

• My Words
• What Color Is Night?
• Nothing Ever Happens on a Gray Day
• What Sound Is Morning?

I meant to read every book by Grant Snider at this time (had them all from the library) but I didn’t get that far. Another time. Poetry Comics, tho.

Wasn’t quite as cohesive as I was hoping, but I don’t know that it intended to be.

Impulse-ordered copies of I think almost all of her other collections to read soon; used copies from 3rd-party amazon sellers because I’m an evil cheapskate. I had them checked out from the library and they were long overdue, needed to return them, so that was a step up towards paying my share.

Think I need to write a review of this for Granite Media, which I’ll link here eventually.

Not that great as a graphic novel tbh, but definitely age appropriate and on an important topic/moment for which there isn’t much available

This was fun and not overbearing.

RIYL animal adventures like Wolf Called Wander, The Wild Robot, The One and Only Ivan, and a bunch of others. And if you like San Francisco and Golden Gate Park. Need to get my kids to read this for the first reason, and my wife and her sisters and aunt to read it for the second reason.

Read aloud with my son.

Probably took a year and a half to get through the whole trilogy? I’ll have to check back in my notes if I can figure it out, because I haven’t been keeping a good reading log these past few years.

This is such a rich, enjoyable book, I almost started at the beginning again right after finishing.

Instead I started on To the Lighthouse. Virginia Woolf is now my favorite writer of the moment. I feel stupid that I haven’t read anything by her until now, and a little more grumpy at a couple of my old English teachers and professors for some of the other things they skipped Woolf to have me read instead…

I get so angry at terrible adults in middle grade novels - i have no patience for it and want the kids to start fighting back immediately. It takes her awhile but this girl finally pushes back spectacularly.
