Congratulations on a great month! I (quite literally) just read the blurb in Indie Next, read the jacket copy and the blurbs on bookshop.org, and hit order on my e-reader. So excited to read this. ❤️

Discovered a new (to me) bookstore in Petoskey,MI—McLean & Eakin Booksellers. While I love the new mg/ya/pb section, this classic kids section is a treasure chest—Nancy, Laura, Meg Murray, Curzon, Aslan, Harriet…and so many more.

These are adorable! I didn’t find them on your shop—will there be a link? And do you ever make mittens?

💯… I could have kept adding Snoopys and books, but this made my obsession look way more normal 🤣! (The blue cup is my favorite—I’ve had it since the early aughts.)

My phone caught the fiery sky and silver-smooth water. I just wish there was a way to capture the soft air that made this sunset so perfect.

This guy came back so many times that I finally took his picture. He always landed on A and Z! I was editing an economic report, and I think he was trying to tell me something. 😂 Maybe he was saying that I should enjoy the beautiful lake day and shut my laptop!

Something seems off about eating that one! I love the memes. In keeping with the odd fish theme, people claim to have spotted an 8-ft Sturgeon near the surface of our lake in Northern MI (they live in the deep/cold water). Glad the sturgeon hasn’t been inspired by the catfish news!

Independence Day and all I remember
Was a midnight rainbow that fell from the sky
As I stand on the beach, I slowly surrender
To the child in me that can't say goodbye

The rockets in the air and the people everywhere
Put away their differences for a while

I rarely use the “auto adjust” feature on my iPhone, but it did this picture justice. The sky was wondrous in Northern Michigan on Saturday night.

No better place to read about the water cycle than the lake. There are approximately 15,000,000,000,000,000 “Drops” posing for this photo of Mullett Lake (MI).

Couldn’t agree more! Here’s the best friend to everyone in our house after a hard day being awesome. ❤️

If I were a town, this would be my vibe. This water tower beside the interstate made my day!

I just did yoga with the giraffes at the Detroit Zoo. I think Mpenzi would love to have someone read Snap! Crunch! Munch? to him. He was very interested in watching yoga.

Aussie doodle? Ours is sure it’s hooman, too.

Not a meat replacement, but I love Shelly Westerhausen Worcel’s cookbook (below). Her charcuterie cookbooks are beautiful, too. Every recipe is vegetarian, and they all include a “meat suggestion.” Perfect for a mix of eaters. The soup cookbook includes a “new twist” to use each leftover, too.

Thanks for sharing Margaux’s favorites. I love seeing kids’ lists! I read a lot of middle grade in 2024, below are my favorites😀

This already made me laugh 😂

Storms, sharks, & bad guys with millions to lose! Summer excitement heats up when two 12-y-o best friends see a chance for a reward, an adventure, and to be heroes. Finn thinks he's ready to head to sea but finds Emilio's talent at reinventing electronics may be key to staying alive! #2025pit #MG

The Plan:
✅Impress classmates with an adventure
✅Earn a big reward for info on the crime
❌Take the boat and be back the next morning... oops

A bad decision for the right reasons might make 12-y-o Finn and Emilio heroes, or it might be their last!
