Introducing Jazzy!! She joined our family a week ago. Jazzy is a two year old chocolate lab, super sweet, very smart, and absolutely starved for attention. She is very small for a lab, about half the size of Daisy. She is settling in well, starting to play with Daisy, and obsessed with Parker.

Went to review this on GoodReads. All reviews and ratings are shut down. Why? Shannon Messenger included some gay characters. A man in a park mentions a husband and a waitress mentions a wife. There are plenty of readers of this series who have two moms or two dads or have classmates who do.

From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating. I am especially grateful today to be in a warm house filled with delicious food while the snow piles up. Thanks to Steve for stockpiling the wood! (Turkey and pumpkin handmade by Eve)

My favorite children's & YA books that I read each month of 2023. It was super hard to keep narrowing them down! So many great books this year! Ultimately, I had to go with the book that filled a longing I'd had since childhood. (Click on the picture if you can't see all 12 months)

I have been waiting for this story for 45 years. Growing up in Minnesota as a huge fan of the Little House books (and yes, I acknowledge how problematic they are), I was desperate to see myself there. This was everything I hoped for and more! Highly recommended for grades 4 & up.
