Had to do some teaching in the ratting chapter... City folks and their squeamishness 🙄😆 KILL THE RATS OR THEY'LL KILL YOU(R LIVESTOCK,) PEOPLE. I get what she was trying to do, but still. Odd.

David Tennant narrating the audiobook?! Fantastic! Different plot than the movie, and more gross humor than I'd like... but otherwise very fun, so far!

I can't do it, guys. I'll watch the show, but the book isn't interesting to me, beyond the first few chapters. Mary feels so inconsistent now, like she's not the original character from the book anymore. And she's looking more like a very unlucky Lizzy, which... defeats the point. I'm done.

This is sooooo slowwwwwwwww that if it doesn't pick up soon, I might have to DNF. I loved the POV at first... but nothing is happening.

Was screening for my kiddo, but I think i'm gonna pass. Maybe for tweens and above, but I don't love this for lower middle grade.

The kids are enjoying this, and it's sparking some good conversations.

Audiobook with the kids on the way to school 🎒

I'm seeing glimmers of Anne. But a very different story! Not what I expected, so far.

Okay I fully expected this to be another cheesy Christian romance and so far, it is totally not that.

My kids laughed so hard at the bugle scene it took a while before we could continue 😅

Getting more into it now... Love when I can't quite tell what's going to happen

I cannot put these down

A little slow and sad, but enjoying it all the same

Continuing to be an amazing resource for nighttime devotions with our kids. They love it, and so do I!

Had to pause for a bit, but we're back to reading this every night with the kiddos and they giggle through it! Plus some good conversations...

Screening for Greenlight Library, upon request 🚦

Requested for Greenlight Library 🚦 Oof, there's a storyline involving a teen having to care for a dad with dementia. What are the odds 🙃

Okay this is totally living up to the hype so far. Adorable and witty. I'm laughing out loud already, trying not to wake up my husband, but not fully succeeding.

This is decent so far. Never heard of this author before now

I just don't think I can finish this - it's too depressing. Which is surprising for a KIDS book 😅

I've seen this touted as a cleaner alternative for the very popular Wings of Fire series, but so far it's not wowing me. Clean, I guess, but I'm a bit bored? We'll see if it picks up.

So much intricacy... Masterful.

Oooo this is beautifully creepy so far 🕷️🕸️

Enjoying as much as the first one!
