I really shouldn't quilt on the weekends. I don't want to stop, which makes it hard to go back to school! If I read, then my brain is all warmed up for the week.

All of the books checked out the first AND second day of school HAVE BEEN RETURNED. There are only two still out from the third day. I am... flabbergasted. This has never happened. What a nice surprise!

If I have a new neighbor with twin babies, I HAVE to quilt instead of read, right? Will finish these next weekend; Covid and flu vaccines left me a little achy.

Didn't own a lot of books growing up, but my grandson is the third generation to enjoy Jean Fiedler's MY SPECIAL DAY. Maybe he'll want "a cheese sandwich without any bread, an apple, banana, and orange" for lunch!

Of all the middle grade trends I've seen in 25 years, I think the least interesting is the current "sprayed edges" one. I liked the books, but the edges have nothing to do with that. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Middle Grade Novels Get a Glow-Up

Sprayed edges—better-known as the province of deluxe YA and adult fantasy editions and BookTok collector culture—are making a colorful splash in middle grade.

Just read a popular YA graphic novel that was sort of like... if Greg Heffley were a gay British school boy. Did not see the appeal. Still enjoy a bit of a plot, even in a graphic novel.
