OCTOBER

I hope everyone had a good spooky season! Now it's on to thankful season. And Native American Heritage. And, of course, ALL of the book lists and awards. The new Texas Bluebonnet books will be announced in a few weeks at the Texas Book Festival. I can't wait to see what was selected by this year's Committee! I really enjoyed hello, ocean! by Corinna Luyken. And a Raffi/Jon Klassen combo in I Wonder If I'm Growing is definitely worth reading. 

                      

    

    

    

     

 AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER - 

BACK TO SCHOOL WITH SOME SPOOKY SEASON THROWN IN

Happy fall reading! It even is beginning to feel like fall after our miserably hot summer here in Texas. I have read a lot of picture books over the past two months - and a few of them were amazing!  Monkeypig is so cute and funny. So is Dragon Dog - the wizard's name alone is worth reading the book - especially out loud. Little Blue Truck: Lost and Found is a perfect fall read. And all the Narwhal and Jelly fans need to read This Book Is Seriously Silly. On the truly serious side, That You Are Here is No Small Thing is a must read. And I really enjoyed The Skeleton and the Cat. 

We listened to the first book in the Lincoln Lawyer series recently and now we are hooked on the TV adaptation - which, unsurprisingly, gets things a bit out of order. But it's still a great watch if you have Netflix. The Anna Pigeon series is also intriguing. And, of course, PBS has started the new season of Moonflower Murders and the Marlowe Murder Club.  Becks is a suspect? What is this madness?!
