This week was good. I can finally see the end in sight with a lot of my committee reading and I’m getting excited about being real with my TBR bookshelf at home and knocking out some books. It’s going to be awesome!
I’ve also been reading a lot of new picture books at work which has been a lot of fun. I hadn’t realized how much I missed reviewing them until I wrote up my review for The Wonderful Things You Will Be. So I’m trying to work that back into my regular posts.
This week I also got an amazing package from my Secret Sister AND thanks to her hints I FINALLY know who she is! So let it be known: Val from The Innocent Smiley is an absolute treasure and I am so glad we are getting to know each other this round. (I totally lucked out with all of the lovely ladies I’ve been paired with for this project.)
Yes, that is a Turkey hat. Yes a picture of me exists in that hat, but rather than share that let me just say that Aurora and Snow White have become fast friends at the library where they both live on my desk:
This week I read Never Never by Brianna Shrum and Beauty by Robin McKinley. Never Never was, sadly, not everything I thought it would be. Beauty, however, was excellent and I adored it. I really need to read more Robin McKinley ASAP.

How was your week?

Ahh your OTSP Secret Sister is amazing! Love the Princess Aurora doll — super cute. Sorry you didn’t like Never Never. I’ve heard pretty mixed things about that one actually. Can’t wait to see your review for it.
I’ve never read Robin McKinley books but Beauty sounds wonderful! Gonna have to put it on my TBR.
I think you’ll really love Beauty!
OH MY GOOOOOSSHHHHH ROBIN MCKINLEY! I think of her in all-caps. I also highly recommend Spindle’s End, Rose Daughter, The Blue Sword, and The Hero and the Crown.
So like all of them.
Duly noted!
