What a gift of a book. I loved every moment I spent with this story and these lovely, endearing characters. The octopus was most definitely my favorite. Really wonderful novel to read during these tough times.

Review: One of Us Is Dead

One of Us Is Dead
One of Us Is Dead by Jeneva Rose
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 stars because I read this one very quickly. It was about women ho backstabbed each other and men who did, too. All the rich people being not so nice. Reasonably predictable.

Review: See You Yesterday

See You Yesterday
See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 stars for this groundhog day story that manages not to make every day feel the same. the stories that revolve around re-living the same day are always tricky but this one managed to bypass that trope. I enjoyed the time I spent with it.

Review: Mindful Sketching: How to Develop a Drawing Practice and Embrace the Art of Imperfection

Mindful Sketching: How to Develop a Drawing Practice and Embrace the Art of Imperfection
Mindful Sketching: How to Develop a Drawing Practice and Embrace the Art of Imperfection by Peggy Dean
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Peggy Dean’s book is an invitation to use sketching as a way to practice mindfulness. To slow down and observe the world around you and take time to re-create it on the page. She gives simple but comprehensive sketching instructions and covers all of the basics like perspective, buildings, people, etc.

This is the perfect book to get you started on your sketching journey and to help you practice mindfulness alongside this wonderful pasttime.

with gratitude to netgalley and Sasquatch Books for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Time with kids is never wasted. Feeling off but unsure in what way.

Long day with a good friend. One boy back, another one coming soon. Also some sad news. Trying to balance it all.
