Finishing up buying Ambleside Online years 1-3, plus a few not on that list. I will process these then back to the Picture Book Preschool lists for buying. Summer is a more expensive time to buy for AO, I think.

I just finished Theo of Golden. It was rather unexpected, even though several people recommended it to me! So good.

Library book sale finds for my own library! I might have gotten some looks for grabbing huge stacks, but couldn’t pass these up!

I actually do read for 30-45 minutes each night. Plus lots of other shorter times in the day.

I cleared out a church office of books today- tossed damaged ones and VHS tapes, and left some for the other church library in our town- but this is the stack of boxes for the books that may go into the homeschool lending library at my own church! Second photo is my personal for today.

I can meet you at the library at Clarkson Baptist Church from 2-3 Friday May 8, if you tell me you are coming.
Otherwise, I will be at the funeral home, and we can meet another day. Patrons can check email for more information. Thanks for understanding.

My Sister-in-law has published a second picture book! It will be in the library soon, and the first Mr Ugly is already there.

Copilot Pen Press presents Mr. Ugly and the Big Messy Lie …. about a fun-loving little boy who would rather dream of big adventures racing cars than clean his bedroom. 🏎️🏁🏆 When his imagination takes over, cleaning is the last thing on his mind so he hides the mess and tells a lie.

But little lies have a way of growing... and so does Mr. Ugly, a mysterious and unexpected visitor who appears when the boy stretches the truth. With every lie told, Mr. Ugly gets bigger and harder to ignore until the truth finally comes tumbling out, just like the toys from the closet! What a mess!

With gentle wisdom and loving guidance from his mother, she helps her son understand the importance of honesty, personal responsibility, and doing the right thing even when it is hard.

This book brought to life with colorful, engaging illustrations and catchy rhymes, creates a meaningful opportunity for conversation teaching young readers a valuable faith-based lesson: telling the truth brings freedom and peace and keeps "ugly" things from growing too big to handle.

Open Library day is next Friday! May 8, 1-4pm.
Look for the link on this page to browse the catalog ahead of time, and if you want to put books on hold, message or email me so I can set you up with an account.

I should warn you that my father in law is on hospice, and family comes first. If I need to reachedule the open day, I will post it here and email patrons. Thanks for understanding.
