📚Some notes:

I just finished reading The Winter DollHouse, and I know it will be my favorite Fall/Christmas middle-grade book. It addresses so many relevant issues, themes, emotions, and perspectives.... from school to family, community, new friendships, changes, new siblings, different generations, historical themes... It's very complete. 5 plus

Divorced parents, new school, parents relying on older child to help with younger children, dismissing feelings, new friendships, pushing forward to fight for what a person wants, stealing as a mental health issue, love for classic, beauty, and art, aiming to be better, motherhood, aiming to play a main part in the play, improving communications.... Animals talk among each other, the older generation with a focus on history and immigration memories, and so much more. I need to get a set of highlights and a pretty kit to grab my favorite quotes from this book. I will continue to recommend this one. The Author was also very brave to point out some advice and some truths from kids and from adult characters, making some of the themes thought-provoking.

Honeyheater is an amazing novella.

CHASING EVIL ( For true Crime lovers)

A psychic helps an FBI agent to solve crimes with visions; don't miss this non-fiction.

I couldn't resist this one after watching a few Netflix true crime shows, especially because of the paranormal elements. The work of J Edward gives us goosebumps. The horror of the truth behind crimes and the details made this a nonstop read that blew my mind in several moments. Deboired this one. Must be awesome as an audiobook as well, adding it to my wishlist. From crimes years back to warnings that help the inspector remain safe, 9/11, and other crimes, even in international waters.

Mother Mary Comes To Me is a memoir, Daughter, Mother, Writer... Will be reading it soon.
