I love asking our library to buy books! That's my first line of inquiry. Then Thrift or Abe. Then if all of those fail, a full price purchase. :) I loved A Place to Hang the Moon! I thought it was so well done. Our youngest adores the Brambly Hedge books. The illustrations transport us into their world. What a lovely roundup of good reads, and I enjoyed reading your poems and reflecting on the moments you capture so thoughtfully in them. I'm listening to Emma M Lion for the second time right now, so I think we have very similar tastes. Thank you for linking to my liturgy for items thrown away too! It's so encouraging when someone reads something I wrote a while ago, so thank you for that boost.
Thanks so much for reading and commenting, Abigail! And for the encouragement on my poetry 💛 you're welcome re linking to your post! I loved it, it was so relatable and I love sharing the good things I've read on here!
I love getting good book recommendations, especially for my kiddos, so I want to pass mine on too! It's so cool to connect with people across the world over the same stories!
Love all of this! My toddler daughter is very into Brambly Hedge right now, she's always pointing at the pictures and asking, "where's Wilfred?" haha. And you know that I love Emma Lion! Just started the series for a second time, listening to the audio this time and it's so delightful. My library also denied my request tragically.
Oh the story telling in the Summer Storm poem is incredible! 😍 You should try your hand at a short story!! 😉 So glad you liked the playlist and I am also keen for Jess Ray's new album!! 😁 Beatrix Potter is my FAV illustrator and the Brambly Hedge pictures are of the same variety, just beautiful!! As always, love your work! 🥰
Thanks so much Alyssa! 🥰 Short stories are fun but I'm not great at making interesting stuff up 🤣 yes you're right, it is very Beatrix potter-esque isn't it? Love her stories too! My mum just recently found a whole audio collection of her stories that the girls will enjoy listening to. Such fun stories!
The Afternoon Nap poem was my favorite of the ones you included here. I love the recommendations, adding them to my list and my kiddos’ book list! Thank you, Kym ❤️
I’m saving the rest of Emma M for my postpartum reads. I’m soo excited to finish them! I wasn’t really into the hype for that newest space one but maybe I’ll give it a try.
You have more self control than me! I'm checking libby every day to see if my next hold is ready 😂 and also, am I reading correctly that you're pregnant? Congratulations 🎉
I didn't expect to like it as much as I did, honestly!! But I'm glad I read it. It was completely far fetched (but also strangely believable?) but it is sci-fi after all 😉
Beautiful poems and a great roundup! We are all huge Brambly Hedge fans! I want to frame all of the illustrations haha. Also I love that you are asking your library to stock certain books! I’ve honestly never thought to do that 😂 Might do that with the Emma Lion series as well because I’m dying to read!
Aren't they just stunning!? You could study them for ages!
Saves me buying them 😅 our book shelves are bursting so trying to be very mindful about what books we buy, but man, it's hard. So many lovely books out there!!
Definitely do it with the Emma Lion series. They're SO GOOD. And totally clean so just the perfect comfort read/listen. The audio is really well done too. Like watching a regency tv show but just listening instead 👌🏼👌🏼

I agree! Meeting people here who love good books and love Jesus has been so deeply encouraging.

Thanks so much for commenting Hannah! Those illustrations have so much lovely detail! The audio is so well done. The voice acting is delightful!
Really enjoyed the ‘My Colleagues and I’ poem ☺️
Thanks so much Rhianon! 🥰

I am 🤭 I never announced it to the world but I’m 37wks.
That's so soon! All the best in the last weeks, at birth and during your post partum period 💛🥰
