Miscellaneous Stuff Keeping Me Busy ~

• read 'The Glass Castle' by Jeanette Wells and I'm torn on how I feel about it. The cover says it's a "remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption and a revelatory look into a family at once reply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant". It is very well written, the author is a great storyteller and I was captivated enough to read the whole thing - I definitely rooted for the children of 2 awful parents and hoped they'd rise above what they endured! One review I read sums it up for me - "a humerus, horrifying, angering, and lovingly heartbreaking story..." I'll go ⭐️⭐️⭐️ but the storytelling alone should make it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
• read 'Land of Shadows' by Rachel Howzell Hall, a crime fiction police procedural with a female homicide detective. Took me a minute to get interested in the characters but ended up liking it and can recommend if murder/mystery is your thing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Look how ADORABLE my grandniece Georgie is!! I'm sure I'm not biased at all, I mean just look at that face hahah!! Georgia Garnett is Mickey and Kyle's baby girl born 8/8 - I cannot wait to meet her! In the meantime I'm just soaking up all the photos and videos they are sending. Yep that's a lot of exclamation points but I'm so excited! 🥰🥰🥰

That's it for this week - see you next week with more fun projects, recipes, crafts, whatever we think to make at camp :)

Sincerely ~
