Hello and welcome my friend. It’s been a whirlwind of a week for me, how about for you?
I received my first covid vaccine on Sunday. I’m happy to report I had no side effects. Woohoo. I hope the second dose goes as smoothly.

Murder at Mile Marker 18 by Denise Jaden
An unlucky amateur sleuth, an adorable cop, and a cat with a hunch…
If anyone had told Mallory Beck she would become Honeysuckle Grove’s next unschooled detective, she would have thought they were ten noodles short of a lasagna. Her late husband had been the mystery novelist with a penchant for the suspicious. She was born for the Crock-Pot, not the magnifying glass, and yet here she is elbow deep in fettuccine, cat treats, and teenagers with an attitude, the combination of which lands her smack-dab in the middle of a murder investigation.

I Don’t Respect Your Politics by Audeyanna Garrett
I Don’t Respect Your Politics is a non-fiction book created to explain the lack of BLACK respect for American Politics. Written by millennial, social activist and psychology student and enthusiast Audreyanna Garrett, I Don’t Respect Your Politics aims to challenge the perception of all the wrongs we regard as “that’s just how it is” in America.

Robobaby by David Wiesner
In this hilarious gem from triple Caldecott winner David Wiesner, it’s big sister to the rescue when a new baby is delivered to a family of robots and the adults are flummoxed by technical difficulties.
A new baby’s arrival is a big moment in any family, even a family of robots. Award winner David Wiesner captures the excitement and fanfare when baby Flange appears—as a crate full of components. The adults bungle the process of assembling Flange, with catastrophic results. Big sister Cathy, with her handy toolbox and advanced knowledge of robotics and IT, hasn’t been allowed to help, but in the ensuing chaos she calmly clears up the technical difficulties and bonds with her new baby brother. A shout-out for girl scientists and makers, Robobaby is an eye-opening and engaging blend of the familiar and the fantastic.
