Where the Crawdads Sing is blowing my mind. The description in it if the characters is great. Think that’s why I like it so much. Some parts are ehhhh now my style but the rest is good.

Pixies..... are they teeny, teeny, tiny, like chiggers? I'm about half convinced chiggers don't exist. What happens is, if you stand still, the bloomin' grass bites you! Since you never actually see a chigger. . .horrid things!

Pixies are small, but not teeny-tiny, more like large dragonflies, but they're really quick. Oh, and you need to have "The Sight" to actually see them ... otherwise all you get is their nasty little teeth. Hmmm ... I wonder if we just solved the chigger mystery?

Our county is looking at A/B days for this Fall. Half the student population would come on A Days, the other half would come on B Days.

Will they be rotating teachers too? If they use the same teachers each day, they will create the same issue they had in the nursing homes. The teachers would be the infection conduit.

Where the Red Fern grows? Sad and depressing, didn't like it at all.
The Harry Potter series; fun!

lol ya'll are calling out books that I read back in elementary school. The unabridged versions. Black Beauty, Sense and Sensibility, Jane Eyre, The Invisible Man, The Time Machine, Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn - loved Mark Twain books, Chronicles of Narnia - Alice in Wonderland - The Jaberwocky, Count of Monte Cristo, The Secret Garden, Robinson Crusoe, Treasure Island, Oliver Twist... among others already mentioned.

Man when I was growing up if it had words on paper anywhere in the house I read it. National Geographic, Readers Digest, and "Laughter is the Best Medicine" were other go to's. I do not like digital books I've tried. There's just something about having a physical book in hand, used is great or cramp your hand holding open a new book and dog earring the pages when I want to or breaking the spine by leaving it laying open all the time lol oh well.

I love my kindle. I read a lot and it would cost me $200+ a month on books then I’d have to find place for them. I don’t like clutter. If I had a huge library in my house I’d love it, but my kindle holds thousands of books without the clutter. Plus carrying 2 or 3 books I’m reading wouldn’t be very convenient.

I also think the virus helped readers like me because now there’s access to library books through our kindles. The library doesn’t have to be opened either!

I need to read the Alice in Wonderland books... are they as good as the movies or better?
