Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today to get through this thing called life
Electric word, life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you there's something else
The afterworld
A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun
Day or night

Let’s all engage in a collective delusion and pretend that I didn’t go berserk when I found myself amidst piles of free books.
Narrator: In an unforeseen twist of events, she shipped home a grand total of seven jam-packed boxes, confirming that her idea of restraint is, indeed, quite liberal.

Just a reminder that the books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes absolutely no-one at all. They are BOOKS FOR EVERYONE - and you can never, ever be too old to read them, and to love them!

Welcome to the top of my ARC pile. All these titles release from April- June. I selected a middle grade sequel, a YA from an author I adore, a much anticipated adult fantasy title, and a couple nonfiction titles that interest me.
What looks good to you?

Fun fact: β€œjΓ³labΓ³kaflΓ³Γ°" (the Christmas book flood) does not refer to an Icelandic Christmas tradition of giving books as Christmas gifts and reading them while eating chocolate on Christmas eve. It's a term used to describe how publishers hold off until December to release books.
