Thank you, Karen. Great choices, and a good excuse to get one very, very dusty book read and done.

For ☘KathyD☘ I pick and with a bonus audio book of .

Enjoy!

Michelle,

I am picking and for you.
Your bonus request was a little hard. The genre books I am familiar with are more than 200 pages. Wasn't sure that you would want a biography or a children's book but I hope you like what I am going to suggest. I really enjoyed . It's only 32 pages and the poems are very good.

I pick for Theo:

and

I had a hard time deciding on a five star book for you. I notice on your list you like Children's, or darker stories and I don't read those. I did narrow it down to this one. You get two books in one. I really like this author's writing.



Enjoy!

Debbie I pick for you and enjoy

Penumbra

I'll pick for you and

For a bonus, I'll go with

Hope you enjoy! And thanks for picking for me!
