Loved this book!! It started with a happy family of four and tragically the youngest child died. It is about how this one horrific incident tore the family apart and how it affected all of them. It was very, very sad.
I liked how it was told through all four of their points of view, including the dead little boy. It was beautifully written.

An interesting read all about breathing, how to breathe better, how breathing correctly can help heal our bodies. Yoga practitioners and meditation experts have long-held beliefs about using breathing techniques to calm and center our nervous systems – this book touches on this plus much more. The author’s extensive research of the science and history of breathing will make you inhale and exhale insightfully.

Fans of Simon vs. the Homosapien Agenda, the movie Love, Simon, or the new Hulu series Love, Victor are in for a small treat with Albertalli's novella Love, Creekwood. We get a glimpse back into the lives of Simon, Bram, Leah, and Abby as they email each other over the course of their Freshman year at college.
Not overly plot heavy but as a fan of these characters it was nice to see what they were up to again.

Evangeline is a haunt huntress in training, studying under her grandmother in the Louisiana bayou, always on the prowl for banshees, grims, and other monsters lurking about. Evangeline is impatiently waiting for her familiar to arrive, a sure sign of her huntress status, when her and her grandmother get called to help a mysterious, bedridden client in New Orleans. After her grandmother gets hurt, and her familiar is nowhere to be found, will Evangeline have what it takes to solve the case all on her own? Full of twists and turns, this is the perfect page-turning, supernatural mystery for fans of Small Spaces and City of Bones.

A beautifully illustrated picture book about the relationships we share. It also makes a great bedtime story, one that you would want to read over and over again.
