Wow. This is going to be a challenge.

This is unlike any other book I have read.

I understand it was a young adult book. I fully kept that in mind (I intend on having my 11 and 8 year old read this.)

One part of me disliked the book, but the other part of me liked it. I felt in some parts it was slow and drawn out and I wanted to shut the book and just be done. But then, just as that would happen, the action and mystery would pick up and I had to keep reading to see what happened.

I did feel it was slightly slow, but at the same time; it gave a lot of the details and information needed to read the story and understand it.

The book mixes myth, fantasy, and mystery into one book that I am sure my kids will enjoy reading. I look forward to having them read it and hearing what they think!

About the Author
Sandra Evans is a writer and teacher from the Pacific Northwest. Her forthcoming middle grade novel, This is Not a Werewolf Story (Simon & Schuster July 2016), was inspired by her favorite 12th century French tale, Bisclavret, by Marie de France. Born in Washington state, Sandra spent her childhood on U.S. Navy bases from Florida to Hawaii, and returned to the Northwest as a teenager. Since then, she has lived and traveled in France and Europe, but has never strayed far for long from the Puget Sound region.

To say I'm obsessed with this 2 grams of gecko is To say I'm obsessed with this 2 grams of gecko is an understatement.

I. Am. Infatuated. 😍

I have decided they are my emotional support animal! 🤣 

Tonight, they ate right off my finger! I didn't think I could fall in more in love!! 🥰
Just a reminder - for you and for me - that we are Just a reminder - for you and for me - that we are ENOUGH. Always.

Came home the other day and saw an envelope that s Came home the other day and saw an envelope that said "happy birthday". I got excited that someone sent me an early birthday card...

...except it wasn't for me. It was for Gibbs, our husky... who's birthday is 3 days before mine.

Guess that's what happens when you share your birthday week with the dog. 🤷‍♀️
I personally haven't seen this guy in about a week I personally haven't seen this guy in about a week, but thankfully, hubby saw him yesterday and snapped a pic for me. I swear; Bear gives the cresties a run for their money when it comes to hide and seek!! 🤣
The newest zoo member... not *exactly* what I was The newest zoo member... not *exactly* what I was looking for color wise (I was looking for a gray/lavender, and they seem more red), but I am def smitten. 🥰

This baby is a little spazzy at first but then loves to just chill and sit with me. They aren't quite as jumpy as Aspen (and def friendlier! Aspen still HATES being touched!)

Also, I'm not sure they were well cared for. Breeder said hatch date was 9-8-2022, but they are tiny! Not even the length of my pointer finger!

Anyway, welcome, Leif (pronounced Leaf; thank you, Kadenn...) to the zoo!
