Taking a break from my regular reading to focus on some Little Free Library books I've picked up.

Morris, the Millionaire Mouse is the tale of Morris, a humble grocery store clerk who suddenly wins a million dollar lottery and learns that being rich isn't all it's cracked up to be.

This is one of those books from Troll, which is a great imprint and has some wonderful books for kids. Morris came out in 1989, so it is one I should remember, and the title does sound familiar. Probably one of the books my mother had in her classroom. While the title is familiar, I don't recall ever reading it before now.

Hopefully, some kid will find this one to his or her liking once it is added to my Little Free Library.… (altro)

I won a copy of A Splendid Boy from Goodreads.

I’m not exactly sure how I’m going to review this book. I read it back in January or February and I wrote a review and then forgot to post it. Now I have no idea where that review is and I read the book so long ago I can’t really remember much.

What I do remember is that I enjoyed the book. I sat in the living room and read it in one sitting. I entered the giveaway because I thought it sounded like it might be a good read. I love anything historical so I thought why not enter. I ended up liking the book more than I thought I would. I’m not sure why I thought it would be just an okay read, but for some odd reason I did. I’m glad I entered and gave it a try since I ended up not wanting to put it down.

I wish I could say more, but like I said, it was so long ago. If I ever find my original review, I will make sure to replace this one.
