Haha! Remember when you called the library on my behalf a couple of years ago because I owed $20+ in fines and you thought there had to be a mistake? Sadly, there was no mistake. 🤣

This post made me chuckle! I need to start making a trip to a library too. You’ve been so consistent in doing that :) How nice of Beth for calling the library!

Whenever I remember Quentin Blake, he steals my whole entire heart again.

I always think of Imogene's Antlers first because it was a Reading Rainbow book, but I think he also illustrated the Arabelle's Raven series and those hold a very special place in my heart!

You know what, I've see the cover of Imogene's Antlers but never read it! Ooo I can't wait to check it out. Thanks for the rec, Stephanie! 🤗

My favorite Oliver Jeffer's book is "Stuck". https://bookshop.org/p/books/stuck-oliver-jeffers/11330221?ean=9780399257377&next=t&next=t

I get in less trouble now that our library system stopped issuing late fees. They still charge for lost books but no more late fees. 🥳

You know what Aimee, I don’t think I’ve read that one!! Thank you for the rec!

Also, no late fees… what a wonder. You might’ve seen my reply to another comment here, but a couple of years ago I owed $20+ in fines. 😰🫣
