A Place to Hang the Moon I loved, that librarian was so good, I have the audiobook as well and intend listening to it for a reread. I loved Wonder too and years ago when teaching I read it to my class. I watched the movie too.
Two memorable stories! 📚 Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
I haven’t read any of these but really want to read Finding Chika and The Day The World Came To Town. Great list of books.
Thanks! Those two are tbr worthy!
I’m not familiar with any of these so thanks for the recommendations!
My pleasure! 📚
A Year Of Doing Good by Judith O’Reilly was a great inspiration to me.
Thanks for the rec! 🙌📚
I loved the audiobook of Wonder, Carol!
So memorable! 🙌
I have Eleanor Oliphant on my TBR, and hope to finally read it this year.

Thanks! Theo is a memorable story!
Happy Kindness day to you! The world could do with some more right now
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
We can never have enough kindness! 💖
Lovely theme! I can’t wait to read Theo of Golden (just waiting for my turn at the library!). The Day the World Came to Town remains one of my favorite books.
Eager for you to meet Theo!
The Day the World… so inspiring!
There are four of these that I haven’t read. Theo of Golden is coming up soon, I just got a copy of the audiobook. Nice list, Carol.
Audio is great for Theo! Enjoy!
