Currently Reading
Dragon Girls: Grace the Cove Dragon by Maddy Mara
Dragon Girls: Grace the Cove Dragon by Maddy Mara is one we’ve received from Scholastic (more on this parcel below) and Floss is reading. This is book ten in this series. It’s a series that Floss loves and one of the first black and white chapter series she really got into.
I’m still finishing a selection of ocean and sea books to add to a blog post. Things have been a little slower this week. I’m getting there….
Just Finished Reading
Words of Love by Jake Biggin
Words of Love by Jake Biggin, arrived from DK this week and it’s incredible. I think it might be my favourite book so far of 2024.
Stitched Fabric Brooches by Alex McQuade
By Alex McQuade, Stitched Fabric Brooches is a book that a dear friend has lent to me. I’m looking forward to trying out some of these projects and how to tweak them for those who don’t enjoy sewing for the arts and crafts group I volunteer at.
Atomic Habits by James Clear
I’ve just finished Atomic Habits by James Clear and loved it. It’s certainly a book that I’ll be going back through with a pencil and paper and doing a little planning. It’s a book that makes so much sense. If you’re looking to make changes in your life then this book is for you!
Scholastic Binge Reading
Floss has been thrilled to receive a box of books from Scholastic (no obligation to review). Here’s the books we received:
So far she’s devoured The Bad Guys and Aaron’s new series Cat on the Run. Totally loves them and can’t wait to read book two in each. The Inflatables in Air to the Throne had her chuckling so much that I’m desperate to read now!
Future Reading
We’ve got a few library reservations to pick up this week by Pamela Butchart that Floss is eager to read. The school holidays definitely impacts upon my reading planning!

Fabric Badges
Floss and I made some fabric badges this week. I’ll be adding a little tutorial to the blog soon. I’ve adapted Alex McQuade’s ideas to make these a project for people who enjoy sewing and people who don’t!
I love shopping for scholastic books for the grands. Looks like you’ve been reading and enjoying some interesting titles.
I always love the Scholastic book fayres at school!
