Rambling Thoughts: I listened to a lot of awesome audiobooks this week, and I’m looking forward to highlighting Amari and the Night Brothers next week, once I’ve finished. It’s so good! Hoping to move through a lot of graphic novels and first chapter books before next week as well–but we will just have to see where the week takes me!
