glacier_kittyA love story that defies social boundaries: The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune (Feb 26-Mar 19). Since the bookstore isn't doing bookclub anymore, a few of us decided to continue ourselves, and this was the last book we read. It was wholesome and squishy haha, the kids were so fun! We're going to read the next one (Somewhere Beyond the Sea) in May since we liked the first one
A book that makes you feel FOMO: Pouncing on Murder by Laurie Cass (Feb 27-Mar 4). I feel like I'm missing out on the beauty of Michigan when I read this series, the author describes it so well! Eddie the cat in the book says "mrr," and I've caught Curti saying the same thing haha
A book where gardening or a garden is central to the plot: This Little Kitty in the Garden by Karen Obuhanych (Mar 5). Such lovely illustrations!
A book with a "type C" character: The Body in the Bookstore by Ellie Alexander (Mar 7-10). Detail-oriented, methodical, and analytical individuals who thrive on logic, structure, and precision..yep, those are the traits of many people who work at bookstores. Agatha Christie was mentioned throughout the book, like The Mysterious Affair at Styles being the first Poirot book, and a couple days later I got to use that trivia at work..Danae was like "I love that you just know that off the top of your head" haha
A book you meant to read in 2025: My Beloved Monster: Masha, the Half-Wild Rescue Cat Who Rescued Me by Caleb Carr (Mar 11-17). He bonded with Masha kind of like how I bonded with Abby. The love of a cat is so special <3
A book you were hoping would fit into a prompt but doesn't: Cat with a Clue by Laurie Cass (Mar 18-24). Minnie the Librarian comes across way too many dead bodies than is realistic, but at least the series is entertaining :P
A book that takes place during harvesting season: Wrong Side of the Paw by Laurie Cass (Mar 25-29). Oof, definitely the worst in the series..it didn't have the same vibe as the others and Eddie wasn't in this book as much as the others. They're getting repetitive too, so I should probably take a break from them..

Here's what the National Weather Service said yesterday: "Fairbanks, we just lived through the history books. The numbers are in, and the December to March 2025-26 season will go down as the all-time record coldest for Fairbanks since records began in 1904. With an average temperature of -13.6°F, we’ve edged out the legendary winter of 1965-66 to take the #1 spot.
Persistence: 150 consecutive days and counting at or below freezing, marking the longest stretch the Interior has seen since the early 1970s.
Extreme Cold: We saw 31 days at or below -40°F, the fourth-highest count on record and the most since 1965. Additionally, 72 days reached at or below -20°F, and 52 days fell to at or below -30°F, with 66 days not even getting above 0°F."
Last March was also the coldest in recorded history..the average temperature was -9, obliterating the previous record of -6 in 1959. That was definitely a crazy winter!! Someone on Facebook said this was their first winter, and they feel like they have superpowers haha! Next week it's supposed to get into the 40s!! We earned that warm weather :P
