This week's recommendation(s):

So many favorites this week! I loved, loved, loved several picture books this week. Including Nobody's Perfect, Here Comes The Tooth Fairy Cat, and Ask Me. I loved, loved, loved several MG books this past week. The Cottage in the Woods is probably my favorite, but, how can you really compare a fantasy novel to a historical one? Gone Crazy in Alabama and Stella By Starlight are definitely worth recommending.
