      <image:title>BLOG HERE - What to read after Peter Nimble?</image:title>
      <image:caption>From Goodreads: Pirates! Magic! Treasure! A gargoyle? Caroline Carlson’s hilarious novel is perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket’s Series of Unfortunate Events and Trenton Lee Stewart’s Mysterious Benedict Society. Hilary Westfield has always dreamed of being a pirate. She can tread water for thirty-seven minutes. She can tie a knot faster than a fleet of sailors, and she already owns a rather pointy sword. There’s only one problem: The Very Nearly Honorable Leage of Pirates refuses to let any girl join their ranks of scourges and scallywags. But Hilary is not the kind of girl to take no for answer. To escape a life of petticoats and politeness at her stuffy finishing school, Hilary sets out in search of her own seaworthy adventure, where she gets swept up in a madcap quest involving a map without an X, a magical treasure that likely doesn’t exist, a talking gargoyle, a crew of misfit scallywags, and the most treacherous—and unexpected—villain on the High Seas. Written with uproarious wit and an inviting storyteller tone, the first book in Caroline Carlson’s quirky seafaring series is a piratical tale like no other</image:caption>

      <image:title>My Books - Sweep: The Story of a Girl and her Monster</image:title>
      <image:caption>It's been five years since the Sweep disappeared. Orphaned and alone, Nan Sparrow had no other choice but to work for a ruthless chimney sweep named Wilkie Crudd. She spends her days sweeping out chimneys. The job is dangerous and thankless, but with her wits and will, Nan has managed to beat the deadly odds time and time again. When Nan gets stuck in a chimney fire, she fears the end has come. Instead, she wakes to find herself unharmed in an abandoned attic. And she is not alone. Huddled in the corner is a mysterious creature—a golem—made from soot and ash. Sweep is the story of a girl and her monster. Together, these two outcasts carve out a new life—saving each other in the process. Sweep received six starred reviews and was the winner of the Governor General’s Award and the Sydney Taylor Book Award.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Welcome to the Fabled Stables, a magical building filled with one-of-a-kind creatures. Creatures including the Gargantula, the Yawning Abyss, the Hippopotamouse . . . and Auggie. Auggie is the only human boy at the Stables, and he takes care of all the other animals. The Fabled Stables have a mind of their own, and every so often, the building SHAKES and SHUDDERS, TWITCHES and SPUTTERS—it’s making room for a new arrival! It’s Auggie’s job to venture out and rescue a new creature from mortal danger. But will he be able to complete his mission before it’s too late? With some help from Fen (a literal stick-in-the-mud) and his animal companions, Auggie saves the day and makes a new friend in the process. A thrilling, silly new series packed full of stunning full color illustrations by Olga Demidova. The Fabled Stables received STARRED reviews from Kirkus and Publisher’s Weekly and was named by Amazon as a Best Book of 2020. Available at your awesome local indie!</image:caption>

      <image:title>My Books - Sweep: The Story of a Girl and her Monster</image:title>
      <image:caption>COMING FALL 2018!!! For nearly a century, Victorian London relied on “climbers”—orphans owned by chimney sweeps—to clean flues and protect homes from fire. The work was hard, thankless, and brutally dangerous. Eleven year old Nan Sparrow is quite possibly the best climber who ever lived—beating the deadly odds time and time again.  But when Nan passes out in a deadly chimney fire, she fears her time has come. Instead she wakes to find herself in a abandoned attic. And she is not alone. Huddled in the corner is a nameless creature—a golem—made from ash and coal. This is the creature that saved her from the fire.  SWEEP is the story of a girl and her monster. Together, these two outcasts carve out a life together—saving one another in the process. By one of today’s most powerful storytellers, SWEEP is a heartrending adventure about the everlasting gifts of friendship and hope.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Yo-Yos - WOLF (G Squared)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Spins great. Stays on plane. Come back snappy. That's all I need in a throw. Comfortable in the hand, though I'm not crazy about the finish.  One of only two yo-yos in my collection I would describe as "buttery" (the other being my One Drop Deep State).  Plays very similar to my CLYW Chief -- if you own one, you probably don't need to own the other.  A bit heavier in the hand and a bit more power in the throw.  G2 yo-yos are hard to find on a good day. I picked up this glitch edition at East Coast Masters.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Yo-Yos - Basecamp Navigator (YYF/CLYW)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Spins great. Stays on plane. Comes back snappy. That's all I need! It took me a *long time* for me to get a feel for this throw. There were problems with the response, which made it far too grabby. Now that I've broken it in, it's one of my everyday carry yo-yos. The play isn't too unique, but very, very solid. It probably plays most closely to my Shutter, but with a *lot* more power.  I got this yoyo for below half of retail. Not sure I would pay full price.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Yo-Yos - Top Deck (One Drop)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ask anyone about their top yo-yo, and half will respond with TOP DECK!  I love this this thing. It spins forever, stays on plane, and comes back snappy--probably better than any other throw I own. The 7075 aluminum means it's strong enough to take a beating. This is the only yo-yo that I'm tempted to buy a second copy of.  What I'd change: I'm a big fan of the One Drop Side Effects system, and I wish this yo-yo had it. Also, I think that the engraving on the cup is incredibly ugly. Finally, the finish isn't to my liking--too shiny and grippy. Three strikes against it, yet somehow it's still one of my absolute favorites. It's that good!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Yo-Yos - Chief (CLWY)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Spins great, stays on plane, comes back snappy--all I ask.  Plays very similar to my G2 Wolf, with a bit less power. I find myself taking this one with me out to the house more often for casual throwing. But when I'm learning something, go elsewhere.  Picked up this classic at East Coast Masters -- bought from the man himself, Steve Brown.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Yo-Yos - Gradient (One Drop)</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is the one and only "V shaped" yo-yo I've ever owned. I hate it. Uncomfortable in the hand. Doesn't stay on plane. Very low power. The finish is nice.  I paid very little for this yoyo (I was more interested in the spike Side Effects that came with it). Even so, I got it out of my collection as soon as I was able.   </image:caption>

      <image:title>Yo-Yos - Shutter (YoYoFactory)</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Shutter sets the benchmark for modern mid-range yo-yos. And for good reason! It passes the basic test with ease: powerful spin, stable, snappy return.  The graphic is pretty ugly, which seems to be how YoYoFactory rolls. Mine has an incredible "diamond blasted" finish--one of the smoothest yo-yos I own. Unlike most of my other yo-yos, this one can accommodate both grinds and finger spins.  There's a lot of hate for the Shutter in the community ... mostly from overexposure (heh). The main "critique" seems to be that it's not terribly interesting, which is true. But there's something to be said for boring perfection, especially for new players. Also, the used market is flooded, which means you could easily snag one for around $20 ... which is an unbelievably good value.  Last note: A lot of new throwers find themselves torn between a Shutter and a Horizon. I'd go with the Shutter all day long.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Yo-Yos - 2016 Benchmark H (One Drop)</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is the first and only Benchmark Series* yo-yo I've tried. At one throw, I instantly saw why they were so much cheaper than other One Drops.  This yo-yo feels cheap. Coming off the first throw, it has almost no power. The H shape means it's stable, but what good is stability if you can barely get it back to your hand? If something boring like the Shutter plays way above its price range, this plays way below.  I'll be looking to trade this guy out of my collection as soon as I can.  *The Benchmark Series is a whole thing. Google it, if you're curious.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Book a Visit! - Sweep: The Story of a Girl and her Monster</image:title>
      <image:caption>It's been five years since the Sweep disappeared. Orphaned and alone, Nan Sparrow had no other choice but to work for a ruthless chimney sweep named Wilkie Crudd. She spends her days sweeping out chimneys. The job is dangerous and thankless, but with her wits and will, Nan has managed to beat the deadly odds time and time again. When Nan gets stuck in a chimney fire, she fears the end has come. Instead, she wakes to find herself unharmed in an abandoned attic. And she is not alone. Huddled in the corner is a mysterious creature—a golem—made from soot and ash. Sweep is the story of a girl and her monster. Together, these two outcasts carve out a new life—saving each other in the process. Sweep received six starred reviews and was the winner of the Governor General’s Award and the Sydney Taylor Book Award.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Welcome to the Fabled Stables, a magical building filled with one-of-a-kind creatures. Creatures including the Gargantula, the Yawning Abyss, the Hippopotamouse . . . and Auggie. Auggie is the only human boy at the Stables, and he takes care of all the other animals. The Fabled Stables have a mind of their own, and every so often, the building SHAKES and SHUDDERS, TWITCHES and SPUTTERS—it’s making room for a new arrival! It’s Auggie’s job to venture out and rescue a new creature from mortal danger. But will he be able to complete his mission before it’s too late? With some help from Fen (a literal stick-in-the-mud) and his animal companions, Auggie saves the day and makes a new friend in the process. A thrilling, silly new series packed full of stunning full color illustrations by Olga Demidova.

      <image:title>Yo-Yos! - WOLF (G Squared)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Spins great. Stays on plane. Come back snappy. That's all I need in a throw. Comfortable in the hand, though I'm not crazy about the finish.  One of only two yo-yos in my collection I would describe as "buttery" (the other being my One Drop Deep State).  Plays very similar to my CLYW Chief -- if you own one, you probably don't need to own the other.  A bit heavier in the hand and a bit more power in the throw.  G2 yo-yos are hard to find on a good day. I picked up this glitch edition at East Coast Masters.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Yo-Yos! - Basecamp Navigator (YYF/CLYW)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Spins great. Stays on plane. Comes back snappy. That's all I need! It took me a *long time* for me to get a feel for this throw. There were problems with the response, which made it far too grabby. Now that I've broken it in, it's one of my everyday carry yo-yos. The play isn't too unique, but very, very solid. It probably plays most closely to my Shutter, but with a *lot* more power.  I got this yoyo for below half of retail. Not sure I would pay full price.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Yo-Yos! - Top Deck (One Drop)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ask anyone about their top yo-yo, and half will respond with TOP DECK!  I love this this thing. It spins forever, stays on plane, and comes back snappy--probably better than any other throw I own. The 7075 aluminum means it's strong enough to take a beating. This is the only yo-yo that I'm tempted to buy a second copy of.  What I'd change: I'm a big fan of the One Drop Side Effects system, and I wish this yo-yo had it. Also, I think that the engraving on the cup is incredibly ugly. Finally, the finish isn't to my liking--too shiny and grippy. Three strikes against it, yet somehow it's still one of my absolute favorites. It's that good!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Yo-Yos! - Chief (CLWY)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Spins great, stays on plane, comes back snappy--all I ask.  Plays very similar to my G2 Wolf, with a bit less power. I find myself taking this one with me out to the house more often for casual throwing. But when I'm learning something, go elsewhere.  Picked up this classic at East Coast Masters -- bought from the man himself, Steve Brown.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Yo-Yos! - Gradient (One Drop)</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is the one and only "V shaped" yo-yo I've ever owned. I hate it. Uncomfortable in the hand. Doesn't stay on plane. Very low power. The finish is nice.  I paid very little for this yoyo (I was more interested in the spike Side Effects that came with it). Even so, I got it out of my collection as soon as I was able.   </image:caption>

      <image:title>Yo-Yos! - Shutter (YoYoFactory)</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Shutter sets the benchmark for modern mid-range yo-yos. And for good reason! It passes the basic test with ease: powerful spin, stable, snappy return.  The graphic is pretty ugly, which seems to be how YoYoFactory rolls. Mine has an incredible "diamond blasted" finish--one of the smoothest yo-yos I own. Unlike most of my other yo-yos, this one can accommodate both grinds and finger spins.  There's a lot of hate for the Shutter in the community ... mostly from overexposure (heh). The main "critique" seems to be that it's not terribly interesting, which is true. But there's something to be said for boring perfection, especially for new players. Also, the used market is flooded, which means you could easily snag one for around $20 ... which is an unbelievably good value.  Last note: A lot of new throwers find themselves torn between a Shutter and a Horizon. I'd go with the Shutter all day long.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Yo-Yos! - 2016 Benchmark H (One Drop)</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is the first and only Benchmark Series* yo-yo I've tried. At one throw, I instantly saw why they were so much cheaper than other One Drops.  This yo-yo feels cheap. Coming off the first throw, it has almost no power. The H shape means it's stable, but what good is stability if you can barely get it back to your hand? If something boring like the Shutter plays way above its price range, this plays way below.  I'll be looking to trade this guy out of my collection as soon as I can.  *The Benchmark Series is a whole thing. Google it, if you're curious.</image:caption>
