Landing me on:
A Science Fiction book is an easy one for me. I'm going to read Tool of War by Paolo Bacigalupi.

It was only a duck pond, out at the back of the farm.

Neil Gaiman's voice is amazing. I loved listening to him narrate this story. Basically this story is about growing up and how at seven years old, adults seem so big and important, yet disconnected from childhood. The narrator of the book is an adult who is remembering an event that occurred in his childhood (when it is so much easier to believe in magic and monsters).
I enjoyed the story and especially the narrator's childhood friend, Lettie Hempstock. It was a quick listen and had some creepy parts. It is interesting how much differently we see things as adults compared to how it seems to children.
I read this for Booklikes-opoly Pandemic Edition, space #19 as a book whose cover is more than 50% blue.

Tag and Skyla stood in a dusty clearing and examined the magical map.

This is a cute story, with animal main characters who are on a quest. This is the first book of the series I read, but the kids at school love it. There is an introduction at the beginning of the book to remind kids what the characters are currently facing (the story continues from book to book). The Branches books are a gentle bridge into chapter books for early readers. They still have pictures, but the stories are more complex and interesting. A great series for kids who like magical animals and adventure.

This lands me on:
My read for this space is going to be The Ocean at the End of the Lane. The cover is mostly blue because it is underwater.

After reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, I was inspired to reread the Hunger Games trilogy. I was amazed by how much I forgot or misremembered. Then again, my last exposure to this world was probably the movies. :)
I still love these books so much!!
