Check-ins/Updates:

Before I begin:

This promises to be similar to Home Alone 🤔 The snowed-in trope is fun 😁 Excited to see how this is different from others 🤷🏽‍♀️ Feel like I’ve been reading a lot lately (2/4 this weekend). Looking forward to it! Enjoy comparing and contrasting 😉 👏🏽

End of book 📖

The theme of being left behind 😱 Similarly to Home Alone, robbers are in play. The shorter format may have affected the fun of messing with the robbers 😂 But this contained another fun element: sharing a bed and body warmth 😏 There was additional hijinxs 😂 Bath 🛀 scene 😉😏
