The Magic School Bus: Inside the Earth
Some children’s books just fucking vibe with me and Magic School Bus still does the trick. I love the vibrant illustrations and the mix of comic and words. Reminds me a lot of interactive kid’s books I read as a kid. There’s a lot to grab the attention and keep it on the page, so…

The Only Child
Cute dude
Genre: Children’s
Welcome to the Menagerie.
Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.
What is M?
I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
