@sguillory262.bsky.social’s Nowhere Better Than Here was a tough read for someone who lived on the Louisiana coast but it has stuck with me for so long that I had to send my Cajun mom a copy. My note told her to grab the tissues.

Marathon listening to YA & middle grade for an upcoming PD & am loving my most recent reads. Lei and the Fire Goddess had me laughing out loud, googling Hawaiian folktales, and holding my breath during Lei’s big race with the fire goddess Pele! @maliamaunakea.bsky.social @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social

Just mailed off copies of Randy Ribay’s Everything We Never Had to my dad & brother. Love it so much! It will have you thinking abt family & history & all the things that make/break us. If you have a FilAm male in your life or someone with difficult family bonds, gift it to them. And yourself.

Hello Bluesky! (Happy to be here!) I write #MG books and my latest, ISABEL IN BLOOM, is a novel-in-verse praised by the NYT as a "sweet and heartfelt novel [that] explores how bumpy beginnings can offer chances for new growth." My author brand is a blend of tender, joyful, and Filipino-Dad jokes 🥰🇵🇭

Right now is a good time to call your reps and tell them you are against ANY form of book banning (including the "Parents Bill of Rights" bill). The GOP House majority is going to be super slim in January, and they couldn't get the entire caucus behind the bill last time. We can beat this bill!

🖍️ Library Girl Reading Challenges: December
Just for fun, I’ve started creating monthly reading challenges for readers of all ages. Here's the one for December!I started creating these reading challenges as a way to offer some examples of how we might challenge kids to read in authentic ways that center joy and fun. I hope they also help teachers and librarians build even stronger reading communities. It's been a fun project and it's been incredibly rewarding to see them being used in schools and libraries around the country (I haven't se

I don't believe in "good reading" & "bad reading". Comic books, graphic novels, manga, picture books, joke books, sports reports, all kinds of poetry & prose: it's all reading, and it's all good! Let kids read for pleasure - and they'll be readers FOREVER! #reading #literacy

How did I only just learn about candle warming lamps? The best of both worlds—my favorite scented candle with a worry that the dogs will jostle and knock down an open flame. LOVE! 🕯️❤️🕯️
