One unexpected positive about choosing to dress up as Bob Ferguson for Halloween this year is that I now have a cozy flannel bathrobe to wear on cold mornings

Learning that Kumite didn't actually exist immediately after Bloodsport assured me that it did (and that Frank was The Best at it) was just too much of a disappointment for a Friday night

Here are two pages of romance recommendations for your young teen fans of THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY to read next!

We were delighted to be able to come up with so many #youngteenlit titles: there have been several romance books published in the past year with 8th-9th grade protagonists.

I have most of these in my middle school library already, but I'm always looking for more soccer books. Anyone have any suggestions? 💙📚 #TLSky
Sports recommendations for young teens! Not every book here fits our 6 Criteria for #youngteenlit, but these are definitely old and new favorites in our MS media centers. Let us know what's missing here.

I found a NASA document that is a history of wake-up songs played for astronauts since the Gemini missions. It’s not complete, but includes songs played to Skylab, the ISS, and to Sojourner and Spirit on Mars. I am beside myself. 1/2

The first OFFICIAL installment of #KissingBooks is back with a cozy fantasy, a monster romance, and one of my all-time favorite horror authors who has never let me down with the smooching. Also, an assortment of links!
Happy October! (With some appropriate, fall-themed kissing books recs to match)
It might not be cold for everyone, but these books are primed to get you in sweater-weather mode.

Can't wait to make @spinaret.bsky.social listen to "Father Figure" so I can point out all of the Godfather allusions and remind him that the new album is ORANGE ❤️‍🔥
my fault really for mansplaining the oranges symbolism in 'The Godfather' to @jessidee.bsky.social so that whenever anything orange appears, she'll point and shout "ORANGE!"

Jessi: ORANGE!
