Is there a doctor in the house? Tomorrow at 3pm there will be at @anunlikelystory.bsky.social. And there will also be a software engineer. But rather than medicine (@rajanilarocca.bsky.social) and code (me), we'll be reading and talking about books!⁠

Talk about rivalries! Who cares about Wolverines vs Spartans?⁠

Bacon vs Pancake/French Toast dates back to over TEN years when these two series released their first books on the VERY SAME DAY!⁠

Thanks to @belmontbooks.bsky.social for hosting me and @joshfunkbooks.bsky.social for story hour yesterday! I was happy to get laughs in all the right places when reading THE MOUSE WHO LOVED LATKES! And Josh got plenty of laughs for his hilarious holiday story WHODONUT?
