98% of my posts are about #MGLit, but occasionally I go wild with pictures of my dog Leo, craft projects, or really questionable fashions.

In @lynnplourde.bsky.social's BIONIC BOY, inspired by the bravery of a former serviceman who's a quadruple amputee, superhero fan Benji considers the possibility of prosthetic hands for himself. W/its superhero theme, fast pace & focused storyline, this will be high interest for #MGLit readers. 📚👍🏻

Are you sad that you gave away your mother's 1970s era cookbooks because you wish you still had the recipe for Lipton's Onion Soup Dip and Butterscotch Haystacks (with chow mein noodles)? You're in luck! Weber's 1972 Beany Malone Cookbook is available through @ImageCascade!

Susan Beth Pfeffer and Peg Kehret hit especially hard. I read so many of their books and recommended them so many times that I felt like I KNEW them. And Ms. Pfeffer posted her Wordle scores on Twitter for a while.

@joslinbrorsen.bsky.social WILDERNESS HACKS was my favorite #MGLit book of the month. Most of the picture books I read this month were nonfiction, so stats are a bit skewed. 900 books for the year!
