A few months ago Becky & I got to meet Abby White at a book event. She was kind enough to give us an ARC of her debut novel, now out. It's such a fun read! Cover copy says: "Looking for Alaska + You are so not Invited to my Bat Mitzvah," and that's about right! Check it out: www.abbywhitewrites.com

Best advice I can give to parents: once a week go to the library, pick out a stack of books (make sure your kid gets to pick out several on their own) and then throughout the week, read them together. Reread their favorites. Talk about them together. Snuggle and read. Ask open ended questions.

Warning that my review of @abbywhitewrites.bsky.social ‘s YA debut D. J. Rosenblum Becomes the G. O. A. T contains some spoilers used to illustrate how this book meets the specific needs of some YA readers.

Fundraiser: finished.

I set a high number. I didn’t think I’d meet it. Now, because of your generosity, I’ll be able to donate 250 copies of D.J. ROSENBLUM to young people in need—*and* extra $ to @NAMICommunicate.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. I’m so grateful. ♥️
