Candace Fleming’s book The Enigma Girls won a 2025 Sibert Honor. In the latest episode of The Yarn, Fleming takes us behind the scenes of how it was made. It’s always interesting to talk with nonfiction authors, and Fleming is one of the best ever.

Learning how to use a camera, so that I can help my yearbook students. Changing settings, playing around, seeing what I can do. Are they great? No. Will I get better? Yes. Am I great at hearing feedback? I will get better.

Library tip: need a place to study? To hang out? To rest? Visit your local library. Libraries are one of the few true third spaces left where you aren't expected to spend money while there. Enjoy some quiet time surrounded by books and community. #booksky 📚💙 #libsky

I have three favorites and the one I choose to drink out of sets the tone for the day. Pictures and explanations will follow, tomorrow. Too bad I saw this post the day before the new tariffs were announced. After I post my three coffee cups I may need to share my tea cups, for balance.
I can’t explain this with science but the cup you drink your coffee out of, matters.

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers! I am adding mine below, one each day.
