When, after you're off a train in Milan, and you realize you've lost one of your favorite earrings, you track down the jeweler and she not only sends you a new pair for the price of one, but she provides the SASE for the other's return. A shout-out to Laurette! She's amazing! Her work is amazing!

Ciao da Roma...
and No Way Home's 1st visit to the city that inspired so many scenes.
If you have a copy of the book, pull it out so you can visualize what Tess is seeing.
First stop, the Pantheon. View from my hotel window. See the oculus in the post below (pp. 43-44) More soon. Saluti!

I thought (sadly) I'd need to skip World Read Aloud Day this year. Now I don't! If your class (grades 4-12) still needs a reader, give me a shout!

We all know what this means, right? No. Not that. I’m starting something new. Right now, it’s just a kernel of an idea but my main character needs a name. Pronto. So do the others. What do you like?

Wish I could send massive amounts of this to dump onto the L.A. fires. I know too many of you are affected, including close friends and family. Stay safe <3

No, I haven't gone fishing for the past months. Much personal stuff-some fun, some not-so-stole me away. But all is well, and I'm happy to be back. Belated congrats & commiseratons to you all.

Just when you're certain a word and its spelling exists, but Spellcheck says NO and thesaurus.com backs you up. What words trip you up?

Not a terrible place for the @maslonline conference. Can’t wait to meet all you LMSs! (For the curious, that’s Library Media Specialists.) I’ll be hanging out at Booth 29. Come say hi and enter my contest!

Happy World Read Aloud Day 2024! I've already connected with 4th-2th graders; east, west, north, south, and way, way south. Waving to all you in TX, CT, NY, GA, CA, and Argentina(!). About to finish up with Texas and, again, Texas. #WRAD is the best!
