If you click on a book you have read and change it to currently reading it will add the book after you finish reading it. I am currently relistening to a series and I can click on view/edit read history and it will share how many times I have "read" the book. #TLSkyChat

My first read of the New Year is done and all I can say is WOW WOW WOW! Renée Watson, you have entered a new stratosphere with ALL THE BLUES IN THE SKY. This is such a realistic look at grief with so many beautiful lines. Add this one to your collections out Feb 4 #MGBookChat #TLSky #EduSky #kidlit

Ditto - I loved Colton Gentry's Third Act and the audiobook performed by Charlie Thurston was excellent. #TLSkyChat

A8 @sarazarr.bsky.social gets what it is like to live with an alcoholic and is another story that is important for our young readers. #TLSkyChat

A8 And boy did Lisa Fipps ever follow up Starfish with another fabulous book, And Then Boom! #TLSkyChat

A8 Maybe a bit older but Renée Watson's Black Girl You Are Atlas is phenomenal and is one of those authors where I say you write it and I am reading it! #TLSkyChat

Not as strong (IMO) but still good, have you seen REZOOM?#TLSkyChat

A4 Jupiter Rising the sequel to Orbiting Jupiter by Gary D. Schmidt - had me with all the motions and yes you need tissues. #TLSkyChat

A3 Another I enjoyed is @maerespicio.bsky.social ISABEL IN BLOOM - a novel in verse where Isabel discovers a connection between her two homes via a garden. Beautiful story.

A2 Not as @jenniferlagarde.bsky.social has said a villain but Kate O'Shaughnessy MC Fern is upset with her mom for taking her away from the Ranch, an off-the-grid, sustainable community which is not what it seems. This is the first time I have seen this topic addressed in MG. #TLSkyChat

A1 I was worried about a sequel with Coyote Lost and Found by Dan Gemeinhart but oh this was a great read. #TLSKyChat

Bit late for my last one. 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.

Well this was fun after seeing @aishasaeed.bsky.social and @kellybarnhill.bsky.social posts about @blueskyroast.bsky.social roasts so thought I’d give it a whirl. 😊 I’m now contemplating re-editing my bio. 😉 #BookSky #20books #kidlit #mglit #mgbookchat #nonfiction #yalit #picturebooks

Thank you I I tired to get Kaizer in the middle as he has done that before but he was too busy romping to stand still. This one was three years ago in January when we typically see the Sundogs so they are early!
