Before my new book is out next month, check out my first, JR Silver Writes Her World. Buy a copy, tell me via my website where you got it and what address to use (US only, while supplies last), and I’ll send a bookmark and bookplate. #teachers, happy to send multiples to a school. #giveaway #mglit

Worth signing up to be notified when the library gets a book you want to read. Thrilled to see the New York Public Library now has copies of @barbaradee.bsky.social’s latest and can’t wait to read.

Another review from @lbschool.bsky.social Faculty Lounge for GRETA EVER AFTER. I hid the spoiler, but Joella is a fan of the BABY-SITTERS CLUB and was drawn to GRETA’s cover.

If you procrastibake with whole wheat flour, does that make it ok?

My next novel, GRETA EVER AFTER, opens during Greta's family vacation in Esslingen, Germany, where she discovers a cuckoo clock that just might be magic. 😊 Someone near and dear to me visited Esslingen recently and got to take an ARC with him.

(For those on Edelweiss, eARCs are available!)

GRETA EVER AFTER is out in August. It’s middle grade light magic tackling the pressure girls feel to be perfect and I would love to help craft an NCTE proposal for next year if someone is looking.
