Happy Independent Bookstore Day!! Found this fantastic cozy mystery series to dive into today at Inklink Books!

I just really hope other countries know we all didn’t vote for this and that we’re just as horrified as they are.

Today one of my students gifted me this. Knowing that being myself with them has allowed them to find a safe person makes my heart happy.

Excited to kick off 2025 with an awesome opportunity thanks to the Writers Guild Initiative, the American Library Association, and the Freedom to Read Foundation💜 librarians were able to apply for a four session workshop and I was selected! I’m going to use this to work on writing in an adult voice

UK friends!! I’m doing my PhD at York St. John University and want to ensure I’m using UK books, as well as US. Do you have any recommendations of YA and NA books that involve the supernatural and trauma? TIA! 💜

Writer friends! David is a master of plotting! You NEED this book.

When your sibling does a gender reveal the same time you would’ve if you hadn’t had a miscarriage, and that sibling still hasn’t said anything to you about your loss. 💔 if you have any extra love to spare today, I could use it.

Think I can finally get the hang of a social media account that isn’t Facebook? 🥴😂

I realize I haven’t shared this here! Next month I start my PhD at York St. John University! I’ll be focusing on the supernatural and trauma in YA and NA literature. So excited to dive deep! ✨

@npr.org shared my TikTok about what Scholastic is doing in regards to having diverse books at their book fairs. Despite their statement of what they included, my experience was different. Scholastic needs to take a stand against censorship, not cater to it! Please watch and share!

I’m reading an ARC of PROJECTIONS by S.E. Porter and I just can’t get over how much I love this cover 😍🖤

Today my hematologist continued to belittle my symptoms, including saying “Every woman complains about her period.” Never going back to him. ✌🏻

This year I’m working in a school library with 4th & 5th graders, which is a big difference from public libraries with teens. But these kids are AMAZING. They’re so kind and truly make my day. 💜
