Mom, public ed librarian, lover of the natural world, reader, writer, tinkerer and not-so-great gardener (but I love it still). Here's to never losing sight of the wonders of everyday life!
I know goals are supposed to be measurable but I avoid setting rigid reading goals. 2025's goals: read more than in 2024(109 books) & more adult books. As an elem ed librarian, I already read lots of MG and kidlit. Nailed it: 230 books/25 were adult. 2026 goal: More YA. Started w/Coach! #librarians

New library level unlocked: I promoted new books from a recent order at the end of my lesson yesterday. I looked at the row of books and realized I'd read every one on display. 🤩 Ask me anything, kids!

1/2 loved, Loved, LOVED the 3rd (and final?) book in the Horrible Bag trilogy: The Cursed Cloak of the Wretched Wraith by Rob Renzetti. The entire series twists your mind and book 3 is no different, except for the ending.

This book is a masterpiece! How do you navigate grief as a 13-yr-old? Renee Watson's novel-in-verse All the Blues in the Sky follows Sage as she mourns her best friend. One of my fav quotes: "Grief is like hunger...Every day it will show up. Every day I will have to tend to it." 📚👍 #kidlit
