98% of my posts are about #MGLit, but occasionally I go wild with pictures of my dog Leo, craft projects, or really questionable fashions.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Fun times today: THREE of @danasimpson.com @andrewsmcmeelkids.bsky.social PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN @permaboundbooks.bsky.social books were returned with something... sticky and perhaps candy based all over them. Fingers crossed that it comes off easily tomorrow. 😱

Plus blather. So much blather. I'm buying THE RISE OF NEPTURNE, but I should not have tried to do a language arts project on it!

I feel like there should be a BIG party for the final @scholastic.bsky.social WHATEVER AFTER book. Good job, @sarahmlynowski.bsky.social! I'll miss Abby and Jonah, but am looking forward to something like GIMME A CALL! 👍📚 🥳🎉

I feel this way about AI writing. Just... don't. The Oatmeal always has such keen observations.

I got three more followers, so maybe it's because of your article. Certainly not my doing!

Loved Colbert's @clarionbooks.bsky.social LET'S GET TOGETHER was exactly the book I wanted to read after picking its inspiration, Kastner's 1949 THE PARENT TRAP. msyinglingreads.blogspot.com/2025/10/mmgm...

I've never made a penny from blogging, but I'm sure my content has been stolen. It's always been more for my own benefit to have all of my reviews in one place. Not sure that there's anything to be done.
