Had a really great time last night talking to a group of local writers about publishing children's books. Whenever I get to talk about publishing in general, I'm always reminded how much I love this job. 💙

Grateful for all the opportunities that have led me here and looking forward to what's ahead!

Attic Ebooks is excited to announce the acquisition of BASKETBALL BOYS by Mitchell S. Elrick.

As a new school year begins and Merick moves on to high school, he has one goal: to make the varsity basketball team.

But it's high school, so everything goes wrong.

Have you read/listened to any of these, or are they on your TBR?

#bookcommunity #amreading #audiobooks

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · Aug 12

FWIW: My last read was Glitterland by Alexis Hall. And before that, The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. I loved them both.

I'm to the point on my 25 in '25 list where the remaining books either don't have audiobook components or the waitlist on Libby is literally 11 weeks long.

So I figured I'd work my way through some of my inventory. But I'm done making decisions for today, so what say you?
