@dabbe Denise, I have sent you a birthday card twice, I'm pretty sure I have your correct address, but in case I don't, could you email it to me at liseworks7@hotmail.com . It came back with this sticker again.

@Karisimo.
I read this one 3 years ago for middle grade March: Award Winners Edition.

Waiting for my hair to dry, so obviously I should read. Enjoying this so far, not my usual read.
Courtney, would you mind dropping me an email at robinb.litsy@gmail.com? I have a question for you. Thanks! 😊

Currently working on reading some books centered around social justice issues so I have some good recs to give my students when school starts back up in a few weeks!
Vermont is blessed to have Julia Alvarez as a long-time resident of the state. She read a story today about undocumented workers in Vermont that she‘s written for an anthology of Vermont writers. She also spent a good deal of time answering questions with great insight and passion. During the reading I looked around and found I was not the only one with tears in their eyes. A writer with a great big heart. #vermont
Not a lot of time for personal reading this month, but my students are reading my favorite author so it's not all bad! #teacherlife #defenddaca #diversereading
How I justify totally unnecessary and indulgent book purchases:
"Well one is a kid's book and one is on sale, so it really isn't that much!"
What I should be doing is returning these to the store and tackling my already out of control TBR
I'm sitting in a city council meeting where my city may or may not adopt an "Inclusive City" statement. In Northwest Oregon, farm and wine country, immigrants are a very important part of our economy. More than that, their diversity is something that our community needs. We are all better for it.
Last year I read this story of an immigrant child whose mother is deported. It was heartbreaking, beautiful, and important.

Why can I not delete this e-mail? It keeps coming back.
Am I in a science fiction time travel story where the hero is frantically trying to warn me of something from a New Years Eve party in late 1969, but her repeated failures change the timeline making the e-mail empty?
Or is it an iPhone glitch?
