Doing a little weeding to make room for new books. The negotiations are hilarious. #BoysReadToo #RaisingReaders #BlackBoyJoy
Reading has really clicked with Lane in the last couple months and he is so excited about it! The kids usually have a half hour or so of quiet playtime while I read before bed on weeknights and then we read stories together. Lately, he has been choosing to join me and read together, which makes me soooooo happy! #raisingreaders
Today‘s B&N haul! I‘ve somehow never read Are You There, God? The rest are for my (almost) 11 year old who already tore through Attack on Titan this evening, and has requested I get the next couple. I‘m curious to see what he thinks about Hunger Games. Oddly enough, I remember devouring the series while on bed rest with him!

My soon-to-be middle schooler is already getting started on his sixth grade summer reading assignment. Happy to see he‘s not a procrastinator like his mom! 😅

This cutie will soon be in 4th grade! My babies are getting so big. 😭

This one will soon be in middle school. What?! He‘s the most precious kid, I swear. I escaped to read outside, and few minutes later, he and little bro came out with their current reads. 🤍

My almost-teen has very specific but eclectic interests. 😂 These are his recent purchases. On the one hand he still loves Captain Underpants and Dog Man, and has read all the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books multiple times. On the other his bedtime reading lately has been geopolitical non-fiction. He's finished Prisoners of Geography, and is ready to move on to The Power of Geography.

We celebrated my niece's 2nd birthday yesterday. When I first got there, she asked me to read a book to her twice. She loves identifying the different animals 💕

Sorry I've been so absent here! This year is flying by. Here's a picture of my days right now... My 9 month old is very much in the phase where every stack must be unstacked and every container dumped. And she's pulling up, so the bottom 2 bookshelves don't stand a chance 😂 #raisingreaders
Our library is starting a major renovation of its childrens area on Monday, so we went to stock up on books today. The kids are happily analyzing their haul and my 7 year old is reading a picture book to his 5 year old sister… it‘s a good day! #raisingreaders
