So happy to hear that The Poet X won the #Printz at the Youth Media Awards today. I‘m about halfway through and I can already see how deserving it is. #yma #yabooks

My all time favorite series!! #24in48

Dear World: Read this book! A great anthology by some of the best YA authors around.

Hour 12 in #24in48. Here‘s my #shelfie! Mind you this is only one of many book shelves/piles/bins! #librarianlife

Nostalgic and wonderful! Brought me back to my Junior High-High School Days, when I had a paperback with me at all times. #24in48 #youngadult #yalibrarian

#24in48 is underway!

Getting ready for #24in48. Excited to curl up with a good book.

Presently reliving my teenage years! #ya #yabooks #80skid #90steen

I cannot even begin to describe how excited I am to have an ARC of this book!

Dear Annie - If I ever meet you, I am going to give you a huge hug. I hope it won‘t be weird.

Thank you, thank you, thank you,
Janice

In the silence, our stage whisper might carry...

I love books about books!

John Green and I have similar tastes in Shakespeare quotes! Top: My shoulder
Bottom: Turtles All the Way Down pg. 187

Sounds about right!

Please don't leave me unloved

I absolutely adored this book. The cover is stunning. Tanner, the protagonist, is charming, creative, loving, vulnerable and everything you want in a main character. And what makes this book different than a lot of YA books I read, is that the parents are realistic and present and not tragic or oblivious. I give Autoboyography two very enthusiastic thumbs up!

One more week until my Disney Cruise!

Spending my day off at the Vineyards on Long Island

Two books, one cover

I've decided to do a Serial Read (well, 2 actually) and have chosen both Jane Eyre and Anne of Green Gables: two books I have always wanted to read, but never did. I didn't purposely set out to read two books about orphans, it just happened that way. #24in48

I really enjoyed this book. Monty is someone who I would want to know in real life. The book was fun, sweet and full of expected twists.

Enjoyed the first book in the series. Looking forward to what's next.

New tattoo! With a little Shakespeare to go with it.

Reason #948 I love being Youth Services Librarian.... The AWESOME book haul from my Library System's book giveaway!

If contemporary YA romance is your thing and:or if you have a soft spot in your heart for the movie, You've Got Mail, then this book is for you.

My book sleeve arrived today and it's almost as if it's giving Tim Tebow a warm hug. #jealousofmybooksleeve

Another fantastic read from Becky Albertalli. I loved the relationships between the characters, many of whom are strong, independent females. Would definitely recommend this to YA fans of all ages.

Happy Birthday to Beverly Cleary, author of my favorite childhood book and a large reason why I still love to read.

The family we choose shapes us as much as the family into which we are born. Benjamin Alire Saenz beautifully displays the relationships between father and son, mothers and children, and friends. I loved this book.

I no longer have a heart because it is lying broken on the pages of this beautiful book. I feel sorry for people who dismiss YA as fluff or superficial, because they have robbed themselves of experiencing books like this one, that are raw and emotional and life changing. #ya #librarian #uglycrying.

My Tween Book Club enjoyed this month's selection. Then we made paper flowers! #librarian #middlegrade #bookclub #tweens

I have two days in a row off from work for the first time in forever, so I'm spending them with Jeff Zentner. #ya #librarian #todayimreading

I loved the relationship between Charlotte and Jamie. Perfectly flawed characters and a intriguing story. Looking forward to Book 3.

The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Only one of us will survive (and it probably won't be me)

This is one of my absolute favorite YA series. The final line of the book gave me shivers. Can't wait for what comes next.

My moral dilemma while reading this book....

Monsters are most dangerous when there're afraid.

No cool pj's, but I do have my #maraudersmap blanket ready for tonight's #LitsyPartyofOne.

Snow Day! I get to have a book date!

Today is Elmo's Birthday! #childrenslibrarian #sesamestreet

Sometimes your spirit animal is a book!

Getting a few hours of reading in this morning, before I have to go to work. #24in48 #readathon #todayimreading #yalibrarian

Getting ready to start my next book in the #24in48 #readathon. I loved Josh Sundquist's memoir, We Should Hang Out Sometime, so I am really excited to read his first novel! #readharder2017 #debutnovel #yalibrarian

#spinepoetry for the #24in48 #readathon

Stuck between wanting to make progress in the #24in48 #Readathon and never wanting this book to end. An added bonus is drinking coffee from my #princess Jasmine mug!
