Just read this fun middle grade book- a self proclaimed mostly true tall tale about how the largest urban colony of bats came to live in Austin, Texas.

I won a copy of my #bookspin book through Goodreads so it's sitting only nightstand waiting for me to start! And my #doublespin is the next read for the #shardlakeseriesbr , already on hold at my library! The combo of a new release and an older title is perfect!

Back to the reality of grad school demands on my time! But not too shabby considering...

✅ finished August's Author-A-Month who was new to me!
Just for fun, this week is numbers in titles! This new one from Ben Guterson will appeal to fans of his well-loved Winterhouse series- it's set in a department store with secrets instead of a hotel. What others can you think of for #middlegrademonday?

You all! This book is an experience! I listened to the audio production while reading a physical copy with illustrations. You'll miss out if you only do one or the other! I didn't expect a story of two sycamore seed siblings to be so epic. I'm rarely emotionally moved by a book, but this one did it! 🙌🏼
Let's have fun with #middlegrademonday this week and share some favorite fairytale retellings! This is a humorous tale of the princes of Cinderella, Snow White, and Rapunzel trying to foil evil plots against their kingdoms.
1. Tagged book was a spur of the moment listen provided by LibroFM‘s program for librarians.
2. Audiobooks!
3. Middle grade and historical fiction
Thanks for the tag @Eggs

A cute YA where a girl time travels to the 1990s to help her mom win Homecoming Queen!
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
A #fieldtrip that did not end well! #schoolspirit @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
1. When we visited Washington DC we had the most fun at the International Spy Museum!
2. The most recent book I read set in a museum is the tagged book- a middle grade nonfiction!

Is it just me or is it weird that stories about 9/11 are considered historical fiction?!? But what better way for kids to learn and connect with this major event in the U.S.! So today, let's share books that you would recommend to young readers that center around the events of 9/11. #middlegrademonday
Using the #schoolspirit #sports prompt to show off my runner son! This was at a small meet earlier this week where he placed 2nd with a huge PR (personal record)
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
#schoolspirit #college read this for book club and all those who listened on audio enjoyed it more than those who read the book 🤷🏻♀️
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Well, this is super-convenient! My #bookspin book is the very one I already started this month! And looking forward to the #doublespin pick as well!
Thanks for hosting @TheAromaofBooks
Another good month! I'm only a few days away from finishing my #AuthorAMonth selection- Fingersmith! My hold for #Litsyscificookclub (Blighted Stars) never came in!

In this middle grade historical fantasy the bookshop is a character in the story!
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
I never had this experience myself, but being the new kid has been written about a lot! In the tagged book the new girl makes waves in the small community where everyone has known each other forever. I'd love to hear your favorite middle grade story about a #newkidintown for today's #middlegrademonday !
Since my favorite hotel book-A Gentleman in Moscow- has already been used twice, I‘ll go with a middle grade pick! #aboutabook #setinhotel
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
This novel isn‘t #controversial but the experimental medical treatment at the center of the story is! This was a great book club read! #aboutabook
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs
I love to gift this one to bookish friends 😘 #aboutabook #yougifted
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
#aboutabook #lighthearted
These books are my kind of humor and I‘m excited to remember there are a few more I haven‘t yet read!
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
I‘m pretty bad at these, but here goes:
1. Read
2. Laundry
3. Listen
4. Cookies and cream!
5. I will use both even on the same coloring page!
6. Depends, I don‘t like to answer reflective questions
7. Neither really, but I have absolutely no desire to be an author!
8. Both!
9. Both!
10. I‘ll take either as long as I can stay home!
@Eggs #wondrouswednesday
Right after college I worked for the English Dept and one of the profs gave me this book! I loved it and it got me back into reading after being in school! #giftedtome #aboutabook
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
At Mystwick, magic is conducted through musical instruments and accordingly students are separated into houses by instrument type- brass, woodwinds, etc.
What are some other good #middlegrademonday boarding school tales?
