My heart needed this book right now. 💕

Happy Halloween!

Perfect #audiobook for six hours in a car this weekend. Loved it every bit as much as the first one!

By far one of the coolest #audiobooks I've ever listened to! Innovative format, awesome production. Reminded me of a YA Battlestar Galactica.

Finished listening to this entertaining MG mystery this past week. Great narration, memorable characters. A fun read!

I sat in my car in the parking lot at work until I finished listening to this one, and sobbed through the ending. My school custodian offered me a hug when I finally made it inside, and I had to explain that I had just finished a really, really good book. That should tell you everything you need to know.

"Because the world changed that day, slowly and then all at once."

There are lots of things to love about this book, but Genie's notebook full of questions might be my favorite. ⭐️

"Birds burst from every broken window in the house like dark smoke, others tornadoed up through the roof. First they were all separated, exploding into different directions, but then they swooped back toward each other, like family, and became one big black wave, twisting and sweeping up through the trees around them. The sound of wings, like a giant deck of cards being shuffled, filled the air."

Brave characters, heartfelt writing, important stories.

Heartbreaking, inspiring, and entertaining. So glad Diane Guerrero shared her story; no child should have to go through this. Important reading--especially in an election year!

"When the authorities made the choice to detain my parents, no one bothered to check that a young girl, a minor, a citizen of this country, would be left without a family. Without a home. Without a way to move forward. ... In the eyes of the ICE, it was as if I didn't exist. I'd been invisible to them."

John Lewis is a hero and this series should be required reading for everyone. Can't wait to get my hands on book three.

My dear children, read. Read everything. #librariesftw

Today's reading agenda, along with Virginia Hamilton's M.C. HIGGINS THE GREAT on the iPad. #bookaday

Love this smart, funny, action-packed graphic novel series from Judd Winnick. Look for the third book in the series, THE GREAT BIG BOOM, in February! #bookaday

Oh, is that how it works??

I've been reading a bunch of Newbery winners for a class I'm taking & I'm starting a new one this afternoon. I think Buster likes the blanket more than he likes the book...

Mural-in-progress at one of my favorite used bookstores. 💕

And with this one, Dan Gemeinhart is two-for-two at making me cry. With a strong thread of family & friendship, this MG Western adventure is an all-around win. Loved Andrew Eiden's narration.

I'm way late to the party on this one, and kicking myself for waiting so long to read it. An important book that totally lives up to its well-deserved reputation.

Super suspenseful and deeply unsettling, and OMG that last page! My first read by Kuehn, but definitely not my last.

Happy 4th of July!

It was a graphic novel kind of day...

Listening to this one on audio. The Civil War espionage is cool and all, but what I'm really interested in is Kate Warne, the first female detective in the U.S. Must learn more about her!

Love love loved this one. Peter Brown proves he can work magic with the novel as well as the picture book.
