Virtual Bookish Trip: A Booklist
We are wrapping up our second week of school and the “official” end of summer hits Monday with the Labor Day holiday. Last week was brutally hot with heat indexes over 100 degrees.

Themed Reading: Back to School in Books
It’s that season–back to school. We have had a great summer in our house, and while I do love the routine and structure the school year provides, I am a little sad to let the lazy and fun days of summer go. One plus of school starting is the fun reading that’s in store for… Continue reading

Reading Throwback: 1988 & 1991
The start of school always has me feeling a bit nostalgic. While I’m not headed back to a classroom, I remember the mixed feelings I had – excited to see friends and meet my teacher, not so excited to be there 8ish hours a day or to have homework and tests. I see these same… Continue reading
About Me
Welcome! I started my career as a children’s librarian, later becoming a public library director and now I’m a stay at home mom. While my career might have changed, my love of reading has been a constant since I was in 4th grade, and I read over 200 books a year. I love talking about books and connecting readers of all ages with just the right book. Thanks for reading!
