I love getting a jump start on my TBR (to be read) list for the next season! If you take a look at MG Book Village and Mr. Schu’s website, you’ll find a book release calendar which are my go-to places to find out what’s coming out soon! The Unsung…

Disney Princess Readalikes
The better part of the fall was spent curating some really great lists of books based on Disney Princess Readalikes, specifically looking at character traits.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books to Movie Adaptations
This week was a freebie week for Top Ten Tuesday and since I’ve actually been posting regularly each week, I din’t have any topics to go back to and cover. So I decide to focus on (mostly) YA books that have movie adaptations out currently or that are coming out…

I love Moana, as a film and as a character. Moana is not willing to accept the status quo – she wants to be brave and courageous and help her family and her people as the up-and-coming chief. When she learns that her ancestors were travelers and were called to…

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I’m Thankful For
These are ten titles that I’m thankful were published this year. I wanted to highlight diverse titles that were published – highlighting different races, religions, ethnicities, cultures, abilities, socioeconomic statuses and more. Diverse titles are still not as easy to find as I’d like, especially when you only have a handful…

Three on a Theme: Snow
With our first snowstorm in the books for the winter season, I could think of nothing better than to share a couple of picture books about snow. I love snow, as long as I’m staying inside and don’t have to worry about traveling. Yesterday’s snowstorm made travel in our area horribly…
