2021 Holiday Kids’ Book Gift Guide
I love sharing books as gifts! Partially, because I love books and reading, but also because books can be extremely personal gifts. I regularly gift books to readers in my life. Last year, all of my friends received books from me – titles that I thought they would enjoy based…

Top Ten Tuesday: Books to Read if You Love the Baby-Sitters Club
My formative years were spent in the 90s which means the original Baby-Sitters Club books by Ann M. Martin were an essential part of my TBR list for many years. I read dozens of these books, checking them out of the library by the stack. And if anyone couldn’t already…

World Kindness Day 2021
It’s November 13th and that can only mean one thing – it’s World Kindness Day 2021! And typically, I’d have a great big list of amazing books to share with you! But, apparently, I like talking about kindness because I have three other lists on my blog full of kindness…

Top Ten Tuesday: Quotes About Libraries
Today’s official theme was “Memorable Things Book Characters Have Said” and while I can quote entire movies, I’m not as great at remembering book character quotes. Most likely because I don’t re-read as many books as I re-watch movies. So, I went rogue today, and instead, I’m going to share…

9 Books for King Tut Day
It’s not the young King Tutankhamun’s birthday, rather November 4, 1922 was the day Howard Carter discovered King Tut’s tomb.

National Cat Day Book List
It’s National Cat Day! As a librarian, you would assume I’m a cat person and don’t get me wrong I love cats, but I’m actually a dog person. Granted, as a kid, the only reason we had a cat was that I begged my parents long enough that we finally…

Top Ten Tuesday: Plot Twists & Unreliable Narrators
With a number of other book lists on my blog featuring all things Halloween, I decided to take a different route today! Plus, as I’ve mentioned before, I’m a huge scaredy-cat, so my knowledge of scary Halloween-y books is at a minimum. I’ve got lists about ghosts, witches, bats, monsters,…

Top Ten Tuesday: Online Resources for Book Lovers
I love learning about resources that I don’t know about, especially when it comes to reading. I have a few tried and true favorites that I use on a regular basis when it comes to my reading life, my blog posts, and at work in the library. My posts focus…

9 Books All About Moose
Today was supposed to be a quick Four on Friday post. But when I started researching moose books, I realized that there are some really great ones out there and I couldn’t just stop at four. I’ve never seen a moose in the wild, but I can’t imagine their size!…
