It’s May 1st which means that my ninth year of the Blogging A to Z Challenge is officially over! Thank you to everyone who stopped by. I had record views on my blog this month, and it was really great to see so many comments and new readers! With over…

2024 Blogging A to Z Challenge: Zero In
Can you believe it?!?! We made it to the letter “Z”! And I’m taking it easy today with a list of titles that I didn’t get to add anywhere else this month, but I wanted to make sure I made a point of sharing since they are great adventure stories…

2024 Blogging A to Z Challenge: Time Travel
Time travel, for me, brings together two very different genres and, if done correctly, is a wonderful thing! Time travel often combines the science of science fiction with the history of historical fiction. And as someone who isn’t necessarily a big science fiction reader, this is one way I’ll get…

2024 Blogging A to Z Challenge: Read Alouds
Another fun reading list to pull together, I included some of my most favorite books that make great read alouds for families. If you don’t already take time every day to read together as a family, start a new habit by selecting an adventure story from the list and begin…

2024 Blogging A to Z Challenge: Kooky

Imagination is a gift once must have when writing and these authors are full of it. With stories of games, zombies, spies, history brought to life, and an overnight in Ikea, the imagination knows no bounds! I enjoy creating lists such as this one when you pull together books that…

2024 Blogging A to Z Challenge: Fantasy
While dragons got their very own post, you can’t very well believe that I wouldn’t share a whole list of fantasy titles as well. And yes, there are more dragons, but they don’t all have dragons, I promise. While fantasy titles aren’t my go-to books, I still tend to enjoy…

2024 Blogging A to Z Challenge: Dragons
There is absolutely no way that I could create 26 book lists about adventures without highlighting dragons in at least one of the lists. And there are plenty more dragon books out there, but I limited myself to twelve and was able to pull from picture books, chapter books, middle…

2024 Blogging A to Z Challenge: Chapter Books
Letter “C” is for chapter books! This is probably one of the most misunderstood terms in children’s literature, so let me explain. While most people use this term for any book with chapters in it that is geared toward kids, it’s actually a specific term. Unfortunately, it’s often misused online…
