Top Ten Tuesday: Harry Potter Fandom – Quote Style
I had a difficult time with this topic! I’m not super into any one thing, unless it’s books, but I decided to go with Harry Potter because I do love the series, I just don’t do the whole writing fan-fiction, purchasing merchandise, etc. part of fandom. So instead I chose ten…

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 4/3/17
I feel like this is all I say, but it was a crazy week – we’re making some policy changes (to make our library more accessible) and there’s always a little confusion among staff and opinions from patrons. Hopefully, everything has sorted itself out, we’ll see what tomorrow morning brings!…

Top Ten Tuesday: Authors I'd Love to Meet
I’ve been so lucky to meet some of my favorite authors already (conferences, BEA, festivals, etc.) But I wanted to create a list of authors that I haven’t yet met that I’d really love to meet in person! Anna McQuinn – Her Lola & Leo series is one of my…

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/27/17
I finally finished Carmer and Grit: The Wingsnatchers by Sarah Jean Horowitz – it took me quite a while to finish and it wasn’t because I didn’t enjoy reading it, for whatever reason it just took me some time. It’s the perfect book if you have a middle grade reader who likes fairies…

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/20/17
Still didn’t get to a lot of reading this week – we had friends stay over during our snowstorm, which only led to a lot of shoveling and very little reading and then my mom came to visit for a long weekend which also lent itself to very little reading.…

I’ve had little to no time to read this week, but I did get a chance to crack open Carmer and Grit: The Wingsnatchers by Sarah Jean Horowitz which I’m enjoying already (but haven’t gotten too far into yet!). It’s about a faerie with one wing and a magician’s apprentice in…

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/6/17
I read two amazing young adult books this week. I finished up The Girl From Everywhere by Heidi Heilig – and fell completely in love with the story, the characters, the plot, absolutely everything. I definitely want to spend more time talking about this book, so I’ll be writing up a…

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 2/27/17
It was a super busy week with late hours at work and Saturday hours as well which left me close to no time to spend reading. I finally got a chance to start The Girl From Everywhere by Heidi Heilig this weekend and I’m already in love! The story reminds me…

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Loved Less Than I Thought I Would
I chose to focus on series, either the first or subsequent books that I just couldn’t get into. Trilogies are m kryptonite – I’ll love the first one and then I’m usually disappointed with book two or three. The Second Summer of the Sisterhood by Ann Brashares Eragon by Christopher…

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 2/20/17
I didn’t get to quite as many books this week, but I enjoyed the ones I did get to read! Wish is a sweet story about family and friendship found in unexpected places (and a small spoiler alert – although there is a dog on the cover of the book, the…
