Wow! Webster’s says it involves the brow, but then gets a bit wishy-washy muttering about “other facial expression.” I’m American and brow all the way.

the best parts about fall by explodinglobstercomics cozy flannels, hot beverages, return of the Old Ones, bonfires with friends

Don’t ask again for fourteen days, I beg. But alas, you ask again within the hour.

Only thing that's missing is the #coffee or #tea for my friends across the pond <3

I tend to be a little disappointed when authors don’t read. So yes!

autumn is here! time for ghosts and ghouls! and your semi-regular reminder that I have two creepy, magical little middle grade books perfect for when there's a fresh chill in the air <3

an isbn indicating what the numbers stand for. first number is the language, the next 3 are the publisher, the next 5 are a serial number and the last number is a check digit that indicates all the numbers are correct

20 years in bookselling and i didn’t know those numbers meant anything specific

Enchanted Lion does some of the most gorgeous picture books you'll ever see

Illustrated book cover. At the top of the image is a street scene from early twentieth century Denver, with people of all ages in suits and long dresses. Some are on foot; others are in horse-drawn buggies. There is a large archway with "Welcome" across the top, and beyond it is Seventeenth Street full of people. There are buildings with arched windows on either side of the street. At the bottom left is a white girl with a single braid. She is wearing an beige dress and carrying a messenger-style bag over her shoulder. She is looking up at the archway with an excited expression on her face. At the bottom right is an Eastern European folk art motif with flowers and viney stems. The color scheme is shades of turquoise blue and an orangey-red, with purple accents. In the middle of the image is the book's title in white text: The Unexpected Lives of Ordinary Girls. Also the author's name in red text: J. Anderson Coats.

It's September, which means The Unexpected Lives of Ordinary Girls comes out this month! I still love the synchronicity of a book inspired by my grandma's life coming out on her birthday. Can't wait to share this pro-immigrant, pro-freedom to read #historical! www.jandersoncoats.com/the-unexpect...

Fun and scary cover image (with lacrosse sticks and monster drool) and carefully selected glowing review quotes for Mind over Monsters by Betsy Uhrig

Kids are going back to school whether they want to or not. If they're worried, here's the perfect #MGLit book to fix that! (Disclaimer: It most definitely won't fix anything, but it might make them laugh. Plus there are giant-cranberry antics!) Order here: bookshop.org/p/books/mind...

I have complete confidence in these two.

Wait till the zucchini gets out of control. They’ll leave it without asking!

I love to see these credits in books!

What diet? I'm reading!

Congratulations to the Silver Unicorn Bookstore in Acton, MA, for this well-deserved Major Award!

The bear was probably more pleasant with customers than I was the summers I scooped ice cream.

Just make it exist first. You can make it worse with each new pass while getting increasingly frustrated later.

1. A comma splice walks into a bar, it has a drink and then leaves.

2. A dangling modifier walks into a bar. After finishing a drink, the bartender asks it to leave.

3. A question mark walks into a bar?

Agree! This is a wacky MG comedy unspooling before our very eyes!
