I'm kind of annoyed that I didn't get approved to read the Arnold Lobel picture book biography coming out next week. But at least I can read it next week and we'll have four copies in the store.

Louder Than Hunger: (A Middle Grade Novel About Mental Health, Eating Disorders, and Self-Acceptance for Kids Ages 10-14 in Grades 5-9) (A Middle Grade Novel About Mental Health, Eating Disorders, and Self-Acceptance for Kids Ages 10-14 in Grades 5-9)

Appreciated hearing from someone that Louder than Hunger by @mrschureads.bsky.social really helped the young reader- and their entire family- be able to discuss a serious topic. Hopefully, it's just the start of more conversations to help them deal with it. bookshop.org/a/6720/97815...

I've only just started reading them and other Tove Jansson books this year.

My #IMWAYR post this week: thechroniclesofachildrensbookwriter.wordpress.com/2025/02/15/n... I'm excited to read more of Mac Barnett's books for my #NAYPL #readingchallenge!

What are you #currentlyreading? I've got to admit my attention span isn't what it used to be and I need to work on that.

Can't wait to read this

The highlight of being a bookseller this week was getting to reunite a kid with her bunny stuffie. I noticed they had left it at the store. I'd overheard the mom saying they were going to the co-op next. After wandering down the wrong aisles, I found them and gave the girl her toy. #BooksellerLife

Who else is watching the #ala #yma?

Sad news.

My Reading Week #IMWAYR- January 20, 2025 The format for this post- and for the foreseeable future- will look a bit wonky as I try to figure out how best to present my reviews from StoryGraph. If anyone has tips, let me know. A Different K…

My ##IMWAYR post this week, sharing the link on a Tuesday even though I did get it done on a Sunday. thechroniclesofachildrensbookwriter.wordpress.com/2025/01/12/m...

The first #imwayr of 2025. I talk about my #readinggoals for the year as well as share some #bookreviews. thechroniclesofachildrensbookwriter.wordpress.com/2025/01/05/m...

My first read of 2025 is also my first #FilipinoReads of the year. It's the forthcoming #PictureBook New by @ninamataart.bsky.social and publishes May 6th! Enjoyable and joyous take on being the new kid in school- as well as being new in a new country- and overcoming all the challenges that entails.

My Reading Week #IMWAYR- December 30, 2024 This week, I’ll be sharing my favorites of the year. I shared my picks halfway through this year- and I’ll be adding from those. Other favorite Picture Books of 2024 were: We Are Defini…

My Fave Books of 2024 is shared on my latest #IMWAYR post: thechroniclesofachildrensbookwriter.wordpress.com/2024/12/29/m... Also, does @thestorygraph.com have the option to copy/paste the HTML of a book review into WordPress so I can switch to it with my blogging?

Is it just me or does it seem like there's less books by Filipino authors coming out in 2025? I'd love to be wrong so please show me threads or give me links of these titles to #FilTheShelves!

My #IMWAYR post this week includes #MariahCarey #Christmas #picturebook reviews and Julia Cameron #TheArtistsWay #bookreviews thechroniclesofachildrensbookwriter.wordpress.com/2024/12/16/m...

My Reading Week #IMWAYR- December 9, 2024 It’s been a downright depressing December thus far but, at least, that’s a bit alliterative. And, I haven’t had the energy or focus to really read.I DNF’ed a couple of books…

Any #imwayr #bloggers here? This week's #bookreviews: thechroniclesofachildrensbookwriter.wordpress.com/2024/12/09/m...

Looking forward to The Gate, the Girl, and the Dragon coming out next year. I'm kind of hoping I don't get an ARC so I can read the beautiful first edition with the sprayed edges! But, most likely, I won't have that much self-control.

Grace Lin Reading Challenge Completed Last year (2022), I decided to read all of Grace Lin’s books that I hadn’t yet. I’ve been a fan since I read Where the Mountain Meets the Moon back in 2012. (The second book in that series Starry R…

Who else is a fan of @authorgracelin.bsky.social? One of my #ReadingChallenges a year or so ago was to read all the books she's written and/or illustrated. You can read my #BookReviews here:
