The big snow is coming. Probably going to be snowed in for three days....
Is four novels enough? Should I add to my TBR?

Polishing book 3 and outlining book 4 in a 6 book chapter book series. Making up new magical creatures is the fun bit!

What children's books are you most looking forward to seeing this year?
One of the books I'm most looking forward to in 2026 is Lydia Loves Bugs by @heidieys.bsky.social and Yuliya Pankratova.
One girls love for bugs gets to be shared with everyone (family who DON'T love bugs).
#KidLit #BookRec
It's is finally 2026. I get to say Hear Them Sing comes out this year!
I can't wait for kids to see this illustrated guidebook & soundboard and learn to ID the songs, nests, eggs and birds themselves.
Available May 12

Had a great time kicking off Dino-vember at Bowman Library. Got to meet Stevie the T-Rex from Dinoquest Adventures and found out his favorite book is Digging for Dinosaurs!
Crafts, storytime, & dino dancing made for a perfect Saturday!

Yes! And @mychal3ts.bsky.social is the host.
I loved the show and the tie-ins to learn about cool things.
Reading Rainbow was absolutely inspiring for me, wondering how things came to be.
Maybe why I love to physically do things I write about. I've dug for fossils and met an elephant.

It's an amazing feeling when you see something you helped create being shared across the globe.

Like a hive, we had to work together to create something amazing!

Exactly! And some were performers who could pull you in. They knew how to play those *pauses*, when to read fast, when to whisper. I remember scooting forward in my seat waiting to hear the next parts.
Reading aloud is magic and probably why some will always love audio books too.

Somewhere in Maryland they had a Poe Performance that ran through the 6ish most popular Poe stories and had the best Poe impersonator. So worth seeing!
