Can't wait!!

Happy World Read Aloud Day everybody! I love this excuse to visit schools across the country and celebrate books all day long! 💙📚

I had a hard time letting go of my decade+ Twitter posts (nostalgia?) so I used blueark to move them here (thanks to @janefriedman.com 's Electric Speed newsletter!) It cost $5.00 and the only hitch was that apparently, all the posts got dated yesterday? Sorry if I accidentally flooded your feed!!!

Congratulations, Kate!!!! I was so excited to see THE WRONG WAY HOME on the honor list!!!!!! 🤩

I like a combo of dark chocolate almonds with a couple dried apricots on the side!

I'm so excited to see A Catalog of Burnt Objects on this list next to so many books I want to read.

My friends & family who work in Lewiston are safe and sound, our schools are closed, and we’re all just hunkered down waiting for news, but I think I’ll take a break from the socials for a while. Sending love to all my friends! ❤️

There’s no wrong way to Bluesky if done with love! 😄

Authors, if you think Scholastic's "separate but equal" book fair plan is, perhaps, a BAD idea, please consider signing this open letter to them about it:

docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Thank you to Tegan Beese for showing precisely how dishonest and cowardly Scholastic is being, both with their decision to segregated the books, and their statements justifying that segregation www.instagram.com/reel/CxvzRC-...

One of these days, I’m going to stay awake for this. 🤣 Here’s a reminder for the rest of you!

I love it so much when authors you admire are also people you admire. This took guts and heart. Thank you, Molly.

That's amazing! I always think killdeer look like they're wearing little tuxedos. ;)
