Anyone else in a constant battle with the toaster setting? I usually remember to check, but two other people I live with want dark toast that is so crunchy it cuts the roof of my mouth so I’m turning it down and they’re turning it up. 😏

Happy to find From the Other Side of Night/Del otro lado de la noche by Francisco X. Alarcón today in a bookstore. uapress.arizona.edu/book/from-th... According to Storygraph, I’ve been reading his children’s poetry since 2013. I teach with his poetry, but had not read his adult work. #booksky
I read Self-Made Boys by Anna-Marie McLemore, Best Woman by Rose Dommu, and Falling Back in Love with Being Human by Kai Cheng Thom for #transrightsreadathon. Now I am listening to Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars.
There is so much to appreciate about this book — Falling Back in Love with Being Human by Kai Cheng Thom. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/716349... “i spend a lot of time these days thinking about the kind of person i want to be and all the courage it will take to get there.” #booksky

Light pink, white, and blue graphic titled “Educator Giveaway - Win 1 of 3 Trans Book Bundles!” Beneath the title is a diagonal flatlay of several mock-up book covers. Some of the titles shown are “Obie is Man Enough” “A World Worth Saving”, “One of the Boys”, and “This Wretched Beauty”.

Oof - I meant one not “on” 🤣. And have instead of “had.”Proofreading is a skill I need to use more often. 😏
I have allowed myself on tall bookshelf at home and when it is getting too full I had to weed. I can really relate. It’s hard to let go. 📚
Our sixth graders had an excellent time with Aida Salazar during a virtual visit on Friday. It was awesome to hear about A Seed in the Sun and her other writing. www.aidasalazar.com #kidlit

Thank you! That is very helpful.
Four books on display. Two are Moominmland books. One is Scarlet Morning and one is A Year Without Home.
So happy to see @vtbidania.bsky.social’s excellent middle grade novel in verse A Year Without Home on display at the local indie bookstore this week. 😊 #kidlit
Parts of book jackets are on a black bulletin board. The back of the book is labeled cubierta posterior. The spine is labeled lomo, the jacket flaps are labeled solapas, front cover says cubierta anterior, and the whole jacket has three words: chaqueta-sobrecubierta-guardapolvo.
I had a bulletin board with English terms for parts of books and wanted to make a Spanish one also. These are terms a Spanish tutor helped me find. I cross checked with some Spanish pub sites also. Feedback would be appreciated from Spanish speakers. Are these terms typically in use? Thanks!
