Thank you!

Working on my reading goals for 2025. What MG books should I put on my list as must reads this year? I particularly love scifi, adventure, and mystery. Also some fantasy.

Classic Pairings with Book Covers for Charlotte's Web, Hatchet, Nancy Drew, The One and Only Ivan, Wildfire, and The Sherlock Society.

My new blog post is Pairing Classic and Modern Children's Books. What other books would you add to this list? inthemiddleofabook.com/2024/11/20/p...

I’d love to be added. I’m retired but still dedicated to helping school librarians.

Finished up The Icarus Chronicles. So good! Check out my review: bit.ly/3OeSIa5

It’s been a while since I’ve checked in here. Wow! Since then I’ve retired as a librarian and started a blog inthemiddleofabook.com. We focus on books from middle grade to middle age 😃

What are your favorite things to do in Preptober? I've already outlined my novel. Any fun ideas for working on character development?

Organized my bookshelf and realized it’s full of books I haven’t read. Guess I’ll have to spend the rest of the evening reading.

Cleaning out today. Old drafts, notebooks of ideas and writing. What do you save and what do you toss?

I wrote three sentences yesterday at lunch and after dinner I typed those three sentences into my manuscript.

I finally made it here. I write books. Sometimes MG. Sometimes adult. I’m also a middle school librarian.
