The Last Letter

This American Ex-Wife

Didn't See That Coming

Life's Too Short

I've still been slacking on posting the books I've read. With this post, I'm all caught up. Most of these were audio, a few of them were ebooks. I liked them all. Some more than others. Not sure what's up next. Suggestions? #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian

The books I read this month

Mostly grownup books for January. Nothing I loved. But nothing I hated either! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian

My StoryGraph 2025 wrap up

I exceeded my reading goal in 2025. Full disclosure, it was mostly kid books. Want advice? Read the kid books! Picture books. Chapter books. Read them. They're cute and funny and silly and weird. We all need a little more of that in our lives! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks

Live Wire Long-Winded Short Stories

Hearing Kelly Ripa drop an F bomb and go New Jersey is shocking at first, but I'm here for it! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks

Spending the Holidays with People i Want to Punch in the Throat

This was a fun listen. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks

Grapes of Wrath

I know I have friends who love this book. I don't get it. I was supposed to read it in HS and I didn't and it took me forever to finish it this time. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks

Coach

This was fantastic! I'm not sure if this is the last book in the Track series, but if so, I guess that's OK. Such a great series! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks

Big Dumb Eyes

Listened to this. Someone on the socials recommended this. I hadn't heard of him. He's kind of an idiot. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks

Anxious Generation

Listened to this one too. Instagram ruined girls. To an extent, it's true. Social media ruined all of us. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks

Paris A Memoir

Back to posting books I read this Fall but never posted. I listened to this one and it blew me away. Do I believe her? I think so? But why did we never hear about any of this? And if it's true, how did she forgive her parents? #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks

We Loved to Run

Listened to this one too. Not sure where ii heard about it, but since I run, why not? I enjoyed the dynamic between the teammates. But be aware of triggering content. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #books

ADHD is Awesome

I listened to this one. Probably should've actually read it. There's good information, but I didn't like how he made light of some potentially serious situations. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #books

Troubling Tonsils

Another new book in the library. New chapter book from @aaronreynoldsbooks My students love him! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #library #kidlit 👍 📚

Gift of Words

Chrunchazaur Kaboom

I Want to Dance in Pants

If You Were a Princess

I haven't been doing a good job posting what I've been reading. These are a few new books at the Library this Fall. Good choices for the littles! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #library #kidlit 👍

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? Eternally Electric

Joey McIntyre wrote the forward. I listened to this and she reads it. It was like reliving my childhood. I grew up about 40 minutes from her. I was not aware of all her health issues later in life. A good read for those GenX. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #books

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? It's Not My Fault

What's Mrs Pierce? Nat the Gnat

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? I read both of these when I was looking for a good story about responsibility. I went with Nat. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #kidlit 📚👍

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? Stuck

The next book in the popular @kayke series. Olive is at summer camp, and two of her good friends are fighting and keep putting Olive in the middle! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #kidlit 👍 📚

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? Sunrise on the Reaping

Finished this Thursday night. Heartbreaking. No wonder Haymitch was so miserable! If you've read the rest of the Hunger Games, read this. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? It. Goes. So. Fast.

Finished listening to this earlier this week. While I'm not a parent, I do work with the same kids for up to 6 years. They come to me as babies in UPK and leave me as people in 4th grade. The days are long but the years are fast! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? Hello, Molly!

She had such a complicated childhood. Her dad was a piece of work! I don't know if I could've loved him unconditionally the way she did. I guess it all made her who she is. And I find her incredibly funny and intelligent. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #books

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? One-third Nerd

Cute middle grade story about Liam and his sisters and how they try to raise money to bring Cupcake, their dog, to a special vet so she'll stop peeing in the house. If not, they'll have to get rid of her. Are they successful? #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #kidlit 👍 📚

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? Girl, Stop Apologizing

I finished listening to this on my walk. It wasn't what I thought it was going to be but still valuable information. Can't say you don't have time to achieve your goals when you spend hours every night doom scrolling. Make the time! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? The Let Them Theory

Going to sit with this one a bit. I can't control everyone's emotions and actions. But I can control how I respond to them. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #books

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? I Want to Burn this Place Down

Finished listening to this on my walk. Someone I follow somewhere recommended this. Another woman I'd never heard of before, but could totally be my friend! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? Listen for the Lie

Stayed up until 1230 finishing this one. Didn't know until the end who did it. It's for book club next week. I think that's 2 months in a row where I knew what the book was and I actually read it! Go me! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? Parkland

Why do I read these? Yes I've read most of them. Might have to do with watching Columbine from the graphics office of channel 7, horrified. Not knowing that it was the first of many. Because in my 8 years in local TV news I've seen some stuff. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? Jawbreaker

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? I could've been Max. Frizzy, curly brown hair. Braces. Headgear. Although I didn't have to wear it to school. I didn't deal with this level of bullying. The internet just makes the bullying worse! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #kidlit 👍 📚

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? Cher

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? I listened to this on the recommendation of Maria. She was right. I just wish Cher read the whole thing. I don't know how she put up with Sonny for so long. I guess if you don't know anything else... #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? East of Eden

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? One of those classics maybe I was supposed to read in high school. I've seen this called the best book ever written. I don't know about that. But I cared about what happened to these people. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? Ghost

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? Patina

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? Sunny

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? Lu

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? I read this @jasonreynolds83 series in 3 days. The next one comes out in October. I love how all the personalities come together to create a family! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #library #books #kidlit 👍 📚
