It's fall (in the Northern Hemisphere), and it looks like we're experiencing an actual season of fall for the first time in years (in my region anyway)! Temperatures are falling at a consistent rate and it's not 85 degrees (Fahrenheit) outside. The leaves are starting to change colors and fall, the air is cool and crisp; and, it's raining. Yes, there was some flooding during the Nor'Easter that hit my region last weekend, but my plants got A LOT of rain from the storm.

Summer Vacation has ended (for kids and for teachers/scholars/educators)! Now, we're getting ready for fall and everything that comes with it! For me, it's the "quiet period" after another busy summer at work (I'm a Teen Librarian). The Nationwide Summer Reading Program was a HUGE success (you're going to LOVE next year's theme)! With Fall approaching, I have to dive into all of my upcoming work obligations.

Is it really August already?  This summer is moving fast! I'm not complaining too much about that because work has been VERY BUSY! Summertime is Library Time! It's also been a fun summer with even more things to come by the end of it. What Have I Finished Reading Recently? I managed to get a good amount of reading done, and they were great reads and I highly recommend them all.

We made it to July 2026! We're halfway through the year! It's a miracle! This heatwave has been intense! New York is still celebrating all of the nonstop events occurring throughout the Tri-State Area! Summer Reading has begun! Yes, today is the 250th Birthday of the United States of America! On this day 250 years ago, the Declaration of Independence was ratified (it was signed on July 2, 1776) by the Founding Fathers: George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and many more (White) men.

The couple who illegally climbed the Empire State Building has been revealed as Ivan Beerkus and Angela Nikolau from Netflix's 'Skywalkers' doc.

It’s almost summertime! And, to be honest, I’ve been busy watching both the NBA Finals (Go Knicks!) and awaiting the beginning of the FIFA World Cup! Yes, New York City is hyped for all of the sporting events (NOT the politics and the corruption that comes with it)! That being said, I’ve managed to get some reading done! What Have I Finished Reading Recently?

A new omnibus edition of Rep. John Lewis' award-winning graphic memoir arrives at a crucial time of increased racial and political tension.

April was a slower month for reading for me. Between Easter, Spring Break (I’m a teen librarian, so work was busy that week), and BookCon, I didn’t finish as many books as I wanted. What Have I Finished Reading Recently? The books I did manage to finish reading are all related to my work as a librarian. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed all of these books (all YA), but now I won’t have the time to read any other books I was hoping to read last month and this month.

Tony Carruthers was convicted without physical evidence, based solely on testimony from informants.

March was my first "catch up" month in that not only did I have to read up on some other books for review, but also I started catching up on other reading other books I had to put aside. The first half of April will be dedicated to finishing a couple of books for review and the second half of the month I hope to start reading up on what I've fallen behind on (the very short list). At the same time, I'll be drafting more of my overdue reviews. I want to write enough to post them for consecutive weeks.
