Everything is trash and it's hard not to feel like we've already lost. Buy books about defeating authoritarians and give yourself hope. (Also, these ones have magic. And enchanted crows.) shop.nptwrites.com books2read.com/nptwrites/

It's been fun to track my summer reading and participate in a couple of challenges. Not sure how many more great books will be read before going back at the beginning of September, but I'm sure a few more at least! #amreading #summerreading #30Booksin3Months #BookADay

Can't wait to share this one in the fall with students as I know some who will already love this one and anyone who loves verse sure will! A timely topic and incredibly loveable characters you'll feel for! Be sure to pick this one up! #amreading #summerreading @baronchrisbaron.bsky.social

Graphic with a review of the book Spark by Chris Baron (a a picture of the cover) that I finished last night and loved. Review says "This is a moving middle grade book that is unfortunately timely being partly about wildfires and the environment, but it’s also about hope, regrowth, family, friends, community and being there for people in need in a multitude of ways. Written in beautiful verse giving the space for all the emotion in this one! Chris Baron is an auto buy for me!"

June was so busy with the end of school that it was a little slower reading wise, but some fabulous books and I realized half of what I read was actually #nonfiction! And no #miglit either shockingly! #sd36tl #teacherlibrarian #amreading
