We had to skip the middle one (? with Mimi?) as my girls deemed the cover too scary!

My youngest standing on the bed and shouting in jubilation when Aunt Sarah was found in THE DOLL PEOPLE by Ann M. Martin. (Also, kids are building story expectations; everything is a surprise!)

Looking for a book for a kiddo who loves dogs? It's short (169 p)! It's funny! There is goose poop! "Not since Ramona Quimby has a character marched right out of a book with so much bravado, humor, and heart."--Barbara O'Connor #booksky bookshop.org/p/books/lolo...

A graphic of book cover LOLO WEAVER SWIMS UPSTREAM on an weathered wood background, showing quotes from reviews and that it is a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection. The pulled review quotes say good things like dog lovers will like this book, that it is face-paced, and Lolo "all but leaps off the page."

I've also heard moms ask when tour is over if the party scene is bars or frats, so now I ask. Or even just, what's the vibe on a Friday night? Think the candor (or not) really depends on the individual guide.

100% the same right here at my house. I always ask % students in Greek life and sometimes the student guides don't know, which I think is weird or straight-up misdirection!

A smart HS senior who reads nonstop YA (mostly fantasy? she's neutral on romance) but also literature with a capital L. Atwood fan, read Orlando (thought it was mostly boring), just finished and loved Their Eyes Were Watching God. Plans to major in math!

Men, it’s never too late to leave your fraternity. Membership is lifelong. And these segregationist institutions use your name to uphold the power they abuse. This is what your fellow alums are doing. Do you really want to be associated with that?

About a team masseur being the only rider from a team in a pro bike race: National coach Jakub Vančo explained the consequences in greater detail, stating how essential the points could be for their goal of qualifying for the 2028 LA Olympics, but made sure to stress that the masseur's entry was nothing more than a "formal representation".

"Our participation will only be formal. We will have representation in the form of a person who is here and formally meets the conditions and licenses."

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.
