Discussion: Library Books At the Beach

June 18, 2022June 7, 20226 Comments

It’s getting close to summer, and you know what that means… going to the beach! I personally hate the beach, I burn like crazy and I’m not a fan of ocean water, but as far as I know, the majority of people like going to the beach. When going to the beach, some people like … Continue reading Discussion: Library Books At the Beach

Discussion: Reviewing Every Book You Read

June 13, 2022June 4, 20229 Comments

One thing I think we feel as book bloggers is pressure to review each book we read. I’m not counting star ratings, as we typically just do that automatically on Goodreads or Storygraph, but the reviews we take time to write out for others to read. I mean, that’s probably the reason we started our … Continue reading Discussion: Reviewing Every Book You Read

Discussion: Required Summer Reading

July 22, 2021June 16, 20227 Comments

We're in the middle of that time of year... summer reading for kids and teens. What a joy, right? For librarians, it can be a little bit of a nightmare for us when we don't get our shipment of summer reading books or when the procrastinators start coming in.  Even just the Children and Teen … Continue reading Discussion: Required Summer Reading

Favorite Books of 2020 (so far)

July 24, 2020June 15, 20224 Comments

We're almost a month past the halfway mark of the year, but I still think this is a good time to do this post because by December, the entire list could be different. It'll be interesting to see how it changes by then, if I ever get out of this reading slump I'm in. So … Continue reading Favorite Books of 2020 (so far)

Make Summer Reading a Success

June 12, 2020June 15, 2022Leave a comment

As a librarian, I've seen the "summer reading scramble" every year - where students can't find any of the books on their school-issued reading lists because they waited until the last minute to get started. Then we librarians are left to deal with frustrated kids and parents. To put it simply, August is a librarian's … Continue reading Make Summer Reading a Success

February Haul and Wrap Up

March 1, 2020June 15, 2022Leave a comment

As always, February flew by after the five years that was January, yet somehow I was still able to get through seven books for the month.  It's surprising because I didn't read as fast as I usually do, nor did I pick up any mangas to up the numbers. One of the books though, I'd … Continue reading February Haul and Wrap Up

January Haul and Wrap Up

January 31, 2020June 15, 20222 Comments

January started off strong with reading, but kind of slowed down as I started going through some personal/spiritual things mid-month (which feels like a lot longer, honestly). I can't really explain it, but my fellow Christians will know that sometimes we go through rough patches in our walk with God.  Mine happened right after I … Continue reading January Haul and Wrap Up

August Haul and Wrap Up

September 2, 2019June 13, 2022Leave a comment

August was a pretty decent month for reading.  Overall, I read 8 books, of which 2 were rereads.  Because of the release of Descendants 3 early on in the month, I quickly became a little obsessed with Descendants fanfiction, which kind of distracted me a bit from reading books and put me into a bit … Continue reading August Haul and Wrap Up

Summer Reading Scramble

August 20, 2019June 11, 20223 Comments

Summer Reading... the one thing that many students dread about their time off from school.  In fact, a lot of them dislike it so much that they put it off until the last minute.  And guess what that means?  When they come in to get the book from the library, chances are we don't have … Continue reading Summer Reading Scramble

10 Light-Reading Book Recommendations

July 27, 2019June 11, 20222 Comments

There's only about a month left of summer vacation for most students, and even in the work world, people are always taking vacations this time of year to get away for a week or so.  Most of that ends after the first week of September and the seasons begin to change.  This also means there's … Continue reading 10 Light-Reading Book Recommendations

I need to stop forgetting that I still have 75 ebooks in my digital library that still need to be read 🙈
Finished Searching for Normal last night, which is part of the Riverbend Friends series, and it was so good! I nearly cried more than once.

If every cast member of Harry Potter had a memoir, I’d read them all. There’s some other celebs I’d love to read memoirs of, including Jennifer Aniston, Selena Gomez, Danielle Fishel, Melissa Joan Hart, and more!
Happy first day of Spring y’all! With April just a few weeks away it seems appropriate to show off a spring-colored book with rain featured 😂
