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.

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)
