My Goings-On in March: I now share so many details in my Sunday Posts about everything that’s been going on that it feels really redundant to share here as well. So I’m only sharing the most important things that happened this month. Here are the things stand out to me this month: Most of this month has been spent planning for future things… Vacation planning. We haven’t been on a vacation in almost two years, so […]

Yes, I know I’m STILL working my way through all my Cybils reviews. I just don’t want to leave any of these books out! So, even though the awards have been doled out, I still want to feature some very quick reviews of the nominees I read since there were so many good ones. I’m calling this the Long-Titles Cybils List. I hope these bite-sized reviews will be enough to feed your fiction addiction. This book […]

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): It snowed this week, but now we’re back to beautiful weather! What I Read: I started reading Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas. I […]
I’ve recently been in one of those moods where I glance through the 100+ audiobooks in my Hoopla Favorites list and … just don’t see anything I want to listen to. I know that’s utterly ridiculous—there are so many fantastic books on the list! But sometimes you just don’t feel inspired to read what’s right in front of you. I typically see my Hoopla audiobooks as “freebie” books. So often, my reading feels scheduled because […]
Today I’m featuring LIST OF TEN by Halli Gomez, a heart-wrenching #Own Voices contemporary about a boy with Tourette Syndrome and OCD who’s counting down to the day he will commit suicide. Read on for my thoughts on the book and then make sure you also check out Halli’s list of top ten addictions! (But don’t worry—it’s much more lighthearted than the list of ten in the book—I feature this list a lot because it […]

Welcome to the Rosie Loves Jack Blog Tour! I decided to participate in this blog tour because there aren’t many books out there that feature a main character with Down syndrome. I haven’t read this one yet, but it seems like a worthy read, and I wanted to give all of my readers a chance to win a copy of their own! Read on for a fun game of Two Truths and a Lie with […]
I’ve recently been thinking a lot about supporting local bookstores as much as possible. I’ve always supported local bookshops by attending author events and buying books at those, but they haven’t been happening in person recently and I haven’t attended a ton of online events. In the past, I’ve sent books for US giveaways through Amazon because it was the cheapest method, but during COVID I’ve tried to send via local booksellers or Bookshop.org (which […]
