Happy book birthday @annbraden.bsky.social! What an amazing book!

I’ve read many WWII books, but this one is outstandingly unique. The storytelling is superb, and its heart shines through. Brilliant, compelling, suspenseful, heartbreaking, and very VERY timely. Well done, @adamgidwitz.bsky.social

Thank you @jenniferlagarde.bsky.social and @techielibgrl.com for a great #TLSkyChat! I will be with family for the next one, but will join you all again!

A8: If I listed all the books of my heart this year, I would be here all night! Here are a few I have not yet mentioned tonight! #TLSkyChat Ferris by Kate DiCamillo A Strange Thing Happened at Cherry Hall by Jasmine Warga Across So Many Seas by @ruthbehar.bsky.social Valor Wings by Sam Subity

A7: Along with every Dog Man and Wimpy Kid book, these were some favorite series/ books in my library! #TLSkyChat

A6: This book is full of imagination, discovery, and the love of stories. I enjoyed every minute! #TLSkyChat The Secret Library by @keklamagoon.bsky.social

A5. Loved @janetsumnerjohnson.bsky.social 's Fault Lines, #2 in the Winterton Deception series. A puzzle-y, family, twisty mystery set during Thanksgiving. #TLSkyChat

A4: Not Nothing by Gayle Forman is a huge emotional roller coaster! So beautifully written! #TLSkyChat

A3: I came across this hidden gem and really enjoyed it! In it, Eve comes to find home in a most unexpected place. This was like the Halloween-fantasy Anne of Green Gables I didn't know I needed! #TLSkyChat The Pumpkin Princess & the Forever Night

A2: My son and I loved this book so much! I really thought it was cool that @rickriordan.bsky.social delved into the stories of characters that are usually portrayed as fairly flat villains. Instead, Percy & friends gained empathy - and readers too, I hope! #TLSkyChat

A1. I would recommend any Grinch read The Tenth Mistake of Hank Hooperman by @choldenko.bsky.social . It made me laugh, cry, and definitely grew my heart a few sizes bigger! #TLSkyChat

Good evening #TLSkyChat! I'm Shari Sawyers, a K-6 school librarian in Allen, Texas! This is my first time to join this chat, so happy to find it! Thx for the reminder @lhnatiuk.bsky.social

I had the best day playing detective with my 6th graders in the library today! Thank you @jamesponti.bsky.social for this awesome mystery activity! They loved it! (And somehow the hat really did help me get into character more!) I’m excited to do this 4 more times tomorrow with 5th grade! 😁🕵️‍♀️🔎

How to explain book bans to those who *actually* want to understand what's going on. From top like "why should I care about book bans" to debunking common myths perpetuated by good-hearted but short-sighted book lovers, this guide covers a LOT. bookriot.com/ways-to-expl...

Yes! This is such a cute book, with a great comic-con story!

One thing I'm still learning (and need to remind myself of often) is this: b/c the Bluesky algorithm isn't capitalism focused, engagement here doesn't work the same way it does in other spaces. We must actually REPOST content to boost it. Likes are lovely, but don't affect visibility. #tlsky #edusky

I love this book! What a powerful message in just 165 pages! No matter how strong and capable we may be, we still need each other! Connection with others is the difference between surviving and really living! Thank you for INTO THE RAPIDS @annbraden.bsky.social Can’t wait for May 2025!

So excited to start this new book by @annbraden.bsky.social Survival, friendship, new adventures! I’m sold! #bookallies #mgbookchat #mglit

A few recent books I’ve read and loved that I’d like to highlight during #nativeamericanheritagemonth 🧵 1. BUFFALO DREAMER by Violet Duncan tells a powerful, impactful story in just 128 pages. The storytelling is exquisite.

So enjoyed these audiobooks this weekend! 🧵 NOT NOTHING by Gayle Forman is excellent. Heartbreaking, but hopeful, and with masterful storytelling. Listening to it in Joseph’s voice was so impactful!

I had SO much fun seeing @csoontornvat.bsky.social today and celebrating The Squad! 😍📣

Can’t wait to read this book from @katemessner.bsky.social

So excited for WRAD 2025! My favorite day of the year! 😍

Hello Bluesky! I’m still curating my space here but wanted to say hello! I really only post about kidlit and middle grade - I’m a K-6 school librarian, & member of the TLA Little Mavs Graphic Novel Comm, so rn I’m reading tons of GNs for K-5th 😊❤️📚
