A little satisfying before & after from my #littlefreelibrary tidying sesh this morning. Also added a few more children’s books & replenished my little free trinket bin with nee bookish stickers. #littlefreelibraries

Let’s chat about ways to support & save our libraries over on today’s insta post: www.instagram.com/p/DIOyqs4Juo... #NationalLibraryWeek #savelibraries #booksky

Oh this looks darling!

Friendly reminder that there are lots of amazing books that are NOT written by hateful TERFs who use their vast wealth & fame to perpetuate hate. It’s long past time to let go of that series & find a new fandom to funnel your passion, attention & money towards. #booksky

Spring has sprung at our #LittleFreeLibrary! I’ve added books for Arab Heritage Month, Easter, and Earth Day, plus decorations to help celebrate even more things in April. Also a couple blind date books & more free stickers. #littlefreelibraries #booksky

Advice needed! Someone left books 3-7 in the HP series in our #littlefreelibrary. We don’t support that author in our home & I firmly believe that any support of her work (direct or indirect) does harm to the trans community. Do I just leave the books, remove them, or something else?

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

Are you attending any #HandsOf2025 protests today? I’m home with two sick kiddos, but there in spirit — and reading these #picturebooks to teach those same kiddos about the power of protest & using our voices to speak up!

Don’t forget to go enter this book giveaway!!!

Been largely MIA after a couple of rough weeks, but here’s my March #bookhaul — which is definitely evidence of retail therapy/reading books as escapism therapy. #booksky

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Minnesota: A student from St. Francis High School testified to her school board Monday about the restrictive policy that led to at least 47 books—including Beloved, Brave New World, and The Handmaid's Tale— being banned in her district. Read more at: pen.org/st-francis-m...

Tidied up the Little Free Library today. Neighbors have been leaving a lot of books this week, so it is VERY well stocked right now. Come & grab your next read! #littlefreelibrary #littlefreelibraries

Help! What do I read next??? 📖 I finished (& loved) FAN SERVICE by Rosie Danan last night, but I am stumped on what to pick up next. Some top contenders are featured in this photo but I’m really just not sure what I’m feeling. So tell me if any of these scream MUST READ NOW to you. #booksky

Took myself to urgent care this morning for a lingering viral infection (I’m fine, just needed meds). A mother and her teenage daughter come in; mother explains her daughter has been sick for weeks, has a fever, cough, sniffles, etc. And yet … she waltzes in without a mask. 😡

I know we’ve been listening to a lot of Chappell Roan lately, but in case I forgot, today my daughter said, “Our bagel is HOT TO GO!” #momsky

It’s called Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism, if you want to request it from your local library.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day 🍀 kids #bookshelfie edition! #booksky #kidlit #kidsbooks

Kids (almost 5yo) are putting body shimmer on. Husband says, “Lay off or you’re going to give the Twilight vampires a run for their money.” Kids: “Toilet vampires!!!” #momsky #booksky #twilight

A sneaky leprechaun visited our #LittleFreeLibrary on the eve of St. Patrick’s Day to fill it with green-covered books! 🍀 #booksky #littlefreelibraries

Green books for this pre-St Patrick’s Day weekend! #booksky

@harmonylawrence.bsky.social @seanthedandy.bsky.social It’s spelled different, but there is an Ouna/Oona in this (very darling) picture book!

Book mail time! Here’s a peek at some upcoming new picture books from Little Bee Books that I’m really excited to read with the kids and share with ya’ll soon. Which one would you dive into first? #bookmail #booksky

Happy International Women’s Day & f*** the patriarchy. Tear it all down. Channeling my rage today into raising strong kids — raising a daughter who knows her worth and isn’t afraid to speak up; raising a son who is kind and respectful and helps raise women up. #booksky #kidsbooks

Under the Constitution, Congress has the right to set tariffs, not the President--Trump only has the ability to start this devastating trade war with our closest neighbors and allies because of Congressional delegation.

Women’s History = OUR History Many thanks to @workmanpubkids.bsky.social for this gifted copy of THE ABC’S OF WOMEN’S HISTORY — a celebration of all women have done & continue to do for this world. We are powerful, necessary, capable & worthy. #booksky #womenshistorymonth #kidsbooks

Women’s History Month is here & the #littlefreelibrary is decorated & stocked up to celebrate! New books + new feminist stickers too. #booksky #littlefreelibraries

March TBR coming in hot! Though let’s be honest. I’m #currentlyeading I’LL HAVE WHAT HE’S HAVING by Adib Khorram, but the rest of this stack is just a big fat maybe because who knows where my mood reading will take me. 😂 #booksky #toberead #tbr

6 books finished in February! My top 3: SLOW DANCE by Rainbow Rowell DEEP END by Ali Hazelwood INTO THE WOODS by Jenny Holiday #booksky #whatiread

Begging book series to include a "previously on" recap at the beginning of the book. I've already forgotten everything that happened in previous books. I don't know who any of these people are or why they're all yelling at each other.

✨Award-Winning Book ✨ "She Spoke Too" was selected for the Notable Social Studies Trade Books 2025 list! Congratulations to authors Kathy MacMillan and Manuela Bernardi and illustrator Becky Thorns for the well-deserved recognition 🎉 #BookAward #InfluentialWomen #KidLit #InteractiveBook

Me: How’d you get so cute? My son: Because I just love myself #momsky

Romance is one of the most targeted genres for book bans. For this week's Shelf Love interview—in collaboration with @authorsabb.bsky.social—we talk to romance royalty Meg Cabot of the Princess Diaries fame about the ways romance fiction can kindle a love of books: pen.org/meg-cabot-sh...

Thanks to @familiusbooks.bsky.social for this copy of GOODNIGHT WORLD, I LOVE YOU SO 🌙 a sweet, calm book to say goodbye to the day & settle in for the night’s sleep. This book is charming, restful & a nice alternative when you need a break from GOODNIGHT MOON. #booksky #kidlit #kidsbooks

Small book drop at the #littlefreelibrary this afternoon. Here’s what we had shelved as of a couple hours ago:

Did you know that February is Body Acceptance Month? One of the ways I try to encourage my kids to be in healthy relationship with their bodies is through books. All of these books are loved and read often in our home - we hope you love them too!

I am a mom because of IVF & I firmly believe fertility treatments should be way more accessible & affordable. BUT I ALSO believe that reproductive freedom means being able to access safe & affordable abortions too. Abortion IS healthcare & no one should EVER be forced to give birth.

Please talk with your loved ones about Ruby Bridges. Read “I Am Ruby Bridges” by Ruby Bridges 💛 The first Black child at an all-white public elementary school in Louisiana. She was only six-years-old when she made history marching into that school. Ruby Bridges is living history. She's only 70!

#SundayShelfie because everything is awful #booksky #bookshelfie

I had every intention of wearing one of my many cute dresses today for Valentine’s Day. (I often lament a lack of excuses to wear them, so, ya know.) But it snowed and so we played outside and stayed home and the coziest sweatpants were just calling my name.

Snow day! ❄️ #littlefreelibrary #booksky
