Nancy Spector Monster Detective: The Case of the Missing Spot by @stephenwmartin.bsky.social and Linh Pham is a super fun MG graphic novel, perfect for kids who love adventures and mysteries! It’s definitely a book my third graders will love! Thanks for sharing with #BookAllies !

Today I’m reading The Girl in the Walls by @medenkuyatt.bsky.social ! Thank you for sharing with #BookAllies !

Wow. This book was great company as I recovered from Covid this week. It was impossible to put down and taught me so much. A heartbreaking, yet hopeful book about middle schooler Mo who is living with his father who has schizophrenia. Although his mom isn’t around, Mo realizes there are others 1/2

I’ve been sick for a few days, but today I’m feeling a little better and up for some reading! Diving into The Strongest Heart by Saadia Faruqi! I’ve loved every book I’ve read by Saadia, so I’m extra excited for this read 💜 #BookAllies

Thank you @erindowning.bsky.social for reading to my third graders and inspiring them to write! They learned so much from you and they’re all DYING to meet the Peach family! 😍🍑

Noah is practicing for #worldreadaloudday ! Tomorrow he’ll be reading a story he wrote to the entire Oceanside Kindergarten Center!

Today’s PARP Reading Reunion was awesome! I loved spending the morning with last year’s class! 😍😍😍📚📚📚

We started our realistic fiction book clubs today! It was a blast! 🤩

Thank you @laurenmagaziner.bsky.social for the awesome virtual visit today! My class absolutely loved learning from you and they’re dying to read on in The Mythics!!

I absolutely LOVED this book by Cassidy Wasserman. A book about navigating new friendships, exploring new interests, and navigating the divorce of your parents. I couldn’t put it down! @netgalley.bsky.social

Don't mind me. I watch the news and sharpen the tips of my words like blades.

Look out world! Nearly two years ago @mrschureads.bsky.social gifted this sketchbook to Noah for him to jot down his story ideas. Noah has been waiting and waiting for true inspiration to strike and tonight’s the night! He has an idea for a MG NIV and he’s very excited to get started!

Happy book birthday to @padmatv.bsky.social's Safe Harbor!

We filled another whole row of books on our #ClassroomBookADay display! #kidsneedbooks #kidsneeddiversebooks #picturebooks

My favorite 🥰

It’s an extra special day when your socks match your #ClassroomBookADay book! #LOU @breannacarzoo.bsky.social

Starting Olivetti by Allie Millington tonight! I was so intrigued when I heard about it at NCTE. I am very excited to dive in!

Tonight Noah’s reading The Tenth Mistake of Hank Hooperman (SUCH AN AMAZING BOOK!) by @choldenko.bsky.social and I’m reading The Bletchley Riddle (AWESOME so far!) by @rutasepetys.bsky.social and Steve Sheinkin. Glad he’s finally feeling better so we can read side by side 💙

A few colleagues and I have a book club together and I got to choose this month’s book. So excited to read The Bletchley Riddle by @rutasepetys.bsky.social and Steve Sheinkin! This is my 4th book of break (not including 2 audio and one I’m reading with my son) 📚😍 Can’t wait!

Finished Tear This Down this morning! Loved it so much. A powerful book by @barbaradee.bsky.social about standing up for what you believe in and making change in a positive way. MG kids and beyond will be inspired to learn about their own local “heroes”, spend time in their libraries, and 1/2

Looking forward to when the kids go to bed! 🎨👩‍🎨🤗

This beautifully illustrated book by @kirstenpendreigh.bsky.social and Katie Melrose is perfect for teaching kids about ocean animals and onomatopoeia! I especially love all of the informative back matter! My daughter and I loved reading it together! Two fins up! #BookAllies

This book by Brooke Hartman and Maria Garcia is fantastic! Each page is full of fascinating facts about cute animals and what makes them dangerous. My five year old AND my ten year old both love it and beg for “just one more page!” Definitely preorder! #BookAllies

Ruthie Rose's Big Idea, illustrated by Holly Hatam and written by me, releases on March 4, 2025! I dedicated Ruthie Rose's story to @loveofxena.bsky.social, a champion of poetry and school libraries. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/774231...

Would it even be a major holiday if at least one kid isn’t sick? 🥺😖💔

My next winter break read is Tear This Down by @barbaradee.bsky.social ! So excited for this one! #BookAllies

Ava Lin One of a Kind is a sweet read full of important lessons for kids about kindness, friendship & doing what’s right. Perfect read aloud for k/first grade and great independent reading for 2nd and 3rd graders. I love this series and can’t wait to read more! @fangmousbooks.bsky.social #BookAllies

As a parent of a child w/a life-long invisible illness that causes chronic pain… As a teacher… as a human being… this story was heart-wrenching honest, open, depressing, full of love, and full of stoic hope. Sweeney takes full advantage of comics &makes us emotionally involved

Please Pay Attention by Jamie Sumner is a phenomenal and heartbreaking book that every adult and lawmaker needs to read the second it publishes in April. An upper grade NIV that tackles the subject of school shootings in a very honest and thoughtful way. (1/2)

On the second day of winter break I’m reading Please Pay Attention by Jamie Sumner. It’s an upper MG NIV and I’m so excited to dive in! #BookAllies

YA NIV about friendship, struggle & the difficult decisions one has to make when their friends make bad choices. A powerful book that’s impossible to put down. Beautiful, thought provoking, heartbreaking. I loved every page of this book by Rex Ogle. Preorder immediately, pubs in March 💜 #BookAllies

As we head off for break, I’m reflecting on all we’ve accomplished so far this year. 16 weeks of #FirstChapterFriday including books by @jarrett-lerner.bsky.social @traceywest.bsky.social @laurenmagaziner.bsky.social @victoriajcoe.bsky.social @studiojjk.bsky.social @rrremylai.bsky.social and more!

We are VERY excited to read all of these books by Stuart Gibbs! Thank you Simon Kids!! @simonkids.bsky.social

Sending love & fortitude to all of my teacher & school librarian friends braving these last days before winter break!

Tonight Noah’s reading Matteo by @michaelleali.bsky.social and I’m reading When We Ride by Rex Ogle 🤩📚

Thank you so so much @simonkids.bsky.social for this incredible stack of Stuart Gibbs books! My class will be ecstatic tomorrow when they see when I’m bringing in! 📚📚📚😍

Leanna picked this gem from the library and we both loved it so much! Harriet Ziefert captured me perfectly and turned me into a cute little bird 😆 Leanna and I laughed through this adorable graphic novel for young readers!

Thank you @devpetty.bsky.social for this beautiful, hilarious, and heartfelt book! Leanna and I loved reading it together tonight! I can’t wait to read it with my third graders. The story is fantastic and the illustrations by @mikeboldt.bsky.social are stunning 🤩🫎🎅🏻

Today we’re seeing… 🤩
