One of my favorite things about summer reading is hyping the free audiobooks from AudioBookSync. If you’re a teenager or you know teenagers who like audiobooks, AudioBookSync is definitely something to check out. They return on April 26. There are some awesome titles this summer, too. When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon Solo by … More AudioBookSync is Coming Back!
Hello, readers. I just wanted to pop in and tell you that I’m smothered in books I’ve read that I want to review. Time is an illusive something-or-other.

And that’s really all I … More Moving House

So when a friend of ours said she was looking for an accountability partner this summer so she would actually work on this book she’s been writing for a number of years, I jumped at the chance at having … More Crying While Reading in Public
This week’s Blogger Hop question comes from Elizabeth at Silver’s Reviews. Elizabeth asks Do you ever go “way back” to when you first started blogging and look at your old review posts? Do you see any differences from then to now? Because this space was created initially for my students to find books that they … More The Way-Back Machine
In my mind, I try to keep my Monday Musings posts on topics that are not books and reading, but in absence of inspiration and in the presence of book mail, I thought I’d run with my Literary YA box from PageHabit. This month’s box was curated by Aditi Khorana. I’m more excited about reading … More #LYA05: Aditi Khorana
You may or may not know that I’m in a ukulele club. And you may or may not know that I also play cajon. This weekend was my ukulele club’s ukulele festival, and I had the opportunity to sit in with one of our instructors, Danielle Ate the Sandwich. I can’t even tell you how … More Sitting in with Danielle Ate the Sandwich
