It’s my Book Birthday—and I’ll sign if I want to! I can’t wait for all readers to spend time in Effie’s world. 📚🦌🥳🤟🏻

🍂📖My annual reminder that THE MIRACULOUS is the perfect autumn read, featuring changing leaves, graveyards, maybe-witches, trick-or-treating, new friendships, grief, healing, & community. us.macmillan.com/books/97803743…

People who become quite good writers tend to be those who have spent a lot of time being quite bad writers and did not, as a result, run away from themselves. Never underestimate the power of having a strong stomach for your own shortcomings.

Happy book birthday to THE SHADOW ROAD by K.D. Kirchmeier 🎉 🎉 🎉 For fans of Rick Yancey and Neal Shusterman, comes a thrilling tale of survival as dragon-like monsters invade, and two unlikely heroes must save humanity from annihilation. bloomsbury.com/us/shadow-road…

THE MIRACULOUS is indeed a perfect autumn read. What a beautiful and heartfelt story, Jess Redman. #MGLit 💛 #kidlit Thanks for the recommendation, @MrsCHeidrich!

I've been posting about The Miraculous being an autumn book, and I realized...I have a book for every season! 🍂❄️🌷☀️

You know what you could fill that empty spot with, Goodreads? #MGLit. No good reason to have taken this away.

🎉Crushed it!

My 11yo drew the characters from my #WIP, and I love them (and her) so very much 🥰

📚 Middle school #librarian friends! I ran a book club at my last job at a nature center, and it was awesome. So of course, I want to start one at my school. Got any tips? Book recs?

The First State of Being written by Erin Entrada Kelly wins the Newbery Medal. #alayma #alayma25 #newbery

📚 ❤️ #Teachers, I hope you know that when you read aloud, your students come to the #library clamoring for more books by that author…and for more books about that topic… and just for MORE BOOKS! I can’t think of anything that inspires a child to read more than being read to.

Hooray!! Can't wait to talk about The Adventure Is Now at one of my favorite places 🏝️💚📗

Happy birthday, Jess Redman!

ME, to a group of 6th grade school library regulars: If I start an afterschool book club, will you all join? 6th GRADERS: YEEEEESSSS!!!! ME: 🥹🥰
