I‘m finally going to read this series all the way through. I started it when my mom would read to me every night in elementary school, but my mom stopped reading to me in middle school and the books weren‘t the same so I never finished the series. I‘m excited to finally start again!

Enjoying the warm sunshine and a fantastic book! I love how Cat Winters really captures a time period and creates strong female characters breaking against all barriers. Plus, this is a retelling of Hamlet! #hamlet #Shakespeare #catwinters #yalit #1920s #rebellion

1. The Steep and Thorny Way by Cat Winters (Hamlet retelling. Ah!😆)
2. My Spring Break started today, woo!
3. Lilies but more specifically tiger lilies.
3. Chocolate eggs.

Just started this series and I love it so far! It‘s got some mystery and I love discovering the world as I read.

Violet: “Everyone goes on with their lives, and maybe I can‘t keep up. Maybe I don‘t want to.”

This book is about being confident in your own skin and telling those who pick on you “I don‘t care”and meaning it. Willow Dean is inspiring not because of her confidence but because her lack of. It‘s okay to have insecurities and many people don‘t say that. This book is worth reading no matter what size you are. #yalit #fat #insecurity #virginiareader

I love promoting books in my classroom. For all you teachers out there, how do you promote books? #virginiareaders

This inspiring graphic novel really shows what it‘s like to be a middle schooler. Friendships change and Astrid just wants to find where she fits in. Great easy read!

About halfway through this Virginia Reader. So good and so sad! Worth the read. #virginiareaders

I‘m a little late with posting but thank you thank you thank you to @shendrix413 I love all the bookmarks and chocolate. The stuffed latte cup is adorable and I am so excited to read my new books!!! #CupidGoesPostal @MrBook @BookBabe @Avanders

So excited to open my valentine exchange! Feb. 14 can‘t come soon enough! #CupidGoesPostal @shendrix413 @MrBook @BookBabe @Avanders

I started listening to Artemis on my drive and I love it! Weir knows how to develop snarky sarcastic and likable characters. I also love Rosario Dawson‘s voice. It is perfect for the character. Listening to audiobooks really helps on long drives.

Just send my secret gift exchange! #CupidGoesPostal #ValentinesBookExchange

Just a lazy Sunday with my book!

First book of the new year! I love the mystery and backwards story telling.

Even though I just joined litsy today, I am hitting the ground running! I joined a book exchange and I hope to meet more people and add more books to me list. Thanks for setting this up! @Avanders @MrBook @BookBabe #CupidGoesPostal #ValentinesBookExchange

I don‘t normally like nonfiction, but this book was so well written I couldn‘t put it down! This story of friendship and kindness is told in a narrative format that is compelling and intriguing. The kindness these two people show is incredible and the story will make you think more about what you can do to help others.
I actually had the privilege of meeting the two wonderful authors and their kindness is inspiring.

L‘Engle‘s story is an intriguing journey into space. It‘s about the fight against the dark and the need to embrace individuality.
L‘Engle has a unique writing style and it took awhile to adjust to it.
This book is for those who like sci-fi, but it does take some time to get in to. Once you get used to the writing style, it is a good read.
