When my husband said we were going on a mini Black

When my husband said we were going on a mini Black bookstore crawl for my birthday yesterday I was so excited. Doing a bookstore crawl has definitely been on my bucket list.

I missed the big all day crawl earlier this year but I am definitely putting it on my list for next year.

Thank you to @44thand3rdbookseller and @lovevillagebooks for being so warm, welcoming and providing great customer service. I will be back!

What books were you reading in middle school? I was reading Christopher Pike because there were no books like these with strong female characters with a little bit of magic and goth but not too much so I could actually sleep at night.

This is a great range of cozy magic to really spooky ghost busting for every type of reader this spooky season.

Happy Idigenous people's day!

Honoring the culture, traditions, and stolen land of the first inhabitants of this nation we call America. They are still here and their voices matter.

You just found a middle grade novel with fantasy, Mexican and immigrant representation, high stakes and an elite magical academy....what more are you looking for?

I had the pleasure of working with a group of Hispanic high schoolers last week as they shared their hopes, dreams and fears for a better America. The thing that stuck with me was how happy they were to be in a room with people who got it. Who understood what it was like to walk in their shoes.

It made me think of Chloe Vega, what having a book like this would mean to those kids, and how representation, that feeling of being seen, heard and understood is so universal.

Fall Picture books on your shelves have all the leaves, pumpkins and squirrel nuttines so common this time of year but do they also have books that represent the readers in your household or classroom?

This becomes increasingly harder to do the older kids get. So make sure to let kids seem themselves frolicking in leaves, and picking pumpkins and living their best cozy lives early on.
