Sometimes, I hear people wonder whether anyone uses libraries anymore. Here’s the @sun_library at 9:45 a.m. Full parking lot. Overflowing storytime. Folks browsing, meeting and connecting.

Just finished SIMON SORT OF SAYS and 200% agree with @DanGemeinhart👇Put SIMON (and Dan's imminently forthcoming COYOTE LOST AND FOUND) on your TBR!! These two authors gift us beautifully crafted, poignant novels to treasure!🙌🙌
The blurb on the cover calls this one “remarkable,” and I 100% agree. A triumph. This one joins both the list of books that made me cry on a plane, and books that made me laugh out loud on a plane. Truly heartbreaking & hilarious, which is very hard to do. Loved it! @erinbowbooks

Just a few picks from my shelf that I book-talked after sharing DIRT AND BUGSY with young kiddos last week on #WRAD. Sent them off to read, write, connect, and explore. 🐝📚💚

SO excited for the sequel to #CoyoteSunrise. Coming 2-27-24!
I cannot explain the joy I felt reading this book this morning. It was like being reunited with a long lost friend. I laughed and cried with Coyote. I can’t wait to read it again and hold a copy in my hands. It was an awesome sequel! I hope her story doesn’t end here.
