I’m looking to shift from my iPhone 8 Plus to an iPhone 17 Pro Max…but I have no idea what storage size to get. 📱 I’ve always gone for the largest size possible (256 GB on my current phone, which is the smallest option on the 17). HELP! 😫

#CreativeJamesMedia @msteelewrites #bookposse @HalburJennifer i’m heading to the post office with this one! I will definitely add this to my collection. I loved the spunky, determined, and empathetic main character. It also is a great mentor text for historical fiction.

I read this one for the first time this summer, and I’m now determined to read the entire series. It was pure brilliance. THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE by C. S. Lewis #middlegrade #middlegradefiction #middlegradereads #middlegradelit #narnia #chroniclesofnarnia

My new friend @djbobrunkel told me the thing that made him want to go to school was knowing his teacher would read this book to the class. It inspired me to read it myself, and I have to say, it’s fantastic. Teacher read-alouds change lives! FREAK THE MIGHTY by @RodmanPhilbrick

At first, I wondered why @clayaiken was interested in my middle-grade book. But then I remembered we redheads have an unspoken bond—that includes me, Clay, and Not Lucille.
