    ALA Galley Haul

    exhibit floor

    As promised, I want to share with you all the galleys I was able to pick up while at the American Library Association’s Annual Conference. I’m going to assume you haven’t been to this conference or know anyone who has, so let me explain. Like most conferences, the American Library…

    It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 4/2/18

    I had a great weekend, the library was closed on Friday, so I got to spend a (scheduled) day off getting stuff done, which felt awesome. I also started working on a new project for my blog and am really happy with how it’s looking (more on that at a…

    Middle Grade ARCs I Picked Up At PLA

    I talked yesterday about the awesome experience I had at PLA this past weekend. What I didn’t get to finish talking about is that I picked up so many great ARCs that I’m having a hard time deciding what to start reading first. If you’re unfamiliar with a large library…

    It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/25/18

    It was definitely a strange week – I was at work Monday & Tuesday, we had a snow day on Wednesday, I was at the PLA conference Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and we had a friend’s wedding Friday night. Plus, with friends in town this weekend, we had dinner plans…

    I’m getting back into my reading after a slow week from #24in48 recovery! This week I managed to read a good amount and now I’m planning on returning what was left in that pile – I’m not going to get to it before they become overdue and I’ll start a…

    It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 2/5/18

    After all that reading last weekend for #24in48, I didn’t read much this week, I finished up Smack Dab in the Middle of Maybe by Jo Watson Hackl, a Netgalley ARC that worked on my ancient Nook. My Nook is giving me some trouble still, so I tried downloading just one…

    I’m tooting my own horn today, because I participated in #24in48 and read for 24 hours during a 48 hour period this weekend! It was A LOT of reading and I’m really proud of myself for being able to do it! I’ll be talking more about my experience this week,…

    It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 1/21/18

    I’m currently on a reading roll, I love how much time I’m devoting to reading and I feel better for doing so. I tend to feel a little more balanced, relaxed and comfortable when I’m reading regularly. This week I read: A Rambler Steals Home by Carter Higgins The Poet’s…

    It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 9/11/17

    This list will look familiar from last week, because I’m on vacation and typing up my posts in advance, so these are the titles I have with me on vacation! With sightseeing and traveling, I’m not sure how much time I’ll actually have to read, but I love having options to…

    It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 9/4/17

    I’m getting ready for vacation, so I took some time to request some titles from NetGalley to have some digital galleys to read while traveling. Digital books are not my favorite to read – I just love reading a real book, but when I travel, I don’t have enough room…
