2023 Blogging A to Z: Quiet
This was a list that I created for the 12-year-old me. The kid whose nose was forever in a book because I was quiet and shy and definitely an introvert. Books were (and still are) a safety net for me, something to occupy myself with when I was too uncomfortable…

We’re moving right along through the alphabet this month! Today’s letter is “P” and I decided to focus on playful kids, or kids that still have strong, active imaginations.

2023 Blogging A to Z: Intellectual
For today’s adjective, I wanted to share some nonfiction titles for kids and teens who soak up information like a sponge.

Top Ten Tuesday: Titles with Animals In Them
Animal-focused books aren’t necessarily what I would pick up as my first choice. Partially, because I hate books with dogs in them because inevitably something happens to the dog. But, I’m more inclined to a realistic fiction title than something from an animal perspective. But I did learn a new…
