LibrarianBookends (Steph 💛& Mary❤️) #NCTE2023さんのイラストまとめ

We can’t help it... we love this series as much as the kids do! The Bad Guys are back in Book 12: The Bad Guys in The One?! by Aaron Blabey. As always, these characters are funny and the story is full of crazy adventures- and certainly left us hanging & ready for number 13!

Today we preordered two middle grade books that we are anxiously awaiting the release of: @jasminewarga’s The Shape of Thunder and @annbradenbooks’s Flight of the Puffin. Is it too early to start watching the mail? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ #mglit

Our public library had Monster and Boy by @HannahRBarnaby on display, & @foxville_art’s adorable cover art drew us to add it to our stack of checkouts. The story is perfectly whimsical & the relationship between the two characters caused huge grins to appear on both of our faces.

We just fell in love with the March girls - and a fresh, new version of their story - all over again. 😊 #YAlit

Jo: An Adaptation of Little Women (Sort Of) by @kagcomix

Day 19 of #MGBooktober: There’s sooo much #mglit to look forward to in 2021, but EngiNerds Strike Back by @Jarrett_Lerner, A Place to Hang the Moon by @katealbus, When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Peach Pie by @erindowning, & Alone by @meganefreeman are all at the top of our list!

“I tell her I love her as many times as my mouth allows me to.”

The Brave by @jamesbirdwriter: that time we finished an honest & beautiful middle grade book, and we were left speechless enough that our review looks like this:
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Graphic novels are our jam, but our fave ever is Gabby & Gator by @jamesburksart. This is *that* book for us- the one that started our fangirling for #graphicnovels. (And the updated G&G releases in one week- we ordered multiple copies already!) Yay for Day 13 of #MGBooktober! 🐊

Our favorite middle grade genre is an impossible task because it totally depends on our moods! But since we are always ready for a funny book, here’s a shout out to a few of our laugh-out-loud faves for Day 8 of #MGBooktober: The Real McCoys, Bernice Buttman, & Beatrice Zinker!

It’s Day 4 of #MGBooktober! A nonfiction author that we love learning from? That’s easy! Katherine Roy not only illustrates beautifully, she does deep research for her books. Best part? During her live presentations her stories & videos cause jaw drops from kids of all ages. 🦈🐘

“To make matters worse, Eleanor - that was the name of his human - had forced him to wear the Big White Cone of Shame.”

Oh, how we love Horace Homer Higgins III & Bunwinkle/Winkie/Butt Wrinkle. What a duo! 🐶🐷

Horace & Bunwinkle by @SwitzerPj & @dmott70 is a #kidlit must read!
