Day 29 ~ I don't have the time to binge series anymore, as I'm always on the lookout for new books for my students. But when I was a kid, I binged them all the time, especially Narnia.

A8 My most recent reads are the super cool and fun LAST GAMER STANDING by and the luscious, magical YA fantasy, A MAGIC STEEPED IN POISON by (out in March 2022). Both are must reads!

At the risk of sounding repetitious, my two favorites are some I've mentioned in previous days. THE REMARKABLE JOURNEY OF COYOTE SUNRISE, by , and FIGHTING WORDS, by . These books had me crying and whooping for joy in equal measures.

Day 22 ~ It has such great visuals, I'd love to see Witch Hat Aterlier get a film! I think animation is the way to go for this one, since art is the source of magic. Don't ask me about casting, though!

Day 20 ~ I always loved the cover for 's Front Desk, illustrated by —which is why my heart nearly stopped when I found out she was doing the cover for Spell Sweeper.

14 The very next book up on my TBR is 's GARLIC AND THE VAMPIRE, and I can't wait. I'm trying not to flip through it too much and spoiler myself but it is just so cool.

Day 12 Don't you love when an author includes a glossary? I learned a lot about sailing in this MG fav by .
Set in Oregon, the changing tides reminded me of hometown CHS.

Day 8: The magical item I want is from The Twelve by — the Coppice Comb! It causes trees to sprout around you, protecting you from danger. (But I want to point out that there are many amazing treasures in this book series.)

Day 6 of - I could not put down Show Me a Sign by . Historical fiction is not typically a favorite genre of mine but Mary's story and learning the history captivated me. I can't wait for my library hold of Set Me Free to come to my local branch!

A middle-grade book I couldn’t put down. Xan is a memorable character, and the prose is beautiful.

Day 6 of I literally read STARFISH in one sitting. I didn't move, I didn't get up to use the bathroom, nothing. Couldn't put it down. I still can't believe that captured the very real experiences so many of us lived through so perfectly.
