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!

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 5 - I always wanted to live in The Emerald City (especially as depicted by ). Who doesn't want to hang out with that zany citizenry? But I would also love to live in Koriko from Kiki's Delivery Service by Eiko Kadono.
