So a fun thing happened today. I sat down to write a new blog post only to discover that not only had I forgotten to write my Book of the Month Unboxing post for April…but I never wrote one for March either.

I’m late. I had every intention of getting this post up at the end of March…but here we are…April 3rd…late, late, late. The good news is, that most of the books I am going to be sharing today haven’t actually published yet…so in a way I guess that makes me still on time? Let’s roll with that option. Anyway…getting ALL of that out of the way…I am so excited for the Middle-Grade Books that are publishing in April! There are SO many incredible books coming…I think you will love them! Let’s chat! The Mystery of Locked Rooms by Lindsay Currie First up we have The Mystery of Locked Rooms by Lindsay ..read more

I am going to age myself here…but…I used to type papers…on a typewriter. Don’t laugh. It wasn’t THAT long ago…OK, maybe it was…but that is neither here nor there. It happened…and it was fantastic. I can still hear the click of the keys and the sound of the paper getting pulled out at the top. So, when I tell you that the minute I saw the cover of this charming book, Olivetti, I jumped at the chance to review it. Little did I know that it would end up being a 5 star read. Perfect for fans of Kate DiCamillo and Katherine Applegate, Olivetti by Allie Millington is your next great middle grade rea ..read more

I spend way too much time scrolling through my Bookstagram feed. I don’t even call it Instagram anymore because I am essentially there for one purpose…to peruse, swoon, and ogle the gorgeous books. When I first started sharing on Bookstagram I had never even heard the word “flatlay” let alone try to create one myself. How the heck do you even start? How do you know what to get for props? Do you even need props? Over the years I quickly learned that there is no right way to Bookstagram. The beauty of it is that it is so diverse…and it is a creative outlet for your personality! How boring would ..read more

I am sitting here attempting to write this February Reading Wrap-Up and I don’t even remember a minute of February. It was a blur and lasted 2.4 seconds and felt like some kind of weird time warp.

I finished 9 books…and really enjoyed all of them! So let’s take a peek at my February Reading Wrap-Up! How did your reading go this month? Any great books? Let’s chat!
