Another outstanding addition to the O&U series, narrative NF as a father & son snorkel. Love to search splendid illustrations for animals mentioned in lyrical text, then find out more in the back matter. 5⭐️ @KateMessner @csneal @DISD_Libraries #NFfriday #bookaday

Told thru flashbacks between the discovery of astrophage, Hail Mary prep, and current space travel, #RayPorter narration is epic! Gotta love Rocky! What a fabulous ending! As good as movie was, the audiobook was 1000 times better! 5⭐️@andyweirauthor #bookaday

Tension for best friends at the start of middle school. Jackie gets teased for not looking girlie, Milo has new friends from soccer team. Secret admirer notes from herself - gotta backfire, right? Excellent MG feel! #AaronBagley @JessixaBagley @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Powerful story of a teen girl traveling clandestinely to Sri Lanka to connect with her mother when her journalist father won’t take her with him. Mom is running an orphanage, kids notice beach waves, then tsunami hits! #SJSindu #DionMBD @HarperCollins @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Just when you think it’s one person from the March family circle, they seem to get cleared and another one is under suspicion, including the sisters themselves! Twisty! Great, subtle chapter cliffhangers. 5⭐️ #KatieBernet @simonschuster @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Casey helps her prepper dad build fences, 16 years later she is an ER doctor/intern when the zombie chaos erupts. Thrilling zombie action, blood & gore, tender family moments, humor, spice! How can you be in a love triangle in the apocalypse? 😉end @JenevaRose63382 #bookaday

Lots of changes as Lia turns 13, her family moves from Romania to Montreal. All the middle school things: friend drama, crushes, school committees/clubs, homework, family drama, and getting her period. 5⭐️ #CassandraCalin @GraphixBooks @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

@thenextgenlib This is our neighborhood book club book for April! Looking forward to reading it.

An adult #thriller that was a solid who-done-it and great on audio! bookshop.org/a/102434/97805… #librarytwitter #booktwitter #bookrecommendation #librarians #librarian

Gorgeous paintings reveal the history of we, the birthplace of man in the African continent. Love how time progresses thru various cultural aspects like housing, music, travel, food, etc. Informative back matter, timeline. 5⭐️ @4NIKKOLAS @DISD_Libraries #NFfriday #bookaday

Deceptively simple story with big meaning, based on author’s life experience. Moving author note with school photos of Archie & Daniel, and later him as Mr. Gill. Subtle message of acceptance and speaking up. 5⭐️ #DanGill #SusanGal @littlebrown @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

For fans of Narwhal & Jelly (attentive readers will notice a waffle nod to them) who are ready for more text and a traditional superhero comic book storyline. Discovered superpowers, facts, and puns galore! #BenClanton #CassandraFederman @DCOfficial @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Mostly unlikable main characters abound in this reimagining of Wuthering Heights, toxic, obsessive relationships set in competitive ice dancing world. Full cast audio includes retired skater now sports commentator #JohnnyWeir! Couldn’t stop listening! 5⭐️ @LayneFargo #bookaday

@goodreads Reading every day on my kindle - 700 days and counting! 💪🏼

Fill in the blank! My reading habit I can't break is ___________.

Depressing beginning for Phoebe (failed marriage, miscarriage of final attempt of IVF). She goes to exclusive inn for a final day of life when she finds it full of wedding people that she ultimately connects with instead. #AlisonEspach #HenryHolt #bookaday

Mei Mei is bored so she tries to scare the cat and whoosh, Ama’s mug is broken, resulting in the biggest guilt complex ever! Illustrations are best part - facial expressions for the girl, grandma, and cat are on point! 5⭐️#XFang @TundraBooks @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Big guffaw at the surprise ending! ❤️ Zebra & Yak! The littles will be sure to giggle at the potential B entry, as well as other surprising turns of events. Be sure to add this to your alphabet book storytimes! 5⭐️#PaulFriedrich @penguinkids @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

The endangered Mexican prairie dog is not a dog but a rodent! Love that children’s letters helped bring about a protected area for the prairie dogs in Mexico. Cute but realistic pics. #ClaudiaGuadalupeMartinez #LauraGonzalez @charlesbridge @DISD_Libraries #NFfriday #bookaday

Rot has big ambitions! When he finds a crown he wants to be king of the world. He wants to scare his big brother Snot but even spy school doesn’t help, or does it? Dad jokes and silly puns abound! #BenClanton @DISD_Libraries @simonschuster #bookaday

5 centuries, 3 ladies who don’t feel seen, wanting more from their lives, in this melancholy paranormal tale with a bittersweet ending. Excellently narrated by @justjuliawhelan, #KatieLeung, & @marisacalin! I liked Lottie’s story best. @veschwab #bookaday

Mega drought, human causes making family farming extremely difficult in SW. We dream for the land as it once was, and could be again. Note about indigenous climate action. Gorgeous illustrations. 5⭐️ #LaekanZeaKemp #LeoEspinosa @anneschwartzbks @DISD_Libraries #bookaday
