Absolutely loved the Andy Berman episode of @psychologistpod! Andy seems like a tried and true fellow psycho! 😀🍍

Wearing #pearlsAndChucks for V.P. Harris and using my voice to reach out to state politicians and ask them to forgoe standardized testing this crazy school year! #RedForEd @SCforEd

@Scott_Thought Just got done with the second book in the Nyxia series and LOVED IT! Fun surprises and I am totally ready to jump into the third book today. Thanks for the story!

Thank you to @jasminewarga for writing 'Other Words for Home.' It was educational, emotional, inspiring and an important story that needs to be available for middle grade kids! #_=_" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">goodreads.com/review/show/36…

Mind blown!

@MrPowley - so well deserved! Congrats to you!

@goodreads Other Words for Home by @jasminewarga! Should be fitting to this strange and different Thanksgiving experience- new things!

It’s Friday! What are you planning on reading this weekend?

Yes this took me all day to put together and yes I cussed at many staplers.... but it also represents one of the reasons I absolutely LOVE reading!

This seems like an encouraging read we all need! I have missed President Obama's eloquence. #APromisedLand theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Having fun planning for my Ghostly Giveaways in the library next week with daily contests and read alouds! #CreativityInTheLibrary #mglit

Wow- I flew through reading Nyxia because of the great characters, action, suspense and writing! #MGLit It felt so real and also like science-fiction at the exact same time. Thanks to @Scott_Thought for a great read... looking forward to the next 2 books!

I got to read the exciting Nyxia book at work today! Love it when that happens. First few lines got me hooked with imagery- “Each of them wears the same charcoal suit. It looks like someone threaded smoke into formal wear.” #mglit @Scott_Thought I’m loving it!

I am wearing #RedforEd today to support the district in sticking to the Back to School plan that they submitted over the summer. Please consider the dangers to everyone in the building if a habit of ‘throwing caution to the wind’ is used this school year. @SCforEd

Can’t say enough how much I love @JasonReynolds83 books! ‘For everyone’ was a great way to bring an uplifting moment to the day! @Leckeythetechie, you should use in your slam poem unit. 😃 great way to visualizes slam poem! #mglit goodreads.com/review/show/35…

I definitely see why @gordonkorman is a popular #mgbooks writer! Recommended as a light read for educators as well as middle schoolers. goodreads.com/review/show/35…

Just happened to be wearing my ‘be nice’ shirt when making a book talk for #BullyPreventionMonth. Also happen to be reading The Unteachables which *spoiler* I think might have a moral of accepting yourself as you are and standing up for what/who you believe in!

I probably enjoy filling the library with big pics of authors more than the students do! It’s super creepy when you first walk into the dark library in the morning and there are just like 15 faces staring at you. 😂

Wearing black in solidarity of the 3 lovely people in S.C. Ed who have died from COVID this school year. I am also contacting my legislators to reflect on what’s working and what’s not! #SCforEd #inmemoryofdemi #inmemoryofbigpete #inmemoryofwendell

I am happy to announce that I will be the librarian at Black Water Middle in the fall. It is difficult to leave such fantastic Early College High coworkers but I know this is a good step in my career. Love y’all Trailblazers! Looking forward to becoming a #BWMS Bear!

Reflecting on 8 yrs in #HCSLibraryMedia, I choose this because I love collaborating/supporting teachers, finding creative approaches to celebrate reading, and getting books in the hands of teens! Books change who you are if you're reading the right voice for you. #HCSInfluencers
