@GwenythReitz Or their teachers. 🤦‍♀️

@mypbjam @cormorantbooks @alllitupcanada Thank you!

@huizingamills @cormorantbooks @alllitupcanada Congratulations!

My novel made a list and this is very, very exciting for me! 📖✨ #WritingCommunity #authorlife @cormorantbooks @alllitupcanada alllitup.ca/Blog/2023/Top-…

@jeanmillswriter @FireflyBooks Uh oh. This happened to me, too! Eventually they were found. I had to reschedule some signings, but the books did finally make their way to their destinations.

To all my kind readers, eager to get their hands on my new book (me too!): I think they're sitting in a box at @FireflyBooks warehouse. I hope, one day soon, someone finds them & lets them out. Until then, we all wait. Thank you for your patience 😢

Lana’s presentations are amazing! Tell your teacher friends. #onted

Here’s hoping some sugar gets the words… doing something. 🖊️ #WritingCommunity

@hoosusannah @RW_Igloo I need to get back into attending. This was inspiring. Maybe I’ll crack one of my unused notebooks and plan to show up again. ✏️

@hoosusannah Sounds right to me.

@MsGaudun I’m looking forward to this! Now, just hoping some people come out! 🤞

A Discussion with Author Carolyn Huizinga Mills TUESDAY, MAY 16, 2023 AT 7 PM – 8 PM Waterloo Public Library fb.me/e/1bRvGH8Da

I’m so excited about this next event at the Eastside Branch of the @WaterlooLibrary! Once again, there will be @Esta_Chocolates! 📚 🍫 💫 calendar.wpl.ca/event/8012280 #writingcommunity #authorlife

Join local author @huizingamills at Grand River Stanley Park Library on Saturday, May 6 for reading of her 2022 novel "Sins of the Daughter" with an author Q&A, door prizes and book signing. Register to attend kpl.org/programs-and-e…

@rachkmc I actually just stopped watching Ted. But I am LOVING Schmigadoon, which I know you also ❤️.

guys i am not loving what is going on in Ted. the writing is too uneven right now and people are speaking out of character ( Roy) and one adorable Trent Crimm "woof" does not an even episode make. it's like they have all the ingredients but forgot how to mix them

@theonlykendra This is exactly my philosophy.

Last night, I went to the yoga and meditation class. Tonight, I will stay home on the couch and drink wine.

It's been a busy week for new blog posts! Today, go behind the scenes with @huizingamills and @samanthalucyh as they chat about their new book, GRANDPA'S STARS. picturebookseh.weebly.com/blog/behind-th… @FitzWhits @kidsbookcentre @ireadcanadian @CANSCAIP

I promised chocolate at my next author event. And now, thanks to @Esta_Chocolates, it will be locally handcrafted truffles! Stop by the Grand River Stanley Park Branch of the @KitchLibrary this Saturday from 2:00-3:30. Register: kpl.org/programs-and-e…

@MrsMaffinPirie @pennykittle Amazing!

AHHH! I am a recipient of the Book Love Foundation grant. $1000 to spend on my classroom library and I cannot wait to put more amazing books in the hands of my students. Thank you @pennykittle!
