I have some amazing news. I have been appointed to and accepted to be a member of the John Newbery Award Committee for 2026! Can you believe it? I hardly can. It's the best thing ever!

@mars_stu The second one looks like it has an old waterbed?

Just look at these beautiful new views of Mars sent back by Perseverance... Wind-blown dunes of cinnamon-hued dust, strewn with boulders, rocks & stones, as far as the eye can see... Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/S Atkinson

@WendelinVanD I like to check out a lot of books! I only got through 2 in this pile.

@muellerspace 😲

So I have a few graphic novels to read this weekend... I made a pile to start with, but if you have any you highly recommend, let me know! I won't get to them all!

And look how full the stadium is!

@chitownchica @whitesox @NASAArtemis @MLB Ooh, next time I'm at a game I'll go looking!

@muellerspace @whitesox @NASAArtemis @MLB Rate Field, the main store! 🚀🚀🚀 Last year I got a Frank Thomas, Straight Outta Orbit shirt that had him hitting a baseball into space! ❤️

Love it when my two favorite things come together, space and baseball! And I’m not used to having options, but I went with To The Mune because 2026 is the year of Artemis and all things Moon! 🚀🌕⚾️ @whitesox @NASAArtemis #tothemoon #baseball @MLB

Finished my first graphic novel of the day, Katie the Catsitter: Villain Con and on to my next, Witch Hat Atelier book 1!

@MsYingling Oh bummer! Thanks!

@muellerspace I just plowed through several E ARCs that ended up not being anything I want to purchase. Might not even write reviews. Good luck on your readathon!

I'm doing my own graphic novel readathon this weekend if anyone wants to join in!

@oodja Katie the Catsitter: Villain Con.

@muellerspace AHHH I LOVE IT! Which book?

This book was channeling its inner you, @oodja.

Find the bird...

@oodja This happened to me the other day! In and out of a blood draw in 15 minutes! One stick! My hero!

I have no idea how to process a visit to the doctor where there's nothing but good news. Even the phlebotomist was able to draw my blood on the first needle stick. I left the office in a semi-daze of elated confusion.

To celebrate launch, @troikabooks is doing a giveaway of Last Hope Highway, plus 5 x KEEP THE HOPE, REWILD THE WORLD postcards of #llanddwyn lighthouse, from a lino print by my daughter 🫶 Follow, tell me a wild place that inspires you, repost. Ends July 31. #middlegrade #scifi

@RachelDelahaye @TroikaBooks A place that inspires me is the Smoky Mountains!

I love that these guys are having fun.

I skipped an event today, and I don't regret it. Got laundry done, naps, bloodwork, reading.

@TechLifeWeb I got the rejection letter.

@muellerspace Nope. Unless it went to my spam and I didn't notice.

Has anyone that applied to the NGR launch NASA Social heard back that they made it in? #NASA #NASASocial

@TFroehlig Is this a Kaner reference?

I think we all know what this means....
