@tommygreenwald "I love Tommy Greenwald's books! I've never been able to read a chapter bk w/o losing interest; his books are so interesting--the dialogue, the subjects...! I read Game Changer in 3 days! I'm looking forward to reading The Right Call for my LA project!" M.,Gr. 6

@RutaSepetys @SteveSheinkin You're very welcome, Ruta! After meeting you, I have become even more inspired & encouraged by you. I am taking really good notes on You: The Story. By tapping into my memories--the good, the bad, the heartbreaking & the humorous--my writing, is coming along.✍🏾📝📚

@LaudLibraries @SteveSheinkin Thank you so much, Lori!! 😍

@RutaSepetys @SteveSheinkin The Bletchley Riddle & I went out one day. I devoured the avocado toast, but I savored Bletchley! 'Finished it yesterday. I learned/laughed/gasped! Your teamwork is everything! PB & J? Hmm... Milk & cookies? Well... Ruta & Steve! Yes! Thank you!🧡📚🧡

@SteveSheinkin @RutaSepetys You're most welcome, Steve! And, yes, I was super happy to see you in person after so many years!! I'm looking forward to seeing you & Ruta online Monday afternoon!

@LaudLibraries @RutaSepetys Thank you Lori! It was so great to see you in Chicago!

A lot of folks are mad Mike Tyson collected $20 million to be fake in the ring for 8 rounds with Jake Paul, but the same people go to work & play fake for years with some people & we collect way less 🤣 Go #MikeTyson & Go #JakePaul #TysonPaul

@TODAYshow @wimpykid Jeff is great! I met him in 2016 at a presentation. He is as kind & humble as he is talented! I've been at another school for 9 years, & like before, I proudly hang the photo of us next to the Wimpy collection in our library. My students & I love the pic and the series! 🧡📚🧡

Jeff Kinney @wimpykid shares details about the 19th book in the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series “Hot Mess” that follows a Heffley family vacation and surprises the 3rd hour crew with an illustration of them!

@soulphoodie Bacon and green beans!😋

@heymrsbond I am not sure if this has been mentioned, but I have this lovely biographical poetry book in my middle school library. It is a gem for which my students and I are grateful!

@soulphoodie As someone who regularly prepares such *lightly-seasoned" and interesting combos, my initial thoughts were: 1. this person has just had a craving for their favorite things, and/or 2. said person is about to go on a vacation and needs to clean out the refrigerator!

Caption this dish....

@mychal3ts 🧡📚🧡

Long-awaited yet very necessary! Thank you so much @SteveSheinkin for your gift to the universe that helped my students and me learn about this little known, yet incredibly significant event in US and World History!

@TorreyMaldonado @tonyrossimedia @nancyrosep @SheedyLit @penguinusa @penguinkids Congratulations, Torrey! This is definitely well-deserved! My colleagues and my 6th grade Hands book clubbers (2 years running!) would totally agree! 🤜🏾🧡🤛🏾

A Christmasy, “Do you see what I see?” Today’s surprise mail. An early Father’s Day gift. My baby HANDS is growing up, getting awards. So honored for my 1st Christopher for TIGHT & now my 2nd. Thank you #Christophers @tonyrossimedia @nancyrosep @SheedyLit @penguinusa @penguinkids

Are you ready for Relit, a compilation of Latinx remixes of classic stories by @SandraProudman?! I'm looking forward to reading every single one, but I really can't wait for Trespassers Will Be...by @TorreyMaldonado! I know it's going to be a-MAZE-ing!

@TorreyMaldonado @nerdybookclub @FuseEight @CybilsAwards @nancyrosep Woohoo! Congratulations, Torrey! I am so glad others love Hands as much as my students and I!! 🤜🏾🧡🤛🏾

Entering ‘24 w/ BIG gratitude. ‘23 CYBILS Finalist. ‘23 Fuse #8 & SLJ Pick. ‘23 Nerdy Pick. Thankful to all who chose & uphold Hands—readers, nominators, judges, committees. THX for validating how I hope it adds to our 🌎. THX @nerdybookclub @FuseEight @CybilsAwards @nancyrosep

@TorreyMaldonado A. said that your words are ones that we hear all of the time, but the way you say them sounds like we've never heard them! They're new! Your sentences are so unique! It's like we're feeling all of the emotions Trev has!🤜🏾🧡🤛🏾 Shout-out to Ms. Larios & her crew!

@GaryRGrayJr Have you read Hands by @TorreyMaldonado?! It has totally become a fan favorite of my co-workers/fellow educators as well as of my middle schoolers! How about Tight? It's a perfect pick, too, because it resonates w/kids' daily struggles. I'd totally be up for a chat about both!

I have a 3 week break coming up.. and I want to read at least 3 books..what do you recommend?

@TorreyMaldonado @ambsmcbride Yep!😂🥴😂

@TorreyMaldonado @ambsmcbride You said it, Torrey! It's an awful environment to do anything in--teach, learn, let alone grow! I, too, have been "tempted to drink the Kool-Aid" and oftentimes feel "east-west" like you told us Trev feels in Hands. But, we have to stay strong, resist & continue to rise! ✊🏾
