Book reviews are few and far between so #IndieBookstore @joshthelibromancer.bsky.social and @portersqbooks.bsky.social are doing something about it! Cool story from NeimanLab! Love the initiative here and giving their Review of Books a follow! #amreading #indie www.niemanlab.org/2026/06/book...

"Oh Bad Morning, eyes are crusty, bones are rusty." Some days are just so much harder to start, so I always remember @chelseaauthor.bsky.social and Hyewon Yum's "Ode to a Bad Day." It reminds me that every bad day ends and there's always the promise of an awesome one next morning! #kidlitchat

TOPIC: While we're still thinking about fresh beginnings, what are some of your all-time favorite first lines in children's books? ("Where's Papa going with that ax?" is already taken!) And what do you think makes a first line really grab the reader? #kidlitchat

New year, new wishes. Dreams are what make humans, human. I've traveled around the world, and wishes written on paper are what I've witnessed time and time again, in #Tokyo #Madrid #LosAngeles. They are beautiful. They remind me that we are all reaching for something we will make real one day.

Write early in the morning or late at night when you are a little tired, it may help you remove your inner rejection voices when you happen to have them. #AmWriting Sneak up on your brain and write. #Writing. - Wrtr #Writer #Author #BookSky #AuthorSky

Is #kidlitchat as inevitable as the tides? No. But it does happen every Tuesday at 9PM Eastern/6PM Pacific here on Bluesky, and since this is Tuesday, that means I'm hoping you'll join me and your #kidlit friends and soon to be friends for an hour of chatting tonight. Hope to see you then!
