Hey #kidlit: do you have your Goodnight Moon stamps yet?
New review for SPELLING IT OUT up at PW. Of all the books I’ve written, this one is my husband’s favorite. I think it’s because he is introspective and stays true to himself. It’s available May, 13.
Just two weeks until my latest #mglit drops! But you can already get a #free #activityguide for this and my other books over at my @simonkids author page. www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Marg...
How cow! You can win a full set of my #MiddleGrade books from @teachingbooks.bsky.social. That’s five books! Submit an entry here: forum.teachingbooks.net/2025/04/cont... And good luck!!!!
Thank you so much for reading! #bookposse is the best.
Jennifer Hottinger@hottsnewreads.bsky.social · last yr.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Ben’s story will resonate with so many. My own grandmother and father in law began with forgetting things. Ben’s spelling journey and family journey will capture your heart. Heading to you, @destinylawyer #bookposse @barbfisch @simonkids.bsky.social @finneganbegin.bsky.social
What inspires more #delight than a video of a dog? A video of a dog opening a box full of books. In this case, the box is full of my author copies of SPELLING IT OUT, which drops May 13, 2025. If you like, spelling, and nerds, and funny kids, full of heart, you’re gonna like this book.
Happy news! Barnes & Noble premium and reward members can now receive up to 25% off of pre-orders. But act soon. This deal ends end of day on Friday 4/25.
#delight is going to your fav bookstore and seeing your new paperback face out.
Less than a month to go before this puppy drops! I can hardly believe that it is almost May! So excited for you to meet Ben and Asha.
Do you know what is not a #delight? Grading 8 million papers. But strawberry shortcake? Now that is a delight!
Some places in Southern California have peacocks. My neighborhood does not, but guess what I saw walking? #Delight
#bookposse always sound like they’re having fun.

Actually, you would not be dead if you were in my novel right now. I am too much of a softy to kill people off in my books. How about you?
Can you read the writing in the concrete? It says I best I don’t love Jeannette. There’s a story there. What do you think it is?
