The kind of people I hang out with? When told that @garethhinds.bsky.social @candlewickpress.bsky.social was coming out with THE AENEID, friend replied "Let me know when he does one of Silius Italicus' PUNICA. (Also, Loebs. IYKYK.)

This was excellent!

TUCK EVERLASTING: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL☀️🌲by Natalie Babbitt, illustrated by K. Woodman-Maynard takes place the first week of August! Start the month off right by reading this vibrant edition of a spellbinding children’s classic about friendship and growing up. tinyurl.com/4kvepjhr #Kidlit #booksky

You know, I have two interviews on my blog set for the first week of the new year (that's the week of Labor Day!) and could do three more if any #MGLit authors want to answer a few questions by e mail. Sports and humorous books would be my first pick. DM me if interested.

AHA! Finally, Aeneas gets some love with @garethhinds.bsky.social @candlewickpress.bsky.social THE AENEID! (March 16, 2027) Latin students everywhere rejoice.

10 year old me would never thought he would one day draw a comic about lost planes and ships and about the Bermuda Triangle. But here it is! 🥰

Get REALLY historical with this 2007 list of Ancient Greek and Rome #MGLit. Wonder how many of these I still have on the shelves? msyinglingreads.blogspot.com/2007/05/gree...

Don't let Odysseus have all the glory. Hunt down a copy of Emily Frenkel's 1991 @brisunipress.bsky.social Aeneas: Virgil's Epic Retold for Younger Readers and introduce them to a Roman epic.

#MGLit readers wanting something like THE ODYSSEY? Find @paulshipton @candlewickpress.bsky.social 2005 THE PIG SCROLLS. One of Odysseus' men is turned into a pig by Circe... and decides to stay that way!

Checking my Follett orders online is sort of like watching the radar of Santa's path. Will the books get here in two weeks? SO MUCH EXCITEMENT! (100 books= 70% of budget, so I pick very carefully!)

Have you seen Atheneum's @kaydavault.bsky.social MISFIT MANSION? Book two came out yesterday! msyinglingreads.blogspot.com/2026/08/mayh...

What a lovely display of The Wild Ones in Oxford Waterstones. The cover artwork by @johannatarkela.com is so beautiful. I feel very lucky.

I had forgotten the Latin phrase "Sit tibi terra levis". I hope that the earth rests lightly upon Dr. Gisela Walberg. It was a huge oversight that none of us brought random broken pottery to throw in her grave to confuse future archaeologists. classics.uc.edu/humanities/c...

After reading @sandraboynton.bsky.social MOO, BAA, LA LA LA thirty times, my daughter asked my grandson to bring her a different book. He brought her... their second copy of MOO, BAA, LA LA LA, closely followed by BOO! BAA, LA LA LA. 🎃 A superfan in the works!

I had some FEELINGS about @tckemperwrites.bsky.social @henryholtbooks.bsky.social THE GINGHAMS, and my students know how polyester is made because of it. Definitely innovative and unique #MGLIT. msyinglingreads.blogspot.com/2026/08/the-...

Pfft. Everyone knows that the only decent translation of Homer's THE ODYSSEY is Richmond Lattimore's 1967 one. And you only read it AFTER his version of the ILIAD. Because he at least attempted dactylic hexameter.

Let's try this again. Here are my reading stats for JULY. I have not read 91 books so far in August! 🙄

Get ready for Hermon's @henryholtbooks.bsky.social #MGLit LEVEL UP! (8/4/26) msyinglingreads.blogspot.com/2026/08/mmgm...

I have to remember that even though I left my middle school library in perfect order, I will have to put everything back because the custodians moved everything to clean! Other than that, I have lessons all prepared, books on order, and am ready to roll the first day!

School librarians, what are your must do things to get ready for the new school year? What things do you always make sure you do as soon as you get back to your library? #librarian #newschoolyear #podcast

Yeah. It's probably time for another tween vampire book. This @scholastic.bsky.social K.R. Alexander cover cracks me up. (1/5/27)

Haven't been good about statistics lately, but read 91 books in July. Favorite was Krovatin's @scholastic.bsky.social YULE BE SORRY. Kids will adore it!
