How did I not know about @ellenoh.bsky.social’s scary books?!?! Thank you #UnboundBookFestival for the opportunity to learn!
@ellenoh.bsky.social brings so much light into the world! Thank you #UnboundBookFestival for bringing her to COMO!
I have officially reached the Easter candy eating stage of writing my dissertation. 🐣 🐰 Brain food for sure. #PhDpursuit #pagesoverquality
COMO peeps, if you’re looking for a reason to eat out tonight, help our JMS PTSA with our Noodles and Co fundraiser!
Teacher peeps in COMO or those who can drive in…join us! This year’s books are so good!!! And, we’ll have snacks!!!
I was going to wait until finishing to post but I’m full on bawling in Chapter 8. 😭😭😭
Thank you @sguillory262.bsky.social! My mom is a member of the United Houma Nation and grew up in the coastal community of Lafitte. She’s going to LOVE IT.
@sguillory262.bsky.social’s Nowhere Better Than Here was a tough read for someone who lived on the Louisiana coast but it has stuck with me for so long that I had to send my Cajun mom a copy. My note told her to grab the tissues.
Marathon listening to YA & middle grade for an upcoming PD & am loving my most recent reads. Lei and the Fire Goddess had me laughing out loud, googling Hawaiian folktales, and holding my breath during Lei’s big race with the fire goddess Pele! @maliamaunakea.bsky.social @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social

I know I've seen graphics on the awesomeness of reading #graphicnovels, but now I can't seem to find them. Help anyone? Working to convince a couple of educators of their merit! #Skybrarian #TLSky @sharisawyers.bsky.social @mrsmacdonald.bsky.social @mrschureads.bsky.social
Just finished the AsAm YA romance Clementine and Danny Save the World (and each other) from Livia Blackburne and LOVED IT! Perfect snow day read. @harpercollins.bsky.social
Just mailed off copies of Randy Ribay’s Everything We Never Had to my dad & brother. Love it so much! It will have you thinking abt family & history & all the things that make/break us. If you have a FilAm male in your life or someone with difficult family bonds, gift it to them. And yourself.
Today is the last day of #CoMoGives 2024. Please consider supporting the work Nora Stewart Early Learning Center does with our COMO littles.
Last 2 days of #COMOgives24. If you’re looking for a local organization to help, Nora Stewart Early Learning Center is fabulous! If you have any questions about their work, let me know. I’ve had the honor to be on their board for the past several years.
Then I’d better save it until after break! Doing a big writing push!
Have not! Will put on my list to check out over break.

Hello Bluesky! (Happy to be here!) I write #MG books and my latest, ISABEL IN BLOOM, is a novel-in-verse praised by the NYT as a "sweet and heartfelt novel [that] explores how bumpy beginnings can offer chances for new growth." My author brand is a blend of tender, joyful, and Filipino-Dad jokes 🥰🇵🇭
I buy lots of HP stuff, especially when I catch a sale, but I treat myself to personalized Plum Paper for my school planner and meeting notebook. I’m trying out the new HP customizable spiral because it’s so intriguing but wondering if they’ll come out with a punch for it.

Right now is a good time to call your reps and tell them you are against ANY form of book banning (including the "Parents Bill of Rights" bill). The GOP House majority is going to be super slim in January, and they couldn't get the entire caucus behind the bill last time. We can beat this bill!
