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 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.

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!
