In the bookshop this morning:

PARENTS: “Okay, we’re leaving now.”

CHILD: *pulls another book from the shelf and sits down *

CHILD: “Then I guess this is goodbye.”

@naominovik.bsky.social What the world needs now is the Temeraire series as movies or a TV series. When the U.S. president decides the history of slavery is "too woke" to be shared in our museums, we need Art more than ever to fill the gaps. Your work is exactly what we need. #HistoryThroughArt

In all my years of being married to my husband, he has never put the extra pillows on the bed in the morning after getting up. However, his favorite cat has decided this week that she likes this particular arrangement of pillows. Now they are on the bed in just this configuration every morning.

Excerpt from Frog & Toad, a winter scene with snow on Toad's head and the quote "I can go home," said Toad. "Winter may be beautiful, but bed is much better."

If #TikTok woes continue & readers lament #BookTok and wonder how they are going to get book recommendations, can I make a suggestion? Hit up your #LocalLibrary & independent book sellers. There is a network in the real world that supports #books. #BookSky💙📚 is great, too here on BlueSky

Today we honor what would’ve been Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 96th birthday. 🖤 Dr. King was revolutionary who fought for justice, equality, and love when the world needed it most. His fight isn’t over—it's on us to keep pushing, keep resisting, and keep his dream alive.

In a world where revelations about Neil Gaiman could have devastated me without repair, I'm grateful that the writings, wisdom, & Art of #ToniMorrison live on to bolster my spirit.

My first read of 2025 was Nico Lang's American Teenager. Lang's 9 months spent visiting with 8 Trans teens & their families led to a balanced work everyone should consider. Here's the link to my brief review on @thestorygraph.com

Day 18
Author Fredrick Backman's name is across the top in red ink, followed by the words the international bestselling author of A Man Called Ove. The title My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry is written across a cloud-filled, grayish sky as a young blond girl's back is facing the reader, with her hands clasped behind her holding a letter. A large, black dog with a red scarf tied around her next is seated next to her, facing the same direction. They are poised on an open road with flat grass framing either side of it, as both of them gaze down it.

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!
