98% of my posts are about #MGLit, but occasionally I go wild with pictures of my dog Leo, craft projects, or really questionable fashions.
I dutifully produced homemade dinner rolls for Thanksgiving even though in my heart of hearts, I crave brown 'n serve rolls. They always seemed fancy because they WEREN'T homemade! (Shout out to Youngstown's Schwebel's Bakery!)

I'd read this @christebbetts.bsky.social January 2026 @littlebrownyr.bsky.social title if I could get approved on @netgalley.bsky.social. I know my resume isn't great (I could read more books, you know), but I think I do a decent review.

It doesn't get any better than Jennifer Holm and @mattholm.bsky.social @scholastic.bsky.social #GraphicNovel SUNNY FIGURES IT OUT. I appreciate the 1970s nostalgia! msyinglingreads.blogspot.com/2025/11/sunn...
