My #library #bookhaul Loved reading these titles over the past days. From these, I’ve requested more titles by these authors & illustrators. Anthologies are great resources to learn about creators! #buildyourstack #kidlit #picturebooksofinstagram #bookstagram #teachergram #titletalk #shelfietalk

I was today years old when I learned from a school library media specialist that there’s such a thing as Vox Books! So cool!

Different settings = different reading platforms! Before sunrise on weekends, we like to sit outside by the fire to start our day. Can’t read a paper book outside before sunrise (well, not without a flashlight!) So this #ebook suits. Also: I can sip tea and turn pages simultaneously! ☕️ 📖

It started when I read a poem written by #RobertPinsky in @theatlantic and then went in search of a collection of his poems in the @bcclslibraries app, and then found this #memoir too and so here we are #FeetUpFriday #nonfiction #newjersey #lovewhereyoulive
