Okay #kidlit what’s new in #MGhistoricalfiction? Bonus points if you’re a @canscaip.bsky.social creator. #elbowsup!
I need a historical novel set outside of NA/UK. Would like something published recently (24/25). If you have something soon to be released, tell me about that, too!

Okay #libraryland…looking for books about the importance of libraries. Ideally school libraries. But public libraries, too.

Where can I find wide leg dressy-ish black pants? I’ve looked and can’t seem to find any that will hang nicely, be comfortable & fit my curves (they are either cut to fit a size 2 or a size 22… but nothing between)… 🤷🏼♀️

This whole thing is a debacle that *should* be spelling the end for the Ford government.
How they continue to get away with this is beyond me…

These books are *so* good!
