Library stack and a very fluffy kitty. 📚😽It's been a while since Miss Emme made an appearance here and she declares she's long overdue.😆 Also, I hadn't meant to take a week-long IG break, but my phone was broken and I had no choice (listening to audiobooks in the shower is perilous, indeed). Have your bookish habits ever gotten you in a pickle before? #bookwormproblems #libraryhaul #bookish #catsandbooks #homeschool #mainecoonsofinstagram #kittykitty #middlegradebooks #kidlit #librarylove
Happy Monday, friends! This past week was filled with lots of bookish things. Preorders for The Mutant Mushroom Takeover went live, I signed my contract with Simon & Schuster (publishing contracts can take longer than people might expect) and I got my first pass pages, which are the book's copyedited pages laid out for the first time in the format they'll be printed. I also ordered some super-cute mushroom-themed goodies for upcoming giveaways. 🍄😁 So, all in all it was pretty good week. Now to tackle reading through all the pass pages while making more revision headway on my draft of Book Two. What's on your to-do list for the week? #authorsofinstagram #writerslife #authorlife #writerscommunity #mglit #mgbooks #middlegradebooks #kidlit #middlegrade #bookstagram
One thing (among many) I love about middle grade books is how colorful their covers are. One day, perhaps, I'll organize my shelves by color, but I feel like that could get confusing to find what I'm looking for. I tend to sort by type of book (MG, adult, YA, etc.) and height, though this photo illustrates that I'm not too much of a stickler on the height thing. How do you organize your books? #shelfie #bookshelf #bookish #booklover #readersofinstagram #read #bookspines #kidlit #middlegradebooks #readaloudrevival #charlottemason #mglit
I recently did an interview for the podcast Shaped by Stories, which explores the relationship between us and the books we loved as children. Diane from @shapedbystoriesdiane and I talk about the 1986 Newbery Honor book, Hatchet, and the ways that survival stories can inspire us in tough times. We also talk about my book, The Mutant Mushroom Takeover. 🍄🍄🍄 Check it out at: Shapedbystories.com #MG #bookstagram #booknerd #bookish #kidlit #middlegradebooks #authorsofinstagram #writerslife #writerscommunity #newberymedal #readinginthemiddlegrades
Today is World Read Aloud Day! Our family loves reading together. Our most recent read aloud was The Cabin Faced West by Jean Fritz. It was a short, inspiring book that told the story of one settler family in the late 1700s. It's inspired by true events but is still fictional. The author was related to the main character and used letters and journals to tell pieces of the story. What readalouds has your family liked best? #wrad2020 #readaloudfamily #homeschool #charlottemason #homeschoollife #charlottemasonirl #motherculture #bookish #booklover #readersofinstagram #middlegradebooks #raisereaders #readaloudrevival
I've got news!! My debut novel, The Mutant Mushroom Takeover, now has an official release date, September 22, 2020, and is available for pre-order! (Link in bio). 😁 "Stranger Things meets The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl in this lightly spooky debut about Maggie, an aspiring young naturalist, and her YouTuber best friend, Nate, who use their smarts and science to solve the mystery behind a mutant fungus that’s threatening the town." #authorsofinstagram #mglit #mgbooks #middlegradebooks #readaloudrevival #books #igbooks #kidlit #homeschool #authorlife #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #bookstagram
