Here’s a fun spooky read! 20 short stories written by 20 authors all using a National Park, National Monument or a National Historic Park as the setting! Campfire reading anyone?! 🪵 @fleurbradley.bsky.social @allymalinenko.bsky.social @kimventrella.bsky.social @owlhollowpress.bsky.social #bookposse

Had the best time talking to fellow @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social members about creating a speaker profile today. Such a vibrant group! #scbwi #kidlit #mglit

May your Saturday be as good as a fosterfloof's who just discovered the gloriousness that is a basket. #fosterkittens #caturday #cats

Bookmail is the best mail. Excited to read this early copy of THE LIBRARIANS. Happy #fridayreads, all... #bookmail #mystery

Nap pile of fosterfloofs. #caturday

@cindyschwind1.bsky.social #bookposse This one is headed your way. Keep the lights on as you travel among the National Parks in some really spooky stories. Ss are going to love this one! @allymalinenko.bsky.social @fleurbradley.bsky.social @owlhollowpress.bsky.social

Looking for summer books for your (reluctant) kid reader...? I got you 😎 #kidlit #mglit #mystery #summerreading #scarybooks

If you want to write a book, make a film, paint, make music, or make any kind of art, just do it. Don’t worry about the what ifs or the doubts or the obstacles or the fears. Just write the book. Write the song. Make the movie. Make art. Have fun.

Happy Caturday from the fosterfloofs. #cats #kittens #caturday

Looking forward to reading this book I requested at my library... Even better to know other people can discover it as well. #fridayreads #librarylove #colorado

I started this one today by reading a story to each of my 5 hours. It was so fun and they were absolutely silent. No kiddos tomorrow or I’d do it again. Guess I’ll have to finish on my own! #bookposse @owlhollowpress @fleurbradley.bsky.social

Always love it when the library buys a book I request :-) Can't wait to read this next Ben Guterson book... #fridayreads #mglit #kidlit #librarylove

Looking forward to leading a session at NCTE in November. My fellow panelists are amazing... Hope to see you there! #teachers #literacy #kidlit #mglit #ncte2025

Happy Caturday from fosterfloofs Mulder and Scully, brought to you by IKEA. #caturday #fosterkittens

It is scientifically proven that one minute of looking at the news requires ten minutes of playing with kittens. #fosterkittens #sundayvibes #notactuallyscience
