I reread LOUDER THAN HUNGER by @mrschureads.bsky.social for the final book of the year with our 6th grade book club. Yes, I just read it 6 months ago but that was like 72 books ago and also it's worth it because it's so good and so moving.

I just wrote [Insert a BUNCH of Words Here] in the manuscript I'm working on. I know how the chapter begins. I know how the chapter ends. I have no idea what happens in between . . . yet!

“When I think about the books I’ve most loved writing, it always it comes back to stories for middle grade readers. I so love that audience. I love their unquenchable curiosity. Their fierce idealism. And their boundless imaginations.” @kaaauthor.bsky.social mrschureads.blogspot.com/2025/06/a-gu...

Finished @mrschureads.bsky.social’s Louder Than Hunger recently & my middle school self has potentially never felt more seen than when Kelleah hands him that mixtape & recites the track list 🥹😭 The specificity of that list to that time period & those feelings? 🧑‍🍳💋 #ReaderSky #BookSky

This Is a Story helped me write This Is a School, Ruthie Rose's Big Idea, Lily-May's Joyful Day, This Is a Theater, & an unannounced picture book. Louder Than Hunger is helping me write the novel I'm currently writing. I'm having so much fun writing this story! I hope it is a real book one day!
