Women’s History Month is here & the #littlefreelibrary is decorated & stocked up to celebrate! New books + new feminist stickers too. #booksky #littlefreelibraries

March TBR coming in hot! Though let’s be honest. I’m #currentlyeading I’LL HAVE WHAT HE’S HAVING by Adib Khorram, but the rest of this stack is just a big fat maybe because who knows where my mood reading will take me. 😂 #booksky #toberead #tbr

6 books finished in February! My top 3: SLOW DANCE by Rainbow Rowell DEEP END by Ali Hazelwood INTO THE WOODS by Jenny Holiday #booksky #whatiread

Begging book series to include a "previously on" recap at the beginning of the book. I've already forgotten everything that happened in previous books. I don't know who any of these people are or why they're all yelling at each other.

✨Award-Winning Book ✨ "She Spoke Too" was selected for the Notable Social Studies Trade Books 2025 list! Congratulations to authors Kathy MacMillan and Manuela Bernardi and illustrator Becky Thorns for the well-deserved recognition 🎉 #BookAward #InfluentialWomen #KidLit #InteractiveBook

Me: How’d you get so cute? My son: Because I just love myself #momsky

Romance is one of the most targeted genres for book bans. For this week's Shelf Love interview—in collaboration with @authorsabb.bsky.social—we talk to romance royalty Meg Cabot of the Princess Diaries fame about the ways romance fiction can kindle a love of books: pen.org/meg-cabot-sh...

Thanks to @familiusbooks.bsky.social for this copy of GOODNIGHT WORLD, I LOVE YOU SO 🌙 a sweet, calm book to say goodbye to the day & settle in for the night’s sleep. This book is charming, restful & a nice alternative when you need a break from GOODNIGHT MOON. #booksky #kidlit #kidsbooks

Small book drop at the #littlefreelibrary this afternoon. Here’s what we had shelved as of a couple hours ago:

Did you know that February is Body Acceptance Month? One of the ways I try to encourage my kids to be in healthy relationship with their bodies is through books. All of these books are loved and read often in our home - we hope you love them too!

I am a mom because of IVF & I firmly believe fertility treatments should be way more accessible & affordable. BUT I ALSO believe that reproductive freedom means being able to access safe & affordable abortions too. Abortion IS healthcare & no one should EVER be forced to give birth.

Please talk with your loved ones about Ruby Bridges. Read “I Am Ruby Bridges” by Ruby Bridges 💛 The first Black child at an all-white public elementary school in Louisiana. She was only six-years-old when she made history marching into that school. Ruby Bridges is living history. She's only 70!

#SundayShelfie because everything is awful #booksky #bookshelfie

I had every intention of wearing one of my many cute dresses today for Valentine’s Day. (I often lament a lack of excuses to wear them, so, ya know.) But it snowed and so we played outside and stayed home and the coziest sweatpants were just calling my name.

Snow day! ❄️ #littlefreelibrary #booksky

Black History Month books dropped in the #LittleFreeLibrary recently! As of this morning, about half of these have already been snatched up. Love to see an engaged community! #booksky #blackhistorymonth

Happy release day to I LOVE ME FROM A TO Z 💖 This marvelous board book celebrates our bodies, our hearts & our minds and is packed with wonderful reminders for readers young and old. Many thanks to @familiusbooks for the free review copy. #booksky #bookreview #kidsbooks

As a follow up to yesterday’s 28 Days of Black history, I wanted to share 28 Days of Black stories that were crafted by Black creators to highlight stories of Black JOY, experiences, community, culture and family. In the face of oppression, all of these things are powerful acts of resistance.

You are so loved. ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷🩵🤍🤎🖤 💙📚🌈 #littlefreelibrary #blueskybooks #booksky #lgbtqia #readqueerallyear #porchgoose

Hope is never futile - it is one of the greatest forms of resistance we have.

Six more weeks of winter? Blergh. #booksky #kidsreading #kidsbooks

Went out to clean up the #littlefreelibrary today (had a swarm of ants to deal with 😒) and found this excellent clinch cover. #booksky #bookcover

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔 He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. “The Library IS for Everyone” 💚 #BlackHistoryMonth
