I know the tried and true ways of just being imposing in spaces in hopes you click with one or two people but I really have no idea how to make connections anymore.

If you hate bullies, and like supporting poc authors and YA fantasy debuts. Here are some authors who have been targeted for review bombs by another author purely because they seem to be coming out at a similar time. (Xiran Jay Zhou is out here fighting the good fight.)

I love libraries so much, I wrote a picture book celebrating them! A LOVE LETTER TO MY LIBRARY, written by me & illustrated by Rob Sayegh Jr., was inspired by my trips to the Midlothian Public Library as a kid & La Grange Public Library as a mom. mrschureads.blogspot.com/2023/12/a-lo...

hi! our projector went out in one of our rooms at the library. I’m attempting to convince the right people to make the investment for a portable projector because we do a lot of movie nights. do your libraries use them? if so, which one do you use? I want one that is reasonable but decent.

I would be amiss did I not remind you, dear followers, that I am also an #ireadcanadian author. My book is a Middle-Grade mermaid story set in Cape Breton. There’s intrigue, a museum heist, and family ties. #kidlit #middlegrade 🇨🇦 Go ahead & buy a copy if you are so inclined.

I won’t talk about this much till after thanksgiving, but I know some people start with holiday music early… Last year, quite unexpectedly, I wrote & recorded an ambient holiday album. It’s all instrumental, all public domain stuff, so a lot of what are called hymns, but instrumental. It’s up here:

Excited that we can upload our own GIFs via deck.blue! The animation is only viewable within deck.blue, so I'm only going to use gifs that make sense without animation, like this one. Eventually, I hope to make these static-friendly gifs available to others using Bluesky cont'd

This #middlegrade origin tale of the Inuit Messenger Feast is an excellent story of a boy who must learn songs, dances, and how to make drums from the terrifying Eagles. Kids will enjoy the tension and scary story as they learn of Indigenous ways. 📚👍🏼

I was able to visit the Wolfville library while here in NS and I love getting to meet other librarians and see their space. they did an incredible job with the children’s area. despite the small area it feels welcoming. also their passive programming? 🤌
