These last few weeks have far and away been the hardest of my school librarian career but one thing has remained steady and that’s the challenge I gave myself once COVID closed the doors to our school building and that was to read at least a book a day. Yes, I’m back in school, but we’re teaching our kids virtually which is a blog post for another day. And I’ve still been able to maintain a book a day so far. Here were some of the books I’ve read recently:

• Witch Hat Atelier, Vol. 6
  • Pre-order and purchased in print because I will own every book in this series
• The Bird Way audiobook
  • I’m a nut for nonfiction animal books
• Hello, Neighbor!
  • I’ve been diving into the world of Fred Rogers and this picture book by Matthew Cordell was delightful
• Every Body Looking
  • Verse novels are more commonplace formats but Iloh chose this format wisely for this heavily biographical story
• Flyy Girls, books one and two
  • A series by Woodfolk that are neatly-packed and easily accessible titles with realistic characters who work through their problems with the help of friends
• Poisoned Water: How the Citizens of Flint, Michigan Fought for their Lives and Warned a Nation
  • It’s as riveting as it is upsetting to read
