Cute, fun, short chapter book for tweens/KPop Demon Hunters fans. Not just a movie spinoff or fluff, there’s a good message about believing in yourself and your team. I always want actual music/songs when I read books about KPop! 🤷🏻‍♀️ @simonschuster @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Crazy, are they gaslighting Ruby? Love the little twists, I nominate this book for sleeper hit status! Gotta love the Chessies’ epic setup: chess pieces are Twinkies and DingDongs! #RachelYong excellent on audio. Fantastic ending! 5⭐️ @WendelinVanD @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Fast and fun! Once you get into the California post-war world, it’s a really cute novella. The robot characters are well developed. Setting is intriguing as well. #EmGrosland does super job with all the voices. 5 second rule even in 2064😉😆@Annaleen #bookaday

In the very first sentence popular cheerleader Iris that cautions it could happen to you: life destroyed by internet. Why is it all coming back now? If the killing was in the spring and now it’s October? Did I miss this? #EvaKaminsky on @MacmillanAudio @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

@goodreads Yes! Almost always have one of each going. But they have to be for different age readers and different genres. Reading a mystery for different ages in all formats at the same time = 🤯

Fun little mystery - like a minor league Stephanie Plum. Everything was going great, until my grandmother got busted for tax evasion and money laundering.
Peach pie and beer? Why the hell not?

May & Gemma sell flowers in LA during depression, keeping family business afloat while father recuperates, when they discover the body of friend Lulu Wong, Chinatown’s own, a rising Hollywood star. Mystery, history, racism, romance! @staceyleeauthor @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Margo is a mess! She’s got her cute baby, retired wrestler father, flaky mom, quirky friends, & an OnlyFans account. Of course she’s got $ problems! Slow beginning makes you almost want to abandon the book - but don’t! Big payoff at the end. Sequel?? @RufiThorpe #bookaday

Ways we are citizens/things we bring: food, language, customs, skills, optimism, joy. Must choose to engage in democracy, protect everyone’s rights & freedoms. Some of us are born to it, some of us choose, we are all American. @HachetteUS @DISD_Libraries #NFfriday #bookaday

WWII Nazi occupied France: Lucas was envious of people with courage - could he ever be that brave? “Hope was a job, somebody had to do it and today that somebody was him.” So much heart, action, and adventure. Great ending! @sarapennypacker @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Based on famous book, this time the alphabet letters are seeing something up in a tree - Easter eggs. What could possibly go wrong with 26 letters and a bunch of eggs in a tree? Fun concept, bright colors, 🩷chicka chicka fans 🩷 #JulienChung @SimonKIDS @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Wow! 5⭐️ because it kept me listening, especially when they got to the island.😨Julie had right when she finally snapped out of it - They’re all batshit insane! And then the ending! Social media is the biggest thief of time but an addictive form of escape. @AtriaBooks #bookaday

Love this series - oldie but a goodie! A girl is too busy for her friends, 🦩& 🥔 . Almost a cautionary tale until she realizes she needs balance & time for herself. Ending is classic! ❤️ expressions on 🥔 face! #MichaelIanBlack @inkyelbows @DISD_Libraries #bookaday
