#Oneword for 2025: cultivate. I hope to grow new relationships, skills, and adventures, while also tending to existing friendships and things I love to do.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Let's make this the new universal book challenge policy:

Parents have every right to restrict what their own children are allowed to read. They have zero right to make those decisions for anyone else's kids. Ever.

The partnership we have with our amazing @DPS109 schools is one of the best things about my job! These school librarians rock!! Special thanks to @Andrea_Trudeau for coordinating our visit.

[Kary (I STILL wear a mask) Henry @MissKaryReads]

@Andrea_Trudeau I would 100% buy one of these if I could a) find one and b) afford one! The few I've found have been exorbitant! I think Salvage One in Chicago has had them occasionally.

I just finished the e-arc of this book and can't wait to get it in the hands of readers. @JamesPonti, in the Olympic spirit, your books are gold!
