Just dropped off my little guy for his first day of traditional school at @oakgroveel. Some @OakGroveTigers seniors were there to welcome him! Love that he got to meet one of the best! #tOGether #OG4LiFe

Gnight.
It’s better with you in it.
The night, the world.
It’s better cuz you’re here.
Sleep on it if it feels like too much.
Let it marinate, until it’s stronger than anything that tells you otherwise:
Life’s better with you in it.

[Lin-Manuel Miranda @Lin_Manuel]

Gmorning.
It’s better with you in it.
The whole thing.
It’s better cuz you’re here.
Let it dissolve slow if it’s too much to swallow.
Or wash it down w some coffee, but take it in:
Life’s better with you in it.

Just finished listening to the 20th anniversary edition of Speak by @halseanderson. This book! Every teen--No, every person--needs this story. And THEN we all need to hear @JasonReynolds83 read his afterword. Tears and conviction will follow.

This book! Oh, my heart. @JulieBerryBooks is a master storyteller. I can't say enough about "The Lovely War." It's amazing. You Should Read It! And Use it in your classroom! Don't trust me? Read review here: https://t.co/IPj0dRjP45 @OakGroveTigers #OG4LiFe @JEFCOED

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a Librarian in possession of a good book, must be in want of a cup of tea. 😉 Thanks to my sweet friends at @OakGroveTigers and the library, I have both! #OG4LiFe #loveyourlibrary #JaneAusten #Prideandprejudice

Here's one for my high school readers. Love a good suspense, murder mystery? Check out "One of Us is Lying" by Karen M. McManus. It's the Breakfast Club meets Pretty Little Liars. Loved it! #OG4LiFe @OakGroveTigers https://t.co/NjH59OoJ7d

@JWinholtz this made me think of you and Cassie's chicken photography. Paint a chicken portrait with artist Lynn Marino https://t.co/xhANnrNp4y

Looking for a new series to read? The Gold Seer Trilogy by Rae Carson is Amazing! I read all three and couldn't put them down. Check them out in the OGHS library! @OakGroveTigers #OG4LiFe But if you won't take my word for it, watch this: https://t.co/u3vtpbayF8

@courtgardner1 Wait until there's more than one. You will shamelessly turn up the radio AND put in headphones to listen to a book... Or is that just me?

This sounds fascinating! Adding it to the list to order now. What do you think @courtgardner1?

In 1776, the governor of New York and the mayor of New York City conspired to assassinate George Washington. That bizarre plot is the subject of a fascinating new history book written by a thriller author and a documentary producer.
