Here’s a short and sweet review for a book that pa Here’s a short and sweet review for a book that packed a powerful midlife punch:

PIECES OF HAPPINESS by Anne Ostby

Four lifelong-friends, a new chocolate company, a shared home in Fiji and the challenges of life. 

Real, raw and redemptive.
Today’s episode of Restorative Reading & Writing f Today’s episode of Restorative Reading & Writing for Wellness is about reclaiming our summer reading and writing season and embracing tiny, restorative reading and writing rituals over setting metrics-based goals and outcomes. 

Come listen as I talk about why this shift matters and offer a simple equation for creating your own!

This was the most perfect book to kick off my summ This was the most perfect book to kick off my summer season of reading!

SECOND COURSES by Robin Blackburn was a delightfully immersive book with a strong sense of place that takes place in upstate New York during a season of starting over. 

Starting over from an unexpected divorce, starting over as a stalled (and secret!) writer, starting over as a brand-new restaurant owner and starting over by rebuilding thoughts and ideas about what could be one day at a time. 

I was completely smitten with Lyndsay and how she showed up on every page with a full range of emotions and a hopeful spirit. From love to career and everything in between, she shows the reader it’s possible to start over more than once and in more than one area of our life, too. 

Plus, I think I’ll FINALLY get on the sourdough bandwagon if I can figure out how to get a gluten-free starter and up my meal planning game because of the delectable descriptions of the amazing meals shared inside. 

Add this one to your summer stack!

On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m ta On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Andrew Hacket about his newest picture book: IN THIS CLASSROOM. 

It's a heartwarming celebration of the school year capturing the joy, struggles and growth of students and teachers as they embark on an unforgettable journey of learning, friendship and personal achievement. It's the perfect read aloud for any classroom community! 

Come listen as we talk about Andrew’s manifesto as an educator that has found its way into the book, the front and back matter that feels like a true invitation into the book and the broader community of those who read it and the beautiful structure alongside the bright, delightful pictures on the page. Plus, the book comes with free resources for educators you won’t want to miss Andrew talking about.

Books make Mondays better! In my book LEADING LIT Books make Mondays better!

In my book LEADING LITERATE LIVES, I offer the staircase as a simple analogy for choosing your next book to read. Simply think about something you like or were intrigued by in the book you just finished and take a step in that direction to choose your next book and broaden your reading life. 

This book does that for me today. 

I just finished reading A SPRINKLE OF SWEET SERENDIPITY by Rachel Linden filled with chocolate and life dreams and THE QUITTERS CLUB by Jessica Strawser filled with friendships and letting go. 

This book seems to be the next logical step for me:

PIECES OF HAPPINESS by Anne Ostby

It's about four life-long friends who leave their currently realities behind to live together in Fiji and make bittersweet chocolate. 

Yes, please. =)

What books are making your Monday better?
