Books make Mondays better! This week, I’m reading Books make Mondays better!

This week, I’m reading: AUTHENTICALLY, IZZY by Pepper Basham.

It’s the perfect way to kick of my #ReadYourShelves annual Get Lit(erate). tradition for the month of March. Not only was it already on my shelf, but it embraces my BIBLIOPHILIA theme for the month focused on all things books and reading. 

What better way to get through the long month of March?!

Here’s the publisher’s summary:

Izzy Edgewood is a wannabe bookstore owner, quote queen, and Lord of the Rings nerd who has been waiting for Prince Charming to sweep her off her sneakered feet. But it’s hard to meet people when you spend more time with fictional humans than real ones. Which is why her pragmatist cousin Josephine decides to take Izzy’s future into her own meddling hands and create an online dating profile for the hopeful romantic.

To Izzy’s shock (and suspicion), Josie’s plan works. Soon, she’s dialoguing with a Hobbit-loving man named Brodie who lives in a small town an ocean away from her home in the Blue Ridge Mountains. But is their shared love of books, family, and correspondence enough to overcome Izzy’s fear of flying and the literal distance between them? And is a long-distance relationship even worth considering when a local author has been frequenting the library where she works and is proving to be a perfectly fine gentleman?

Yes, it’s an epistolary novel and you’ll want to read the letter to readers on the back.

What books are making your Monday better?

On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m ta On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Huda Al-Marashi about her newest release: HAIL MARIAM.

This middle grade novel is a heartfelt and humorous interfaith and coming of age story that follows Mariam as he navigates the challenges of being the only Muslim student at her Catholic school. It balances faith, family and friendship and is everything you hope for in a middle grade novel. 

Come listen as we talk about Huda’s personal experiences that connect to the themes of the book, the balancing act the main character faced and the ways she learned and grew throughout the arc of the story and the promise of curiosity and conversation this book will offer readers and those around them. It’s the perfect book for a caregiver-child book club!
