Today was the official first day of Spring Break and as promised, I was busy doing bookish things.
My first bookish happening was eating toast and drinking a cup or two of tea while reading and finishing A Second Look by Hannah Matus which is a Muslim a Pride and Prejudice retelling.
The second bookish activity was an actual phone call (don't have those so very often anymore) with a library co-worker from my previous job back in Wisconsin who works in another library there now. Of course books and library things were part of the conversation.
The third bookish event was a book exchange organized by our local indie bookstore. They offered ARCs and then we could bring up to three books to trade and then we get to go home with ARCs or gently used books. I got a used hardcover book and the ARCs of Legendary Frybread Drive-In and Get Real, Chloe Torres. Yay!
The fourth bookish thing I participated in was an author event for Women's History Month with Nikki Shannon Smith. One of our students interviewed her earlier this month. You can see that video here.
Would you believe there was a fifth bookish interaction? It's true. I met virtually with a group of folks to chat about Kidlit.
Now I am finishing up my post and will begin reading. Shocker right? Are books a big part of your life? I can't imagine my life without stories and books.
