New Crayons!

Do you remember the thrill of brand new crayons? This set recently came into my home and I’m enjoying the newness as if they were mine!

New 2020 Planner!

I bought my 2020 Planner for planning blog content! Do you have your 2020 Planner? Does a new planner bring you joy? This is a small planner because it’s exclusively for blog planning and I love that I can tuck it in my purse for planning on the go!

National Kindness Day!

This week included National Kindness Day, and I have a heartbreaking and inspiring story for you! Early this week, a member of the bookstagram community posted that she had received a few unkind comments on her post that featured a selfie in which she promoted her current YA read. Several unkind commenters expressed their rude opinions that she appeared too old to be posting selfies or to be reading YA. She was shocked by the age discrimination and deleted these hateful and hurtful comments. Now, the positive part of the story! The bookstagram community rallied to support her by posting selfies to show that social media is comprised of all ages (great literature is ageless!). The public support and solidarity were inspirational and heartwarming! It demonstrated that we all need to speak up and stand up to bullying and unkind behavior! I’m proud to be a participant in the inclusive and supportive bookstagram community! @readingladies_book_club
