The Best Reading Room Ever
I have worked in a public library and love to check out libraries wherever I go. This is the one on the top of my list!! The CVW Long Lake Public Library has the most amazing children's room, complete with an Adirondack lean-to and and outhouse reading nook. So much fun!!! So much book love here!!

Friday Favorites
Some of my most recent favorites for:
Voice:
House Held up by a Trees by Ted Kooser, Illustrated by Jon Klassen
This book is simply beautiful, poetic, lyrical, haunting....
The Bell Rang by James Ransome is poignant.

Hum and Swish by Matt Myers is proof that quiet, introverted books can have a loud impact.
Metafiction:
Wall in the Middle of the Book by Jon Agee is clever and just plain fun.
Do You Believe in Unicorns? B.D. Murguia is a cheerful read full of wonder.
And I Loved
Open in Case of Emergency by Richard Fairgay was funny and mysterious, loads to love here.
