I'm a sucker for silly (I'm sure some of you remember #Chompsticks from this summer). So when my friend Karen at Teen Librarian Toolbox asked for people to join in the #MustacheYouToRead campaign, I jumped in wholeheartedly.

Check out Karen's post about the campaign, started by Kearsten, the teen services librarian at Glendale Public Library in Arizona.

My Aviary-Edited Photo

 Anyway, I had a tribe of friends and family at my house this weekend. Naturally, I got the kids to participate by holding up a picture of a favorite book for a photo shoot. One of my friends had even brought us candy mustaches, since she remembered my sons and I wearing fake mustaches to our local bookstore to celebrate the arrival of Tom Angleberger's Fake Mustache this spring. 









Without further ado - here are the results of our masterpiece photo shoot!

I'm so excited to be part of the blog tour for Just Harriet - by Elana K. Arnold! ABOUT THE BOOK (From the publisher) From the award-winning author of A Boy Called Bat comes a new young middle grade series in the tradition of Ramona and Clementine, starring an unforgettable girl named Harriet. There are a few things you should know about Harriet Wermer: She just finished third grade. She has a perfect cat named Matzo Ball. She doesn’t always tell the truth.

Of course, there’s nothing Harriet doesn’t like about Marble Island, the small island off the coast of California where her Nanu runs a cozy little bed and breakfast. And nobody doesn’t love Moneypenny, Nanu’s old basset hound. But Harriet doesn’t like the fact that Dad made this decision without even asking her. When Harriet arrives

Let us know what you think!  Parent Book Club - Summer Reading Sometimes your best ideas come to you in a flash.  That is how it was with the parents’ book club.  One afternoon I was sharing a title with a parent volunteer and she ended up checking the book out of the library. Nothing unusual. This happens frequently to all of us when we booktalk.  What was different was that when the parent returned the book she made the remark that I should share this book with everyone. You have probably guessed by now that the book was Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Through the year I have shared many other great titles –many of them discovered through my PLN on Twitter.
