Soar Between Stars

Soar between stars
Seek, search, explore
Meet new civilizations
Or create your own.
Find common ground.
Redefine “human”.
Travel through time -
Reach back,
Stretch forward,
Peek at eternity
Gaze with awe
At galaxies, nebulae
Or a single cell.
Bring your sense
of Wonder.

Keep asking
“What If?”


If you are a frequent visitor to my blog, know me in person, or hang with me at all on Twitter, it won’t surprise you to hear that I love science fiction. I’m participating in a month long blog fiesta in November to celebrate one of my favorite genres. I’ll have posts about science fiction books, television, movies, and more. 


I’ll even be hosting a really fun Doctor Who week along with my pals from Teen Librarian Toolbox from November 17th-23rd, leading up to the 50th anniversary celebration. Be sure to come by often!





I participate in the Slice of Life Challenge, hosted by the amazing educators at Two Writing Teachers. We write and share on Tuesdays. Stop by to see what others are posting!

Also - if you stop by and comment, and you are also slicing - PLEASE feel free to include your URL in the comments. With over 200 people slicing, it is often hard to go find your specific link on the Two Writing Teachers page, and I'd love to come read YOUR slice too!

I'm so excited to be part of the blog tour for Just Harriet - by Elana K. Arnold!

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. She is very happy to be spending summer vacation away from home and her mom and dad and all the wonderful things she had been planning all year. Okay, maybe that last one isn’t entirely 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.

Welcome, my friends, to my first ever GUEST POST! My fabulous school librarian (aka @ReaderRoberts ) decided to hold a parent's book club this year, to give parents ideas for getting kids reading. This past week she held the inaugural session, with a  "summer reading"  focus. 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.
