🪐 What’s your favorite thing about space?! As you can see, Xander’s room is covered in planets! It’s all planets all the time! —————— 🌿🌝🌻—————— Huge thanks to @algonquinyr for sending How to Become a Planet by @NicoleMelleby our way!! This paperback is a available now! ABOUT ⇨ The two most important things to know about Pluto Timoney:  (1) she’s always loved outer space (obviously); and (2) her favorite season is summer, the time to go to the boardwalk, visit the planetarium, and work in her mom’s pizzeria. This summer, when Pluto’s turning thirteen, is different. Pluto has just been diagnosed with depression, and she feels like a black hole is sitting on her chest, making it hard to do anything. When Pluto’s dad threatens to make her move to the city—where he believes his money could help her get better—Pluto comes up with a plan to do whatever it takes to be her old self again. If she does everything that old, “normal” Pluto would do, she can stay with her mom. But it takes a new therapist, new tutor, and new (cute) friend with a plan of her own for Pluto to see that there is no old or new her. There’s just Pluto, discovering more about herself every day. —————— 🌿🌝🌻—————— 🏷: #Bookstagram #PTMBooks #IDGAFBookstagram #MiddleGradeBooks #Planets #PlanetBooks #AlongquinYR (at Saint Joseph, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc80d24LMGU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I did a HIIT workout for the first time yesterday and oh my gosh, my butt hurts 🤣 too many squats. Anyways - I have a ton on my to-do list today! What’s on yours?! —————— 🪴☀️🍃—————— Big thanks to @HarperKids for gifting Chase and I this free copy of A Song Called Home by Sara Zarr (@sarazarrbooks) This middle grade book about what makes a family is available now! There are some trigger warnings for middle grade readers so please do your research! 📚 ABOUT → Lou and her family don’t have much, but for Lou it's enough. Mom. Her sister, Casey. Their apartment in the city. Her best friend, Beth. It would be better if Dad could stop drinking and be there for her and Casey, and if they didn't have to worry about money all the time. But Lou doesn’t need better—she only needs enough. What’s enough for Lou, however, is not enough for Mom. Steve, Mom's boyfriend, isn’t a bad guy, he's just…not what Lou is used to. And now, he and Mom are getting married, and that means moving. Packing up life as they’ve known it and storing it in Steve’s garage. Lou will be separated from everything in her small but predictable life, farther from Dad than ever. Their last night in the city, Lou receives a mysterious birthday gift: A guitar, left for her by their front door. There’s nothing saying who left it, but it must be from Dad. And as she leaves the only place she’s ever known, she starts to believe that if she can learn how to play it, maybe she can bring a piece of him, and of her old life, home. 🏷: #Bookstagram #PTMBooks #IDGAFBookstagram #HarperKids #ASongCalledHome #MiddeGradeBooks #BooksAndPlants #Shelfie (at Saint Joseph, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cci0B_TLzTu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Y’all I just didn’t like it 🥺 - DNF 48%, skimmed to the end. The premise is so interesting, the beginning of the book hooked me right away but the more I got into it the more I just didn’t love it.

Chase has been on a roll lately with his reading. He just finished up The Dragon Egg Princess by @elloecho and up next, The Counterclockwise Heart by @brianfarreylatz, thanks to @algonquinyr and @algonquinbooks! This new release (2.1.22) is a thought provoking, coming of age middle grade fantasy full of twists, turns, and plenty of drama! — synopsis — Tick . . . tick . . . tick . . . Time is running out in the empire of Rheinvelt. The sudden appearance of a strange and frightening statue foretells darkness. The Hierophants—magic users of the highest order—have fled the land. And the shadowy beasts of the nearby Hinterlands are gathering near the borders, preparing for an attack. Young Prince Alphonsus is sent by his mother, the Empress Sabine, to reassure the people while she works to quell the threat of war. But Alphonsus has other problems on his mind, including a great secret: He has a clock in his chest where his heart should be—and it’s begun to run backwards, counting down to his unknown fate. Searching for answers about the clock, Alphonsus meets Esme, a Hierophant girl who has returned to the empire in search of a sorceress known as the Nachtfrau. When riddles from their shared past threaten the future of the empire, Alphonsus and Esme must learn to trust each other and work together to save it—or see the destruction of everything they both love. _____________________ #Bookstagram #Booknerd #PTMBooks #IDGAFBookstagram #TheCounterClockwiseHeart #MiddleGradeBooks (at Saint Joseph, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaAhlZ-LTJF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Doing laundry and reading more of The Red Palace by @junehwrites on this very long, Korean American Day 🇰🇷🇺🇸 To enter the palace means to walk a path stained in blood... Joseon (Korea), 1758. There are few options available to illegitimate daughters in the capital city, but through hard work and study, eighteen-year-old Hyeon has earned a position as a palace nurse. All she wants is to keep her head down, do a good job, and perhaps finally win her estranged father's approval. But Hyeon is suddenly thrust into the dark and dangerous world of court politics when someone murders four women in a single night, and the prime suspect is Hyeon's closest friend and mentor. Determined to prove her beloved teacher's innocence, Hyeon launches her own secret investigation. In her hunt for the truth, she encounters Eojin, a young police inspector also searching for the killer. When evidence begins to point to the Crown Prince himself as the murderer, Hyeon and Eojin must work together to search the darkest corners of the palace to uncover the deadly secrets behind the bloodshed. _______________________ Available 1.25.22 - big thanks to @fiercereads for sending this one to me!

✨my day in pictures… I drank coffee out of my @caffeineandlegends mug while reading a few chapters of my book, cleaned the house, cut sugar cookies, watched the boys play and craft, went on a date with my husband and stole his shrimp, iced sugar cookies after making homemade royal icing for the first time, and ending the night with LeBlond basketball 🖤 I had such a good day. I’ve found that doing something new, like making sugar cookies for the first time, really does make every day enjoyable! #IDGAFBookstagram #PTMBooks #Bookstagram #LegendaryBox #SugarCookies #BookLover #BookNerd #Books (at Saint Joseph, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXzurzgLGEC/?utm_medium=tumblr
