It’s been 5 years without my mom and I wish every day I could still call her and tell her about everything both big and small. This book is so special and the true story behind it is so sad. Books are truly magic. @Orca Book Publishers #booktok #grief #mentalhealth #fyp #books

May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Month, so here’s a GREAT middle grade book I read last year! #booktok #aapi #books #fyp #xybca @HarperCollins

Would not recommend the experiences I had with 1 and 2 on ANYONE. Also, don’t ask me to do math. I’ve moved on. #booktok #fyp #trending #horrormovies #grief

Children’s Book Week part four and this time I’m talking about my favorite novels in verse! Have you read any? #booktok #fyp #poetry #reading #books @Amber McBride @clarionteen @Bloomsbury Books @Simon Teen @Penguin Kids

Part three of Children’s Book Week recs (a little late!) and this time it’s middle grade books! This is a little longer because they don’t get enough credit here on booktok, but it’s okay. Have you read any? #booktok #fyp #middlegradebooks #reading #xyzbca @Ann Braden @Simon & Schuster @J

Part two of my Children’s Book Week recs and this time it’s early readers! @Random House Children’s Books #booktok #fyp #childrensbooks #reading #books

Children’s Book Week was this last week, so let’s wrap it up by starting off with some of my favorite picture books! #booktok #fyp #xyzbca #picturebook #childrensbooks @Chronicle Books @Bess Kalb @Random House Children’s Books @HarperCollins @LuckyDiazLibros @Benson Shum @Padma Lakshmi

#greenscreen when I tell you I was halfway out of my seat, @tomi adeyemi ! But seriously, @The Devil Wears Prada 2 was SO GOOD and was such a fantastic look at the trajectory of storytelling and why it’s important to save journalism and its writers. #booktok #fyp #xyzbca #devilwearsprada

Yes, I stil have so many videos I’ve stockpiled that I’m now posting late…despite having them recorded. Me depress, baby! But really. I loved this book and thought it was so great! #booktok #fyp #xyzbca #books #earthday

Replying to @Robin and here we go! I recorded this in November and forgot how much I TRULY loved this book. It’s such a great read for classrooms and families! EVEN BETTER if you read it at the library! #booktok #fyp #library #xyzbca #reading @LevarBurton @PBS @Charlesbridge Publishing

Life has been LIFING, but I have a bunch of videos to share for these days. They were both last week…should I still post them? #booktok #fyp #reading #books #earthday

Both of these picture books show different aspects of black history and they’re both so very important. #fyp #booktok #blackhistorymonth #reading #books

Both books are so great and I haven’t seen Unearthed mentioned. I really loved Ander and Santi Were Here and think everyone should read it. Especially now. #fyp #booktok #minnesota #reading #books @DC @Wednesday Books

Lunar New Year/Seollal/Tet is February 17th and here are two fantastic picture books that show the importance of family and tradition during this joyous time of year. Thank you, @Random House Children’s Books for both books! #fyp #booktok #lunarnewyear #picturebooks #chinesenewyear

It’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow, so I thought I’d share some of my favorite romances written by black authors! Still waiting on that third Girls Trip, @Tracey Livesay! 😹 #fyp #booktok #valentinesday #romance #reading

#greenscreen educators cannot indoctrinate your kids when we are literally told to remain neutral. Also, with what time do you think we can organize a protest for them when we can’t even get them to put their phones away or remember to charge their laptops? Please be so serious, Carol. #fypシ #

Reading is INHERENTLY political. Saying that it’s not is…ludicrous. White men never wanted women or BIPOC people to even LEARN HOW TO READ, Carol. YOUR ability to do so so freely was won by many who fought for that right. This barely scratches the surface of why reading is political, but if you

Love a new book Tuesday! These were all really great and I’m really enjoying the last one. Which one are you picking up? @Knopf Doubleday @Charlesbridge Publishing @Random House Children’s Books @Celadon Books #fypシ #booktok #newrelease #books #xyzbca

Both HEARTFELT and A STICKLER VALENTINE were so precious and so great if you want something a little different this Valentine’s Day. I loved both so much. #fypシ #booktok #valentinesday #vday #picturebooks @Random House Children’s Books @Simon & Schuster

Just read diversely all year, my dudes. #fypシ #booktok #reading #books #badbunny
