Teacher Appreciation Sale!

In honor of Teacher Appreciation AND the fact that I just finished my LAST #yalit seminar of the 2018-2019 school year, I've lowered the price of several resources and created a sale bundle on my TPT site.

You can get my "What's New in YA Lit" seminar handbook (all 200+ pages of it) as a PDF (sorry, I'm not killing any more trees) for $29 right now! I've also bundled this handbook, the seminar presentation slides, and a Kid Lit bibliography for $32.30. Check out my TPT store here!

I've lowered the prices on all of my handbooks, highlighting the best books of 2018, 2017, and 2016. Buy the current one, buy all 3... this is a great time to get them.

Happy reading!

PS: The 2019 "Best New Books" handbook will go live at the end of 2019. Stay tuned.

Favorite Feedback Friday

I’m gearing up for my last round of #yalit seminars this school year. The end of April may possibly find me coming to a city near you.

As as I reflect on the year, I love looking at the feedback I receive from attendees. It is always an honor to spend the day with amazing educators, and I appreciate all the positive notes at the end of the day.

I thought I would pause on Fridays to highlight some of my Favorite (often humorous) Feedback...including this recent one:

I always say that we should just hold these seminars in a Barnes & Noble (or insert local bookstore of your choice). They would make a KILLING that day!

Magical Librarian Tour FAIL

Perhaps I should have made these letters say “BREATHE.”

I have presented HUNDREDS of seminars around the country over the years. And traveled THOUSANDS of miles on planes, trains, and automobiles. With suitcases full of books in tow. And even though they always get searched and “repacked” by TSA, I have never lost anything.

Until today.

Halfway through my third week in a row of #yalit seminars, I unpacked my “book” suitcase and discovered that easily 30% of my display stuff (books, book covers, teachers guides, etc) got left behind at yesterday’s seminar hotel. I HAVE NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE. Crying just a little bit this morning. Okay, more than a little bit. 😭📚

UPDATE: hotel was contacted and they admit it was left behind (in a nice neat pile) but they THREW EVERYTHING AWAY. Now I am crying.
