Category Archives: Features Oh, hey there! Hello March, springtime, sunshine, and all of the best make-your-heart-happy books as you sunbathe. (Ideally, right?) We hung out for a little while ‘in person’ to chat about THE HATING GAME by Sally Thorne – a book that should be high on your radar for reading as soon as possible. We discussed […]  Rediscovering old books is by far one of my favorite things EVER, and I’ve been so glad to do so this year with #SoRatherBeYoung. At the same time, I’ve loved learning more about my friend, Hannah, and what books made her a reader when she was an adorable kid. This round of picks have been interesting. I […]

I used to listen to the Wayside books on cassette! I loved them SO much. I definitely need to rediscover these too.

Aww, Wayside! I have found memories of the first book in that series, which I read when I was little and found so darn fun 😉

Ahh, Wayside!! I haven’t read those books in years either though, like you mentioned, there are bits and pieces I remember. The one thing that sticks out the most – and I’m not sure which book it was – but the entire 13th story was skipped over. If The Borrowers is the same as the movie I’m thinking of, a teensy little Tom Felton had a role!  I’m typing this by the light of my Christmas tree, while listening to the Peanut gang serenade me and I still can’t believe we’ve already reached the final post for the Dive Into Diversity challenge. This will officially be the first and last challenge I host on Rather Be Reading blog, and I couldn’t have […]  A big Rather Be Reading welcome to romance writer, Vicki Lewis Thompson, who shares a unique moment that kicked off to her 2015 for the Naughty & Nice blog tour. When you live in the desert, the only snow you expect to see during the Christmas holidays comes from a spray can. It snows in Tucson […]

Whoops! I meant MAGAN, not MEGAN. It’s early here in the desert!

Good morning, all! Thanks to Megan and Estelle for hosting my blog post today! No snow in Tucson this morning. In fact, it’s supposed to be close to 80 degrees! If you live in snow country, please don’t hate me for living in Tucson. 🙂 I’ll check in later today to see what everyone’s up to!  Ohmigosh. It is FRIDAY. Why is it that the week after a holiday weekend feels like it goes on for months and months? Maybe it’s all the holiday anticipation. Or still not being over daylight savings? (Tell me this gets worse when you get older.) Anyway, pizza, and Star Wars: The Empire Strike Back are […]

I’m not much of a beer drinker, but you’ve sold me on Tell the Wolves I’m Home! I can’t wait to check it out!

Oh, yes, I LOVE that you focused on sisters for this pub date! Being a sister and having sisters myself always makes me gravitate towards reads that feature them, so I’m definitely going to check out the books I haven’t read yet that you’ve featured here! Welcome to the 11th month of the Dive into Diversity challenge! Rebecca and I can hardly believe we are just about done, but here we are. In the last sparkly original post, I’m piggybacking off some feelings I’ve had lately — how the general public who doesn’t spend a lot of time hanging out in […]

Hi Estelle and Magan,

Awesome post 🙂 I interviewed a librarian for DID early in the year and it was definitely interesting, especially hearing from an Aussie librarian. Loved this and love that Pamela is spending more money on diverse books, instead of more popular titles. Brilliant.

It’s fascinating to see the different perspectives for each of these librarians! I love how they’ve been integrating diversity into what they buy and promote in their libraries 🙂 |
