Sunday Reflections: Mapping the Violence in Your Childhood Memories
Wednesday night I was on the phone with my dad making sure my family was okay and when he asked what I was doing I said I was writing a post. He told me to mention him in my post – so this post is for him. Right before I began the third grade my […]
#FSYALit: Authors Need Grace Too, a guest post by Jackie Lea Sommers
Part of the reason that Ally and I wanted to host and dive into the Faith and Spirituality in YA Lit Discussion was because we wanted to hear a variety of voices talking about a variety of faith experiences in their YA literature and how it related to the real life experiences of teens. When […]
Eating Disorders: Haunting the 616.85 Section, a #MHYALit guest post by BELIEVAREXIC author J. J. Johnson
It may seem weird to talk about eating disorders in a week when we have been talking about food, but food is a complicated issue for a lot of people. It was for me. No, it is for me. And it is also for BELIEVAREXIC author J. J. Johnson. She contacted me about participating in […]

Video Games Weekly: Star Wars Battlefront
I hope everyone has survived their Fall Break! As I wrote in an earlier post, Star Wars Battlefront recently came out for the holiday season and as predicted, it’s pretty popular at my library. However, it isn’t doing as well in sales because it is competing with big ticketed games like Fallout 4 and Call […]
Food TPiB: Waffle It Edition
As I mentioned yesterday, right now my life is all about waffles! And in my waffle obsessed state, I finally figured out a way that I – the person who hates to cook – can host an Unconventional Cooking Club with teens. Today, I will share with you the Waffle It! Edition. It turns out, […]
MakerSpace: Rethinking Food in Programming, Again? Yes, Again.
Thing 2 loves waffles, which is why The Mr. had a moment of brilliance: let’s buy a waffle iron. It did not realize that this small purchase – we bought ours at the local thrift store for $3.00 because we are poor – would become the inspiration for what may become one of my most […]
