An Ending and A New Beginning

I have been writing this blog for several years now.  It started out as a way to give people a look at the books, students, and school that I loved.  It eventually morphed into a book review blog - children's books since I was an elementary school librarian.  

I retired this spring after 27 years.  I still loved my job, school, and students.  I didn't leave because of the Coronavirus.  I left because there are lots of things I'd like to do that don't necessarily fit in with the school calendar.  Things like visit out of state grandchildren, be available to share the daycare load for local grandchildren, and travel in the fall and spring (hopefully again!).  

I am finding my self reading - A LOT!  I love that I have the time to read without feeling guilty and I am free to read whatever I want.  As an elementary school librarian I read middle grade fiction all the time.  I no longer feel guilty when reading about serial killers or books that contain spanky sex.

As a result, this blog will be moving away from writing about children's books and moving toward to great wide world of the printed word.
