Running Out of Time | 
I enjoyed this very much when it first came out, and now there's a sequel I decided to reread. It's wonderful suspense for kids. I suspect recent events might have inspired the author to revisit the idea.

pickCompelling and suspenseful novel of a frontier village called Clifton in 1840. Diphtheria has struck and children are dying; but there‘s another problem - a secret being kept by the adults in the community. One brave young girl, Jessie, tries to get help…

My #MiddleGradeMay readathon plans include two graphic novels, a back list from the 90s, and a collection of classic Beverly Cleary novels. I hope you can join us! I can't wait to read some more middle grade. @megnews
When I found out that the guest on this week‘s episode of my podcast was as into both the book at hand AND Colonial Williamsburg as I was growing up, I knew it was going to be a great ep... and it is! We‘re chatting all about Margaret Peterson Haddix‘s 1995 adventure novel Running Out of Time. I know I say this a lot, but this book was really my favorite! Link to listen in bio. 🎧
pick3.5/5⭐ I think a younger reader would appreciate it more than I did, though I did find parts compelling. Also I hope M. Night Shyamalan has acknowledged that his movie The Village clearly drew inspiration from this book. #owlsreadathon2019
pickOh my god...! This book is absolutely fantastic. This is written beautifully and I would so recommend it for anyone.
Welp, it's that time on the month when you start frantically trying to figure out how to finish all the books you started....I brutally cut books from my January TBR earlier and I'm STILL having trouble. 🙈 #litsypartyofone
First book of 2018 is a recommendation from @drbethandherkindle ! Currently borrowing it from her childhood bookshelf.
Recommended these excellent YA books to @kitty_reads from the shelves in my childhood bedroom. So glad @Pamwurtzler hasn‘t purged in there yet because these books are EXCELLENT. Does anyone else share my love for these?
I haven't received my #SummerSantaGoesPostal parcel yet 😞
But hopefully this parcel waiting for me is it. I can collect it tomorrow. Fingers crossed 🤞
I've been slacking Littens! I really have to put the hammer down if I want to pull off this #readathon. I hope I can stay awake!

I was checking in books at work, and I saw this cover. Immediately a warm, nostalgic feeling came over me. I remember almost nothing about the plot, but that immediate visual memory tells me to reread it because it was clearly important to my childhood, and I need to relive the experience. #YesIWorkinaLibrary #childhoodfavorites
I started the year off feeling amped for the 2016 @bookriot Read Harder Challenge... it's now a week into November and I'm realizing that I'm only slightly more than halfway completed. Oops. Is it worth it to try to buckle down and finish it, or should I just scrap it and start fresh in 2017? 🤔
When you're going back home on Friday and you have a few library books you need to finish, but you're in a bit of a reading rut and just want to sleep. Ack!!!! 😖😩
Decided to limit my all-time faves to books or series that I've loved for at least 10 years. Otherwise, I'd need to take a picture of the Library of Congress to get them all in there. Also just realized I forgot Ender's Game, what have I done?!?!?!

pickRe-read a middle school favorite book...still a favorite over 15 years later! Interesting plot keeps you invested until the last page.
