Joy of Reading | Donalyn Miller, Teri Lesesne

My plan of action is to vote. I'm privileged to live in a state where I can sit down at home with my ballot and voter's pamphlet. I can take as much time as I need to make informed decisions. We can liberate libraries and librarians in states where books are being banned. Children are not free if they can't see themselves in what they read. #ala #freedomtoread #dayofaction #americanlibraryassociation #vote #blm #lgbtq+ #transrights saves lives.

When Among Crows | Veronica Roth

Fangirling over the amazing Veronica Roth at the #ALA conference. Loved this panel on morally gray characters, fascinating author perspectives. She is joined in the photo by Yume Kitasei and Mary E Pearson and O.O. Sangoyomi isn‘t pictured but I‘m so excited about her debut fantasy novel!

The Freedom to Read | American Library Association
post image

The Missouri Library Association is fighting against Missouri House Bill 2044 which would appoint a “parent group” to pass into law censorship of library books. I can only hope the librarians and library patrons who fight against this censorship win this battle. #censorship #freedomtoread #ala #ireadbannedbooks

I picked up this cookbook at #ala this year. I am a vegetarian and this book had mostly things I cannot eat. But I liked the spice mixes, though.

This was a volume two, which I picked up at #ala and did not read the first of. It was for younger readers. The art was a little simple. But the story was cute.

Joined today after the joint Litsy/LibraryThing meetup yesterday evening. Thanks, Tim, for getting me into the Exhibits to get all these great books!

BookFreakOut Hello again! I also picked up Luminous Dead and Terra-Two! Managed to get everything packed up under the airline weight limit. 5y
drneutron @BookFreakOut Luminous Dead will probably be the first one I read, but unfortunately, I picked up 6 library books before I left (and have a seventh waiting for me). So I have to figure out how to interleave the two batches. 😁 5y
charl08 Still super impressed by this haul. One day I will get to an ALA meeting! 5y

SqueakyChu Welcome to Litsy! Great book haul! I‘m sure you‘ll get them all read...eventually! I hope you enjoy Litsy. I find it fun to post brief messages here about books as I read them. (edited) 5y
drneutron Thanks! I‘ve been posting as I finish, but will probably add those in process too. 5y
SqueakyChu @drneutron So how have you been enjoying Litsy? I love to stop right in the middle of a book just to jot down my thoughts here. 5y
drneutron So far, I‘ve enjoyed seeing the range of what folks are reading! 5y
humouress I'm still working out how to use Litsy, but I'm finding it useful to put down thoughts/ quotes as I read. Then I can use them to write a review on LibraryThing (and then bring the review back here and work out how to condense it right down). (edited) 5y

This is what I dragged home on the Metro. 😁
I really tried to stick with diverse books, and there were SO many books in translation, books set outside the US, and #ownvoices. It was really great to see. I'm excited to read these. Exhausted, but glad I went. #ALA

LeahBergen Nice! 👍🏻 5y
