I’ve surpassed my goal of 150 books for 2026 read & reviewed on Goodreads as of September.
September was a slow reading/reviewing month for me because I also moved, yes again 🫠 which takes a lot of time and energy. I reviewed 2 picture books and 4 adult books.
According to Goodreads I’ve read 156 books but I can see a few are missing and one appears twice so it’s not an exact count. As always my reviews are only for books I like and I write 4 & 5 star reviews. Follow me on Goodreads for more details.
I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects.
