Week in Review: November 4

Obviously there was a fair bit of bad news this week with the attack in lower Manhattan. I’m really glad that it wasn’t worse but am incredibly saddened that it happened at all.

On a personal level this week was pretty draining. I’m not sure I want to get into it here at least in part because I don’t want to get angry again but basically my mom did not get the best possible prognosis at the doctor this week.

I’ve been trying to read a lot of books in anticipation of the Mock Printz program my committee does at work. I’m feeling good about my preparation as we get ready to pick out shortlist titles. If you are at all interested in the Printz Award I’d also recommend checking out the Someday My Printz Will Come blog.

I’m still trying to figure out details but I think this year I am going to try to bring some of the Mock Printz stuff from work onto the blog so details to come!

 

Here’s my latest from Instagram:
