I keep writing and deleting posts about how frustrated I am that YA now includes people who are out of high school, living independently, paying rent, and otherwise being an adult. To a 13 or 14yo, that 19yo isn't relateable; they're a grown-up.

Took part in our traditional Christmas book exchange a bit early before meeting up with family. Can't wait to dive into @alysawishingrad.bsky.social's BETWEEN MONSTERS AND MARVELS.

For those looking for my Public Lists: look under the LISTS tab on my profile. You can also find them at debbieohi.link/bluesky-lists I keep the List Image Headers in my image organization app (Eagle). Here's a screenshot of some of the Lists I've created so far, to help with community connections.

My hold at the library finally came in last week! COYOTE QUEEN by @jessicavitalis.bsky.social is such an important story and I'm so glad it exists for the kids who need it. Such an incredible balance of hope, and not shying away from the presence of alcohol-dependent parents and domestic violence.
