For those who survived Monday (It was glorious! The costumes! The candy! But wow, what a way to start the week.), get outside today and get those vibes🎉

Thursday’s Weather Rating: 10/10 Just another W! Peak fall weather continues. Highs in the upper 60s, a light breeze, low dew points and sunshine. It doesn’t get better than this. The vibes are immaculate!!!



The first book collaboration by these powerhouse writers is my #1 recommendation. It’s got something for everyone!! I am giddy to read the 2nd book! Pinch yourself because we are living through a miraculous time!

“Upbeat” YA collaboration WHITEOUT from @angiecthomas, Ashley Woodfolk (@AshWrites), Dhonielle Clayton (@brownbookworm), @NicolaYoon, Tiffany D. Jackson (@WriteinBK) and Nic Stone “captures the enchanting spirit of…enduring Black love” pwne.ws/3yNJzhm

I'm celebrating a book birthday today! This picture book biography of fashion designer Ann Lowe has been a long time coming - almost seven years - so I woke up with happy tears in my eyes, and a few sad ones, too. Here's why... (thread)

This is what happens when October wants to be extra spooky—

3:50pm: Here's something you don't see every day! Thunderstorms moving towards Long Island and NYC from the east. #morerain



The vibes are pretty low in NYC—

Nobody: Ian: I am just remnants of myself NYC: Ok Ian: I will stay here for a few days NYC: Can we not Ian: I live here now NYC: What -



Takeaway— all reading/listening to words and images COUNTS as reading🎉 Let it rain personal pan pizzas for everyone 🍕

I often hear parents, teachers, etc. tell kids what counts as reading and what doesn't. They usually say that graphic novels, audio books, etc. don't count. Here's a simple rule: EVERYTHING counts. If it has words, and you read or listen to them, IT COUNTS. The end.



A gift for you-

Puppy thinks he's one of them...🐶🐾🐥🐤🐥🥰



Hey #librarians! Can you even imagine how amazing this would be!?

The @librarycongress has the largest flute collection in the world with more than 1,800. It incl Pres James Madison’s 1813 crystal flute. @lizzo we would love for you to come see it and even play a couple when you are in DC next week. Like your song they are “Good as hell.”😉

I got an ARC and my kids went wild for it! What a fun, wild, romp through a narrative you thought you knew. 🎉

If you happen to be in Metro NYC, get ready for some great vibes.

Saturday’s Weather Rating: 8/10 Just another W. A little warmer than the past few days, with highs in the mid 80’s, but dew points stay comfortable with a nice breeze. Sunny early, some more clouds as the day goes on. The vibes remain great!!!
