Happy weekend, readers!

It’s time for another edition of Reading Raves, where I share what I’ve read and loved lately. If you’re wondering what a librarian who reads aloud to kids over 1,000 times a year reads on her own time, this is the place to find out.

Usually, I recap my kidlit reading on my podcast, then share my bonus grown-up reads with you. But since the podcast is on hiatus for the summer, this month you’re getting it all. Get your hold lists ready…

It was a solid albeit mixed reading month for me. Of the 18 books I finished in May, I’m sharing 9 that I especially enjoyed and would recommend.
