Earlier this week, I was on a work call and the wo Earlier this week, I was on a work call and the woman I was chatting with mentioned listening to audiobooks and I LITERALLY COULD NOT HELP MYSELF. I jumped in with “Have you listened to The Favorites yet??” (She hadn’t but she promised she would add it to her TBR). This audiobook was the most terrific way to kick off my year of listening but now I’m worried nothing else will hold up to it this year - I was completely absorbed by this one! If you’ve read it, I’d love to know what you thought! And if you’d like the link, comment with the word FAVORITES and I’ll send it right to your DMs #janssens30secondbookreviews
Some years, I go HARD with a big list of books to Some years, I go HARD with a big list of books to read aloud to my kids. This year, I kept it to a much more manageable list. Comment with the word LIST and I’ll send the list of books I hope we get to this year right to your DMs.
Every time there is a Kindle sale or the holidays Every time there is a Kindle sale or the holidays roll around, a week or two later I get a flood of questions about “WHY ARE MY BOOKS SHOWING UP ON MY KIDS KINDLE?” I love this question because it’s so easy to answer. And if you need help adding their library books (or Kindle Unlimited or Audible titles) to their profile, reply with LIBRARY and I’ll send step by step directions right to your DMs!
But WHY is reading a book with short chapters so m But WHY is reading a book with short chapters so much more gratifying? When I’m reading aloud to my kids, I’d MUCH rather read 5 short chapters than 1 long chapter that’s the same length! For months, my DMs have been full of messages asking for kid books with short chapters and today I have a huge list! Comment with the word SHORT and I’ll send the list right to your DMs!
Finding an author or series that my teenager loves Finding an author or series that my teenager loves feels like hitting the jackpot! I snagged her a few Jordan Sonnenblick books on sale a while ago and during Christmas break she blew through all the ones I’d bought her and then grabbed all of the ones our library had! I read a half dozen or so of his books back a decade or more ago and absolutely loved them. They’re funny, sweet, deal with hard topics (like childhood cancer or dementia or sports injuries) with a light touch, and you even get a little romance thrown in for good measure.  I remember laughing AND crying over these books and I love seeing my daughter enjoy them just as much! Comment with the word BOOKS and I’ll send the list of books she’s enjoyed by him right to your DMs!
This is a library trick I find myself using every This is a library trick I find myself using every night before we leave for a trip and I don’t have time to wait in a weeks (or months!) long hold line for books to read or listen to on our trip! Have you used this Libby trick before? It’s so helpful for finding something for you or your kids when you need it RIGHT NOW. Share this with a friend who loves the library and if you want more Libby tips and tricks, comment with the word LIBBY and I’ll send my whole post right to your DMs (plus step-by-step directions for searching ONLY audiobooks on Libby!)
