July 2023 Reading Update!

Only read 5 books this month but that still feels like a win given how sick our household was this month. Check out the link to my Bookshop.org list in the July 23 📚highlights or link in bio.

Shoutout to @jamiesumner_author @veerawrites and @danielnayeri for writing middle grade fiction I enjoyed! All y’all wrote sequels to books I enjoyed and I picked up your newest releases. Thanks for doing what you do!

She's recently written a book, There's Always Water in the Wilderness: A Close Look at the Biblical Motifs of Wells and Wildernesses. On today's episode, we chat about the writing process, Kari's reading life, what it means to closely read a text and why it's important when it is applied to reading Scripture, and swap some great book recommendations!

Find Kari at @cope.Kari or Kari(at)karicope(dot)com. She'd love to hear from you.

@noextrawords and I had such a fantastic time discussing the ALA youth media awards last year on the Library Laura Podcast that we decided to do it again for 2022, this time on Instagram Live.
These are books like the Newbery and Caldecott winners, as well as Coretta Scott King, Pura Belpre, and many others. It’s always interesting to see what wins (and what doesn’t)!
The actual awards are announced on Monday morning at 8 AM central time. I hope to catch some of it!
Kris and I will be going live on Thursday the 27th around 7pm central time. Come join us 😀

On this week’s dose of book recommendations, library love, and literary enthusiasm, our guest is Nancy McConnell (@nancyemcc66 ) the author of Into the Lion’s Mouth. It’s a middle grade historical fiction novel set in 1498 Venice. This is her debut novel but she has several other manuscripts in the works, including a graphic novel in collaboration with her daughter, Rebecca. She’s also a mother and an educator. We have a great conversation about her reading and writing life and swap some wonderful recommendations for both children and adult books.

Visit www.nancymcconnell.com or connect with Nancy on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. If you're looking for seasonal book recommendations or middle grade reads, she's a great person to ask! You can purchase Into the Lion's Mouth on Amazon, Bookshop.org, or Immortal Works. (And of course your local indie bookstore can order it!)

Books from today's episode are on the Library Laura storefront on bookshop.org (see links in bio)

On this dose of book recommendations, library love, and literary enthusiasm, our guest is author Tom Kreffer (@tom_kreffer ). Tom is the author of two books about fatherhood, Dear Dory: Journal of A Soon-to-be First-time Dad and Dear Arlo: Adventures in Dadding. In his books of daily journal entries, Kreffer alternates between profound and profane as he chronicles his wife's pregnancy and their child's first year. We talk about his writing process, the joys and struggles of parenthood, what he enjoys reading, and what he's writing next!

If you don’t know, @bookshop_org is offering FREE standard shipping all weekend (until 11/29)! Also @librofm is running a #thanksforgiving promotional where if you spend at least $15 at your local bookstore or on Bookshop, you can submit your receipt and choose from a short list of bestselling audiobooks also for FREE.
That means you can buy a book from my Bookshop storefront (link in my bio or search “Library Laura” in the Shops tab), then get free shipping, then get a free audiobook. All while supporting me and local indie bookstores. Win-win-win!

If you do either of these promos, I want to know what you chose in the comments 😁
