Venn diagram has a light blue background with peach and green colored overlapping circles. The peach colored circle reads READERS WHO LOVE MUSICAL THEATER, and the green one reads READERS WHO LOVE GHOST STORIES.
Where are my bookseller, librarian, teacher, & author friends who fall at the intersection of this Venn diagram? (The book is a mystery, and so is this question for now.)

While we wait for an apology from the men's hockey team, it's worth noting that the locker room video is a teachable moment for kids. Talk with them about how to respond when someone makes that kind of demeaning comment.
"Dude, women won 8 of the USA's 12 gold medals" might have been a good start.

A blond-haired elementary school girl sits at a restaurant table with chicken nuggets in front of her, reading the graphic novel CAMP MONSTER, which has orange title font with a blue and white yeti on the cover. White text against an orange background reads "Just at dinner with our favorite book we take everywhere now..."
Y'all...these texts & photos that librarians are forwarding from parents of kids who saw me on the CAMP MONSTER graphic novel book tour this week are EVERYTHING. #CampMonster @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social @falynnk.bsky.social

Cute graphic novel, perfect for younger readers. Tasha is a Yeti & her family used to run Camp Yeti. With so few yetis left, they’re reopening as Camp Monster. Will the stories be the same as what Gramp Abominable told her? Follow her fun journey as Camp Monster takes shape. @katemessner.com
