I haven't done one of these since last year. Maybe I need to start writing these posts once a month.
I will tell you this year has been similar to last year. We just got back from a trip to Acadia. Summer reading is almost here. I'm nervous and excited about all the programs and all the people. It is the best of time and the hardest of times. It's going to be harder this year because of budget issues and being down a full time person. I would ask, what adventures do you have planned for this summer?
Because of some health reasons, I'm watching certain things I eat and I hate it. I don't bake as much and it's really hard. I miss baking. If you were baking something fun this week, what would it be?
I'm starting to post more bookish posts on instagram. If you're on there - maybe give me a follow? I'm trying to build up my profile. I would ask what types of posts you like to see bookish photos, pictures of my life, or bookish creations with canva? Do you like to take pictures too?
After the article last year in SLJ, I created a YA Romance Book Trope database. You can read more about it here. You can view it here. It's a work in progress, but I hope it's helpful for librarians for displays and whatnot. I would ask, do you like tropes in romance? What's your favorite one?
My blog has gotten many more hits this last year. I'm grateful for you all reading it. I'd ask, what brings you here? Have you read any books I talk about? What book would recommend to me?
I haven't been good at different crafts lately. I was hoping to get back into paper quilling this year, but honestly, I've spent the majority of my crafting time painting. Here are a few paintings:
I would ask, what have you crafted lately?
I would ask, what's new with you. What do you want to share?
* This idea was taken many years ago from Jamie over at The Perpetual Page Turner

I always think I should do these as well. Maybe we can both make it a goal for the new school year. I just went to Rochester, NY for some sight seeing, and am going to Grand Rapids in July for the Latvian song festival. I just made a Texas sheet cake for a picnic, but didn't eat any of it! Instagram is a challenge for me; I tend to post silly things. Don't read much YA. I've been visiting your blog since... you were a Cybils judge? It's lost to the mists of time, but you're on my blog feed, so I try to visit. You're paintings are nice. My quilting has been slow this summer. Wish we really could have tea in person! : )
