Book exchange from ardaigle

Many Thanks to Ardaigle!

December 10, 2020 by MsWas Leave a Comment

We’ve had all kinds of deliveries lately for the holidays, but I was super psyched to see ardaigle’s name in the return address this morning. Finally a present just for me! And inside was The Assassination of Brangwain Spurge by M.T. Anderson & Eugene Yelchin, 11/22/63 by Stephen King, and the cutest little bag that’s shaped like an old checkout card! Readers alike will love it. Top it off with a bookmark and sticker and I’m in heaven! Thank you, thank you, thank you, ardaigle!!   […]

November Fundraising: The Best Thing That Happened to Me This Week Was You

November 20, 2020 by MsWas Leave a Comment

In this dumpster fire of a year, the most unexpected highlights in my 2020 turned out to be you, Cannonballers. Just this week, one of LanierHgts’s reviews garnered a comment from the author, Phyllis Fagell, saying that this review was the best thing that happened to her this week. And it’s all because LanierHgts read Middle School Matters. Every single time an author comments on a CBR review, it’s a thrill and really keeps me going; and so I thank you all from the bottom […]
