New #TheseBooksMadeMe ep is up! 🎧🔊✨ This week, we explore the life and loves of Janie Crawford in Zora Neale Hurston's classic novel Their Eyes Were Watching God. Listen now on your favorite podcast app or at pgcmls.info/podcasts

Yes, buy the banned book but then SHOW UP FOR YOUR LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS. Voter turnout in local elections is dismal - let them know that reading choice matters to you!
The Last Ballad, by Wiley Cash-- sad that this feels so relevant today #PgcmlsBookchat
I started Akata Witch, by Nnedi Okorafor, and was delighted to open to the first page and find a quote from Wizard of the Crow, by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, a book I love. Bodes well . . . #PgcmlsBookChat
Surprised by my glee over Chris Stapleton and HER performing a duet and really seeming to enjoy A Very Special Christmas.
#PgcmlsBookChat #RomanceIncludesYou Just started @serataino 's debut, A Delicious Dilemma!
@PGCMLS Thirteen Ways Of Looking At A Glacier / after Wallace Stevens, Craig Santos Perez The poem comes from his 2020 collection Habitat Threshold craigsantosperez.com/books/habitat-… poets.org/poem/thirteen-… #PgcmlsPoetry Day 2, Poem 2
#PgcmlsPoetry context definitely changes my reading of the poem, though I'm not sure my initial reaction--more light-hearted, bouncing along with a "put-upon" student--was appropriate even if author had not been an indigenous student torn from family. Deceptive form for content.
Brava! Assured & appealing debut by @serataino! While I could have gobbled this story down like Val's delicious stewed chicken, I chose to read a bit slower, savoring the way Val & Philip found their way with integrity after their dazzled introduction.
Looking forward to author talk with Pedro Muñoz Guevara tonight, 9/30, at 7 pm! Tune in youtu.be/VMy-jtD9vB0 #SoyDeEstaTierra #Pgcmls
Today is release day for my debut novel, A Delicious Dilemma. Writing can often be a lonely journey but the truth is, we never travel that road alone. There are so many people I want to thank. I hope I don't forget anyone!: 1/8 #adeliciousdilemma #debutnovel
I know zero about running, but I could watch #AthingMu's 800M all day, and her reaction when she realized USA teammate #RaevynRogers would join her on the podium.
#PgcmlsBookChat yikes. First time reading this one
Your County is here to help you get vaccinated! @ProudtobeProtected
Thank you to all who stopped by to help us kick off #SummerAtPGCMLS at Bladensburg Branch, especially those who contributed to our mural!

I can't wait until August (when I traditionally start my yearly horror reading). Time for Stephen Graham Jones' "The Last Final Girl". I was going to enjoy it on the back porch with a beer but the mosquitoes have convinced me otherwise.
@RepKinzinger trumpism isn't politics. It’s a long-standing violence-and-intimidation generation machine. It’s racism, fascism, and lies combined to further fracture social divisions and deteriorate societal stress points. From Central Park 5 to the Wall to Floyd and the Big Lie/Jan 6 attack
Happy mom/librarian moment when my own kid is excited about reading and art and meet an idol. She hasn't stopped talking about this.

I've started If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio. Saw it described recently as an example of a Dark Academia read! #PgcmlsBookChat

I've been looking forward to digging into this one (needed to clear out some others from my TBR first) - "Queer Theology: Beyond Apologetics" by Linn Marie Tonstad. It is exactly the overview plus new thinking that I'd been looking for. And very readable. #PgcmlsBookChat

@MacFarlaneNews @GallantPelham My evergreen tweet. If there was a trampoline, a swimming pool, a pit bull OR a German Shep, their insurance company could and would double their rate - and if they lied about any of it, they would get cancelled. But this? Not an eyelash out of place.
