High Shelf Esteem

Archives for February 2019

February 13, 2019

Thank You for Reading High Shelf Esteem!

I’ve been blogging on High Shelf Esteem for about two and half years and it’s with mixed emotions that I announce my next post will be my last. My librarian life is busy as it is, and this year is going to be even busier. I’m on two committees for the American Library Association (one of which will require reading 100-150 books!) and looking to transition to a new library position, so things are going to be rather nutso in 2019.

That being said, sharing my enthusiasm for reading and helping (hopefully) you live your best literary lives has been so much fun and I will miss it very much. I’m still sharing my bookish thoughts and recommendations on Book Riot, though, so please look for me there. Here’s the link to my first post as an official contributor: 8 Year of the Pig Book Releases by Asian American Authors To Add To Your TBR

Thank you very much for reading High Shelf Esteem and I wish you the best in all your future reading adventures!

Literary Linking: January 28 – February 1

This week’s link topics include: a school with a book vending machine, the 2019 Newbery & Caldecott medals, reading at parties, and more!

My favorite bookish links from the weeks of January 28 – February 1 :

Instead of Snacks, a Vending Machine at This Elementary School Is Filled with Books
The Rainbow Magic books in there are a little bit like the junk food of books, but it’s still a super fun idea 🙂

I’m an Introvert Who Proudly Takes Reading Breaks at Parties
Plus books make great conversations starters!

How 10 Women of Color Actually Feel about Working in Book Publishing
Patricia Caldwell, founder of People of Color in Publishing, puts it well when she says, “We need to move beyond ‘we need diverse books’ to ‘we need diverse people.’”

Meg Medina Wins Newbery and Sophie Blackall Is Awarded Her Second Caldecott
Meg Medina’s Merci Suarez Changes Gears was one of my fave middle-grade books last year, so I’m thrilled she won the Newbery. Definitely add it to your TBR.
