BTP Summer 2021 Update

Hello all! You know what time of year it is (finally). SUMMER! The prettiest weather, the best activities, the cutest outfits, and (I saved the best for last) the most time for reading. As you all know, summer is the time when BTP gets the most action. I read more, review more, post more, take pictures more, book club more, everything with books - MORE. I thought I would give you all a BTP summer update / plan so (1) you know what to expect, and (2) I can hold myself accountable for posting. 

MORE FREQUENT POSTS

I plan to post more often (significantly more often) now that school is out, and I don't have homework and you know, I don't have to drive an hour to school every day. Expect more reviews and fun content very soon (I made a spreadsheet with checkboxes and deadlines, so I mean business). 

BOOK CLUB

Be'Tween' the Pages is organizing another book club this year! If you go to my high school, please email me if you still wish to join. Everyone else, get ready for some book club content that highlights our conversations as well as the rationale behind the books we choose to read together. Hopefully, some of you will get inspired to start your own summer book clubs! 

READING MORE

I get to read more. This requires little to no explanation. When I get to read more, you get to hear more about it. Lucky me and lucky you (lol). 

BOOKISH CONTENT

I will post more reviews, as this is a book REVIEW blog; however, I look forward to posting more interest pieces as well like collections of niche types of books (ie my fav royalty fiction), updates on my reading (including pie charts *squeal*) with stats and favorite authors so far, and book store visit reviews. 

SUMMER JOBS W/ BOOKS

I am happy to report that I have two jobs this summer! I will be working at two libraries (one public and one private) - I am soooooo cooooool aren't I? I am looking forward to keeping a log of my experiences on here as well as being a library advocate through this blog. 


Happy summer everyone!! I am looking forward to posting and reading more in the coming months. Happy reading! What book are you starting the summer off with?

Author Spotlight: Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

Kimberly Brubaker Bradley At my school, I am a Library Leader. (Library Leaders promote reading in the middle school and recommend books for the younger grades.) The Library Leaders had the fortunate opportunity of eating lunch and meeting with Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. We got to ask her questions and just talk with her. Mrs. Bradley also spoke to the whole seventh and eighth grade in assembly about her research. 1)      When/How does she write? Mrs. Bradley writes in the morning, but this depends on her chores for the day. She got into her routine when her children, now graduating college and out of college, were small and went to school. She would always wait until her husband took them to drop them off at school. She likes for her writing space to be very quiet. She prefers typing when she when she writes as to writing. (This may be pretty common; I do not know what the common format among writers is today. I just thought I would include eve...

The Great Literary Trip: Day 1

Hello everyone, and welcome to 16 days on the road with Between the Pages! I am traveling the east coast for around two weeks finding the best bookstores, exploring literary sites, and plundering my way through roughly 2,000 miles of land, through hamlets and cities, through rain and sun. This reader is up to the challenge. Are you? As promised, I will supply a daily report of my wanderings including the cities we explored, the sites we discovered, and the shops we visited. Without further adieu, here is day 1! (More exciting reports are to come, as driving was today's main {*only*} activity.) Day 1 CITIES We made it to three main cities today: Bristol, TN , Knoxville, TN , and Charlottesville, VA . Again, today's main activity was driving (and driving and driving and driving). Today was not my first journey to any of the three cities; however, this road trip shed new light on each one. BOOKSTORES Our first literary stop of the entire trip was a spontaneous one. The original pl...

The Southeast's Best Bookstores

      Southern Living's  The South's Best Bookstores highlights five bookstores in the southeastern United States that the publication deems noteworthy based on a wide range of traits. While the article does not go into much detail nor has a central theme besides telling readers of good bookshops, the bookstores look credible after further research. While I have only been to one of the stores (Sundog Books in Seaside, which I love), I did research on the others and found four more bookshops to put on my bucket-list.        THE ALABAMA BOOKSMITH      While not very old, The Alabama Booksmith in Birmingham has a long history of literary predecessors. Even so, The Alabama Booksmith holds its own among its successful precursors considering it opened its doors in 1999. The shop makes it its mission to sell all signed copies.  "Every book in the store is now signed!" - The Alabama Booksmith, About Our Store.  Additiona...
