Hey everyone! It's looking like I need to stop promising that I'm going to return to blogging consistently—I think I'll plan instead on being hopelessly flaky and showing up every few weeks with some books to share. I'm doing all right—life is just hectic, and there's never enough time to read! But I have been on a little bit of a reading kick in the last week, and I've got a few books to share with y'all this week—let's dive in!

#IMWAYR: Picture Book Pandemonium, Part 18—#MGReadathon Edition (again!), plus a review of Cat's Café by Matt Tarpley

Hi everyone! Wow, do I have a lot of reviews for you today. First off, I have my second batch of reviews from participating in #MGReadathon —I reviewed 7 picture books last week , and I'm reviewing 7 more picture books this week (and leaving another 15 unreviewed, just because it was a lot  of books to read at once!). Interestingly, quite a few of today's books (the first, third, fourth, and sixth) are nonfiction! Also, I had some extra free time and crammed in a delightful graphic novel called Cat's Café , and because its unusual format meant I wouldn't be able to write a crazy-long review of it anyway, I figured I'd just tack it on to this post and talk about ALL THE BOOKS! So let's dive in! Picture Book Pandemonium! What book is it?   Stacey's Extraordinary Words , written by Stacey Abrams and illustrated by Kitt Thomas Add it on Goodreads  or preview the illustrations! Who recommended it?   Cheriee Weichel at Library Matters , Crystal Brunelle at Reading
