Thanks so much to @howusefulitis for posting about Thanks so much to @howusefulitis for posting about Wrecked! Feel better soon!! Repost from @howusefulitis • Good evening everyone! Hope you all are doing well. I'm feeling a little sick. Major sore throat. Definitely hurt to swallow. I took some medications today and sat for approx 20 minutes under the cover of hot steam. Hopefully it will go away. I'm currently reading The Language of Seabirds written by #willtaylor @inkandhive which will be published tomorrow by @scholasticinc 🌸 It's a cute read following Jeremy, 12 going on 13 in another 6 months. He just met a guy similar age as him who loved to run. He pretended he loved to run too so that he could've more time with Evan to get to know him. Just too bad he threw up after running nearly two miles with Evan on their first outing together 🤣 I'm not a runner so I know the difficulty 😂 Jeremy and his dad are at the beach so he's learning many different names of seabirds. I'm currently on chapter 8. I'm looking forward to see what happens next 💝 I'm excited to read Wrecked written by #heatherhenson @hensonbooks which was published by @simonkids Lightfall written and illustrated by #timprobert @timprobert which was published by @harperalley and The Charmed List written by #julieabe @julieabebooks which will be published on 7/5/22 by @wednesdaybooks 😍 #howusefulitis

I can’t believe I didn’t get any pics of Eliza I can’t believe I didn’t get any pics of Elizabeth and me doing the actual reading/sound thing last night, but it was just so much fun!!! Thank you from the deepest of deeps to all who came out. Your response, your questions, your enthusiasm was just so energizing! Elizabeth and I definitely want to explore how to take this show on the road! Libraries, schools, conferences. Ideas and contact info are all welcome! Oh, and as always many thanks to Kate @plaidelephantbooksky for lugging my books!!! #supportlocal #wreckedwordsandsound #wreckedthenovel #soundscapes #coolstuff #plaidelephantbooksky

Getting ready for my reading and sound event at 6 Getting ready for my reading and sound event at 6 pm tonight @boylecopubliclibrary and @boylepublibteens. In my new YA novel, Wrecked, one of the three main characters is into creating something called a soundscape, and so both sound and *truly* listening become major themes of the book. I partnered with multi media artist Elizabeth Haigh, who basically created a soundtrack to go with my reading. Cool, right?? Afterwards I’ll talk about my process and so will Elizabeth. There will be Q&A, snacks, and books for sale from @plaidelephantbooksky. You or your kid can then learn how to make your own quick and easy soundscape if you choose!! No pressure!! Please join us! 6 pm at The Boyle County Public Library. #boylecountypubliclibrary #plaidelephantbooksky #wreckedthenovel #heatherhensonbooks #simonteen #yalit #yabooks #caitlyndlouhybooks #kysounds #kyauthors #kylit 📚🎶🎧❤️
