Top Blog Post: I went to the Scholastic Book Warehouse sale yesterday. If you’ve never been to the book warehouse and are a book lover, you should go. It’s literally a warehouse full of books. Shelves from the floor to tall enough that I have to stand on my tiptoes to reach the highest one. (And yes, I know that’s not that high. But still.) You can find everything from board books for the youngest reader to kid’s picture books to young adult lit to adult best sellers. With some pencils and posters and bookmarks thrown in for good measure. And right now almost everything is 50-80% off/ A Butterfly Moment . More here.
