Just a boy and his book on publication dayβ¦ π Link to order is in my bio.
NOT LUCILLE by Mike Steele
Itβs 1931. Ten-year-old Lucyβs father has been out of work for months. Her motherβs running an underground gambling ring. And Lucy needs $7.98. But she canβt tell a soul whyβ¦
I learned NOT LUCILLE has been named a semi-finalist for the 2026 @BBNYA_OfficialβBook Bloggersβ Novel of the Year Award. Iβm honored and excited! Thanks to all the bloggers whoβve enjoyed the story so far, and congrats to the other semi-finalists.

The Sound of Music 1998 revival had the greatest scenic design of any Broadway musical in the history of Broadway and I will die on this hill. β€οΈ Thank you to Heidi Ettinger and Susan H. Schulman for giving us this masterpiece!
Iβd like to have a word with whoever at @panerabread decided the new cups and lids werenβt an abysmal idea.
I came home to a letter from the governor. A few weeks ago, I wrote to her about the importance of readers seeing themselves depicted in literature that includes authentic disability rep. Thank you, Gov. @MikieSherrill, for proclaiming April 19β25 as Disability Book Week in NJ!
I just watched a guy in a suit store try on an entire suitβjacket, pants, dress shirt, tie, shoes, socks, and even handkerchiefβand then pay for the suit while wearing it. He then said, βIβve got 20 minutes to get to the wedding.β He looked great, too!π€΅ββοΈ
