Gmorning, Gnight: Little pep talks for me & you
by Lin-Manuel Miranda and illustrated by Jonny Sun For you, holding this reads the dedication of these 200 pages affirming the goodness of the world and the wonder of each of us. Like its author, the book is sweet. (I’m sure the man has his moments, but in every public appearance I’ve seen only the sweet guy.) It’s a collection of his Twitter greetings, published in book form in 2018 (not a Twitter person, so I missed them). Some are rhymed, some are not. Some night tweets are nearly the same as the morning tweets. I read the whole thing in a few hours, which is not the point, I know. This would be a good book to have on your nightstand for opening and closing thoughts for the day. It would also make a good gift. The heavy pen-and-ink line drawings are charming, too, most often simple, but sometimes very complex.

What I’m ReadingI began working in libraries as a seventh grader, courtesy of scoliosis. My orthopedic surgeon wrote me a pass to miss gym class, so I began working in the school library to feed my love of reading. Even after my surgery to correct the curvature, I kept getting out of gym to work in my high school library and then in my college library (for pay, at last!).
So began my eventual career as a college reference librarian—after a detour into teaching high school English. Later I worked for an educational publisher before going back to libraries.
I have a reading and writing life now. I devour both fiction and nonfiction, and will tell you about some of my favorite reads, both old friends and new discoveries.
Here's some library-themed music to get you in the mood.
