About Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Club: Roll Call

Middle school is a dungeon… At least, that’s how Jess sees it. Luckily, she and her best friend Olivia know how to escape into the sprawling worlds of their own imaginations. The two friends have always loved making up stories, first with little kid games of make-believe, and more recently with the fantasy roleplaying game, Dungeons & Dragons. When they play, Olivia runs the game as Dungeon Master and Jess is the solo party member, playing a take-no-prisoners, lone-wolf fighter of her own design named Sir Corius. But when Olivia wants to add new players to their group, Jess finds herself struggling to share their game—and her best friend. Will their epic campaign withstand all this change, or has their adventure—and their friendship—finally come to an end?

When Post opens up to the public, I'm going to be posting less on my Facebook Page and more on Post (https://post.news/debbieohi). This short video helps explain why. More and more, I've been finding FB a stressful place...and a large part of this is the user interface, which I find chaotic, a pain to navigate, with sooooo many distracting visual elements and competing menu items.

NOTE: I will still be on Twitter (https://twitter.com/inkyelbows) because I still find it the best way to connect with educator and librarian friends and on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/inkygirl/ and my Bookstagram at https://www.instagram.com/inkyelbows/).

As I mentioned before, creating and interacting with others on Post reminds me of the early days of blogging, esp Livejournal (but with improved user interface design 😁). It's still in beta and there are features still missing, but they've already added global hashtags, @ mentions and tipping via Points (each new acct comes with 50 Points, but you can purchase more if you want). Tipping is optional. As a creator, you have the option of setting up a paywall...for even as little as couple of cents a view. I do not plan to set up a paywall and was surprised when people starting tipping me anyway! I'm donating any tips I make between now and the end of the year to First Book Canada.

And if/when you DO start using Post, I'd love to connect with you over there! You can find me at https://post.news/debbieohi

ABOUT LITTLE BLACK GIRL

You have sparks in your brain and fire in your heart.
You can decide where to stop and where to start.
You were born unique. None of us are the same.
Your only job: Make them remember your name.

An empowering and joyous picture book by actress Kirby Howell-Baptiste (The Sandman) that instills confidence and encourages little Black girls to reach for their wildest dreams.

Illustrated by the talented Paul Davey, this inspiring picture book celebrates all little Black girls, the power of community, and the joy and hope of being a child.

In beautiful, lyrical text actress Kirby Howell-Baptiste tells the story of one Black girl and her limitless potential as she pursues her dream of robotics. Determined to have her robot ready for the school fair, getting everything done in time won’t be easy, but this little Black girl knows she is destined to shine and is not going to let anything hold her back from achieving her dream. With bright, bold plans in mind she begins to sketch and build her robot. The joy she has pursuing her passion is infectious and she has a community of strong women around her, encouraging and supporting her as she lives out her dream.

ABOUT LITTLE BLACK BOY

Little Black Boy, Oh the things you will do.
Has anyone mentioned the world’s open to you?

A little Black boy finds the courage to go after his dreams in this empowering and inspirational picture book by actress Kirby Howell-Baptiste (The Sandman) with actor Larry Fields.

With vivid, dimensional illustrations by Paul Davey, this encouraging and hopeful picture book celebrates the joy of being a little Black boy and their bright futures.

Fascinated by marine wildlife, a little Black boy dreams of one day swimming in the ocean alongside all the creatures that make it their home. It will take courage to move from the safety of the swimming pool to the vastness of the ocean, but as he begins his journey of discovery, he soon finds there’s nothing he can’t do. He realizes if he cares about the animals in the ocean, he must also care about their home and sets out to preserve the beaches he loves by picking up trash. This little boy is determined not only to reach his dream of becoming a marine biologist, but to make a difference in the world and to share his passion of environmental conservation with everyone.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the publication of Summer of the Mariposas! Author Guadalupe García McCall reflects on the publication of the book and her writing journey in the past ten years.

#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Selection series Kiera Cass is back with her most epic novel yet—a sweeping enemies-to-lovers standalone romance.

“Love has a sound. It sounds like a thousand heartbeats happening at the same time.”

Princess Annika has lived a life of comfort—but no amount of luxuries can change the fact that her life isn’t her own to control. The king, once her loving father, has gone cold, and Annika will soon be forced into a loveless marriage for political gain.

Miles away, small comforts are few and far between for Lennox. He has devoted his life to the Dahrainian army, hoping to one day help them reclaim the throne that was stolen from them. For Lennox, the idea of love is merely a distraction—nothing will stand in the way of fighting for his people.

But when love, against all odds, finds them both, they are bound by its call. They can’t possibly be together—but the irresistible thrum of a thousand heartbeats won’t let them stay apart. 
Kiera Cass brings her signature sparkling romance to this beautiful story of star-crossed lovers and long-held secrets.

A critical hit! Adventure awaits with this all-new Dungeons & Dragons original graphic novel series from Molly Knox Ostertag and Xanthe Bouma. Here’s a sneak peek of the story.

Subscribe to Shelf Stuff! - https://goo.gl/TkzXiD

About Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Club: Roll Call:

Middle school is a dungeon… At least, that’s how Jess sees it. Luckily, she and her best friend Olivia know how to escape into the sprawling worlds of their own imaginations. The two friends have always loved making up stories, first with little kid games of make-believe, and more recently with the fantasy roleplaying game, Dungeons & Dragons. When they play, Olivia runs the game as Dungeon Master and Jess is the solo party member, playing a take-no-prisoners, lone-wolf fighter of her own design named Sir Corius. But when Olivia wants to add new players to their group, Jess finds herself struggling to share their game—and her best friend. Will their epic campaign withstand all this change, or has their adventure—and their friendship—finally come to an end?

Nine Liars author Maureen Johnson has a few secrets she’d like to share about Stevie Bell’s love life and a double-murder cold case! Stevie Bell solved the case of Truly Devious, and now she’s taking her detecting skills abroad when she becomes embroiled in a mystery from 1990s England. Another pulse-pounding and laugh-out-loud stand-alone mystery from New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson.

About: Nine Liars
Senior year at Ellingham Academy for Stevie Bell isn’t going well. Her boyfriend, David, is studying in London. Her friends are obsessed with college applications. With the cold case of the century solved, Stevie is adrift. There is nothing to distract her from the questions pinging around her brain—questions about college, love, and life in general. Relief comes when David invites Stevie and her friends to join him for study abroad, and his new friend Izzy introduces her to a double-murder cold case. In 1995, nine friends from Cambridge University went to a country house and played a drunken game of hide-and-seek. Two were found in the woodshed the next day, murdered with an ax. The case was assumed to be a burglary gone wrong, but one of the remaining seven saw something she can’t explain. This was no break-in. Someone’s lying about what happened in the woodshed. Seven suspects. Two murders. One killer still playing a deadly game.

ABOUT YUVAL NOAH HARARI
Professor Yuval Noah Harari is a historian, philosopher, and the bestselling author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, which have sold over 20 million copies worldwide, and been translated in 50 languages. Born in Haifa, Israel in 1976, Harari received his Ph.D. from the University of Oxford in 2002, and is currently a lecturer at the Department of History, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Harari originally specialized in world history, medieval history, and military history. His current research focuses on macro-historical questions such as: What is the relationship between history and biology? What is the essential difference between Homo sapiens and other animals? Is there justice in history? Does history have a direction? Did people become happier as history unfolded? What ethical questions do science and technology raise in the 21st century?

In 2018 Harari gave a keynote speech on the future of humanity on the Congress Hall stage of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos. Three months later, he presented the first ever TED talk delivered as a digital avatar. Over the last couple of years Harari has met with President Emmanuel Macron of France, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, President Mauricio Macri of Argentina, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier of Germany, and Mayor Ying Yong of Shanghai. In 2019 Harari sat down for public conversations with Chancellor Sebastian Kurz of Austria (on the future of Europe) and with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg (on society and the future of artificial intelligence).

Harari lectures around the world on the topics explored in his books and articles and has written for publications such as The Guardian, Financial Times, New York Times, The Times, The Economist, and Nature magazine. He also offers his knowledge and time to various organizations and audiences on a voluntary basis.

ABOUT EVERYBODY FEELS FEAR

This charming book teaches little ones that we all get scared every now and again, and that’s okay! Help children talk about, relate to, and laugh about their own fears through quirky text and bright illustrations that make this topic lighthearted.

Children aged 3-6 can be inspired by the message of Everybody feels fear and grow their self-esteem to become more confident. It shows kids that being brave is not about never feeling fear, but about being able to move forward through the fear.

This positive picture book for 3-6 year olds:

– Covers key topics such as self-esteem, acceptance, empathy, and caring
– Has a unique and imaginative illustration style full of fun and personality
– Uses quirky storytelling to address issues around self-esteem for kids, encouraging them to not worry and stay happy
– Teaches that feeling fear is not something to be ashamed of and helps kids push through the fear barrier

Inspire children with this confidence book, making them aware that everyone feels afraid at least some of the time!

This funny and lovely book tells the positive message that we are all in this together, no matter what, whoever we are, and wherever we are. Adults, as well as kids, can take something valuable away from this insightful story.
