What’s your favorite rivalry (sports, fictional, or otherwise)?
I like the MLS Dallas-Houston rivalry mostly because of the cannon they use as a trophy. Whoever wins the series each year gets a working 18th-century cannon for the next year, and it’s kinda awesome when they fire it off before FC Dallas home games. The “come and take it” flags are fun to have at the games too (if you’re not familiar with Texas history, it’s a famous flag from the first battle of the Texas Revolution featuring a cannon and the words “come and take it”).

This sci-fi series, The Sylo Chronicles, has been a big hit in Y6 this year. It’s been around for a while but new to our library. Full disclosure- I haven’t read them but the kids are raving. ⠀⠀ #kidslit #childrensbooks #childrensbookstagram #bookstagram #instabook #lovetoread #reading #schoollibrary #bestjobever #librarian #schoollibrarian #kidslibrarian #librariansofinstagram #mglit #middlegradebooks #middlegradefiction #sciencefictionforkids #djmachale #sylochronicles #ipreview via @preview.app
What’s a series you haven’t finished, and why haven’t you finished it yet?
I haven’t finished the Sylo Chronicles because I got kind of annoyed with Tucker. He didn’t go off the deep end or anything, but he did start acting rather childish. I made it through Sylo and Storm, and I really liked Sylo. But Storm was when Tucker started to annoy me, and I just haven’t bothered to pick up Strike. There are plenty of other things on my shelf that still need reading and that I’d rather be reading.

Where are you from?
I was born and raised in the great state of Texas. Neither of my parents are from here, so I just barely have an accent. I didn't even realize I had one until I heard somebody speak with a really thick one, and it sort of dawned on me that I talk like that.
.
Anyway, I ask because without their covers the Sylo Chronicles look rather patriotic, which is kinda ironic. I would explain why, but then I'd give away the whole plot. These books are an intense read, and the only thing I didn't like about them was in the second book, the protagonist got a little whiny for my taste, but he redeemed himself. If you haven't read them, check them out.

And, finally, the amazing @kaylireads tagged me to do the #TheTBRBooktag
Most anticipated: the Dire King (two more weeks until it comes out!)
Been there too long: the Warrior (we're talking years here)
New to you: Stalking Jack the Ripper (on the long list of books I need to buy and then read)
Bought/Received: Frozen and Forged (still waiting for them to arrive though)
Need to read: the rest of the Beautiful Creatures series (I'm almost done with Beautiful Creatures, and it's so good!)

Sorry if you've already been tagged, and if you weren't tagged but you wanna do it, feel free to!
