September will always, always feel like the beginning of school. Which I loved thinking about and preparing for—even though I dreaded seeing which of the known bullies might end up with my same teacher that year.

As you can probably tell from my books, I am not a fan of bullies. I understand now that they are weak and insecure, but they sure feel like they have all the power when they're spitting into your hair at recess or being mean to your friends. Maybe you're like me and can still remember every one of those bullies' names. Nice legacy, eh, [name redacted]? Although sometimes those names do show up in my books...

But on a more cheerful note, in true back-to-school style, I just ordered myself some colorful file folders and more pens, because I never want to be without fresh pens, and the temperatures are finally softening and it's fall!

Autumn is simply the best.

Cheers, friends! Let's go read and learn!
