Readergrrl @LibrarianRyan Is it too late to sign up? We‘ve started a new block schedule at my school and I‘ve been overwhelmed this week. Now that things have settled down, I‘m seeing all the fun things I‘ve missed! 1y
Readergrrl If it is too late, no worries!! 1y
LibrarianRyan @Readergrrl you just caught me. If you would like, I can fit you in. It would mean I send to you and you send to the match I assigned myself.
1y
Readergrrl Entirely up to you. I‘d love to join, but I understand about deadlines! 1y
LibrarianRyan @Readergrrl No, I will add you. send me an email to MissRyanAF@gmail.com

I need - address, teeshirt size, shoe size, where to find wishlist, and level of halloween/spookieness is okay. I'll send you may match, but it means you will know you will be getting from me.

Hey all, tomorrow is #openingday for the #nightmaremakerswap. (Sunday the 23rd). If I have tagged you I have a question. Have you received your package?

@MaleficentBookDragon @Blerdgal_Fenix @Deblovestoread

If you posted it and I missed it, please forgive me. Can‘t wait to see everyone‘s packages.

Deblovestoread Yes, it is waiting for me when I get home tomorrow night. I commented on your check in post but I think it got lost in the shuffle 2y
LibrarianRyan @Deblovestoread thank. Now that you say that I remember it. I must not have put it in my list wrong. That‘s for replying. 2y
MaleficentBookDragon So sorry. Yes I did. 2y

4 ⭐ Jack Prelutsky is such a phenomenal children‘s poet; I find it hard to believe that he has been banned. This book and its sequel the Headless Horseman Rides Again have both been banned. Why? Because they are scary. And because a while ago a 7-year-old in Ohio had an upset stomach after reading these scary tales (I wish I were making that up). I loved this book. It does not need to be banned.

#bannedbook #BBRC

BookmarkTavern The art style reminds me of Edward Gorey a little bit! ❤️ 2y
mandarchy This is a classic! I have this in my library and I have many students who ask for the scary books. 2y
LibrarianRyan @ozma.of.oz yes it does!! 2y
LibrarianRyan @mandarchy I know I was so surprised to find it on the banned boook list. 2y

A seller I follow on Instagram had a vintage children's book sale and this was one of the books she was selling. I didn't claim it in time though. But I'm glad I didn't because I ended up finding it for a lot cheaper! 😎 Btw if you like poetry I read a poem everyday on my Instagram stories...😏 I even take recommendations! My username is the same as my litsy one! 😁

“On a hilltop bleak and bare
looms the castle of despair,
only phantoms linger there
within its dismal walls. ...
Tortured spirits whine and wail,
they grope and grasp, they wildly flail,
their hollow voices rasp and rail
beneath the moldering floors.” 🏚

My bedside book this month. It's fun reading one of the poems before bed. The illustrations are wonderfully creepy.
