There was a news story about this today, and I found it perplexing.

As one who was lucky to have storytime in my childhood, this makes me...sad? Worried.

As an adult, those early experiences with books adds to the coziness of reading as I unconsciously reminisce...

👇

Latest library checkouts…I‘m so behind! I have 4 stacks total (2 different libraries)😬🤓📚

Just got a Mail from BookFinity. Did I do a bookish quiz? Yes. Did I sign up for book recommendations? Also yes. Am I a rainbow woke? You bet.

This was the year of IEPs. As an Education Specialist for the RSP program, I conduct at least 40 IEPs in a school year. This year topped it off: 52 IEPs. And many of them were high profiles with lawyers. So yes, I am sooooo happy and thrilled to have held my last one today for the school year. 🙌
Bring on summer!

Thank you @Eggs for creating this fun play-card & for the tag 😉🌹💝.

1- “being kind“ and “always believing in the magic of hope“ are my starter points...and “becoming a garden parent.“ 🌞🪄🌱💝.

2- 😜🤩🦉.

3- garden critters...those silly rascals 😂😍💝💝💝.

I have tentative titles planned for some of the listed prompts but I‘m always hesitant to commit since I‘m such a mood reader. Just listing the challenge has really helped keep #bookspin low-key. @TheAromaofBooks

Thank you @Eggs for creating this fun play-card and Thank You @Deblovestoread for the tag 😘📚💝.

1- when my mom was a little girl, she had chosen the names Demetrius and Delilah for her future children. When she had my older brother, my dad wouldn't allow it. I always wondered how much power names truly had and how my personality might have changed if I had been given the name Delilah.

Thank You HaikuHive and all Littens for making everyday a “Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood“ of Litsy 📚💝.

Thank You @dabbe for #HaikuADay #HaikuHive 🐝🪄📜✍🏼💖.
