Giveaways: An ABC Book of Loanwords from the Americas | Linda Boyden

I‘m thinking of doing a giveaway when I reach #5kLitfluence but I don‘t have any idea on how to go about it! Can someone give me some advice?

JoScho Just pick a hashtag that you can easily search and some people write down names and draw out of a hat. I made a list of everyone who entered my giveaway and numbered it then used a random number generator to select the winners. 6y

Literary_Siren @JoScho awesome! Thanks so much! 6y

JoScho Of course. Just make sure the hashtag is unique so you can make sure you don‘t miss anyone. 😊 6y

The Perfect Couple | Elin Hilderbrand

My family inspires me. My husband is a hard worker and wonderful husband and father. My kids work hard and strive to do well in every endeavor. They inspire me to set a good example for them. They also inspire us as parents to set a good example of what love looks like. #inspirationalgiveaway @LiterRohde - thanks for the chance to win in your cool giveaway!

Wild Things: The Joy of Reading Children�s Literature as an Adult | Bruce Handy

Thanks @LiterRohde for your #inspirationalgiveaway! I‘d love to own “Wild Things: The Joy of Reading Children‘s Literature as an Adult.”

I work in a Children‘s library & the most rewarding part of the job is inspiring a love of literature in kids. The best way to do that is to be passionate about the books they read - & I AM. Some of the most beautiful, lyrical, playful, heartbreaking & influential books I‘ve ever read have been children‘s books.

monalyisha I wish it were more commonplace for adults to continue reading children‘s books; it is, as the title of the tagged book suggests, an absolute joy. From delighting in detailed illustrations, to reminding yourself that magic & wonder exist, I truly believe that reading children‘s literature makes me a better, happier, more empathetic & aware human being. (edited) 6y

LiterRohde Agreed. Though my kids are more YA than children‘s books. My favorite is when I start talking to them about a book they are reading or about a book they might like. I get looks like “How does this old guy know about this?” Happens with music and movies too. Like when I do a lesson on figurative language using Lil Wayne. The looks are priceless. (edited) 6y

monalyisha @LiterRohde Ha! I know less about Li‘l Wayne & more about, say, pangolins, & slime. But I think we‘re coming from the same place. 🙌🏻 6y

Thanks @LiterRohde for the chance to win in your #InspirationalGiveaway. Congratulations on the milestone! 🎉
(continued in the comments...)

CoffeeNBooks My inspiration is the future generations. I continue to teach so I might be able to change lives and provide my students with the knowledge to be successful in whatever they choose to do. They inspire me to be a better teacher when they want to discuss books, analyze news articles, or just want to discuss things like how to pick what college to go to, how to stay out of debt, or how to buy a house. 6y

CoffeeNBooks For inspiration from my TBR list, any of the YA novels would relate to my students being my inspiration. I read Ya novels becuase: they're what my students are reading; I can recommend them to my students when they don't know what to read; it reminds me of the things that are going on in their lives and in their world, that the things they deal with are in many ways a lot different than the things I dealt with when I was their age 25 years ago. 6y

CoffeeNBooks Sorry for the really, really long post. I get like this when I talk about teaching. 😃 6y

SilversReviews Congrats on 10,000!! 6y

LiterRohde @CoffeeNBooks I totally understand that one! I actually have people shut down when I talk about issues surrounding my kids, their lives, and their education. I get so passionate they quit talking to me because they think I‘m angry or something when all it is that I really care. Thanks for the entry. 6y

CoffeeNBooks @LiterRohde Yep! At some point, I realize that whoever I'm talking to has that glazed-over look in their eyes and is no longer listening to my teaching stories. 🤣 6y

The Historian | Elizabeth Kostova

My mother and father were both children of alcoholics . They both went to college for a time and are very well educated people. They are also successful parents! They have raised 3 of 4 college graduates and 1 that went to college but decided motherhood was her calling. I was the first to graduate college with a history degree. Running out of space so ended up being a teacher because of my mom. @LiterRohde #InspirationalGiveaway

LiterRohde Thank you for your inspirational entry! “Can‘t choose your parents or your childhood, but you can choose your own direction.” From a poem called The Bottom Line, Author Unknown. 6y
