My husband is half Swedish, and in Sweden they celebrate name days ( definitely not the only country to do this 😉) and I‘m celebrating by having chips and wine with my reading time on a Tuesday. I‘ve spent 3 days in the same grade 5 classroom and I have never been so ‘childsplained‘ to in my life #treatmyself

TheBookHippie Just NO to GRADE 5 😵‍💫 #OYTOTHEVEY 2w
mcctrish @TheBookHippie they are a weird cauldron of being old enough to advocate for themselves but too young to see beyond themselves 2w
Tamra 😆 when do they grow out of it? Asking for a friend. 2w

TheBookHippie @mcctrish I cannot 😵‍💫 2w
TheBookHippie @Tamra Usually end of seventh grade. … in my experience. I only do K4-2 nd and 9-12 th 🤭 This year I have 5 fourth graders but thankfully it‘s going okay. (edited) 2w
TheKidUpstairs ? My eldest is in Grade 5. He LOVES the word "actually" ? And my new name is "Bruh" 2w
Tamra @TheBookHippie well, I‘ve got two that defy the odds! 😜😜 The 16 year old is the worst at teensplain! 2w
TheBookHippie @Tamra my daughter OY 2,3,8,10,12,14,17,19,22,25,27 🤭😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 but she wasn‘t here in my house after college 🤣😅 2w
TheBookHippie @TheKidUpstairs 🤭🤭🤭🤭 my grandson called me that by accident. He‘s 10. 2w
Tamra @TheBookHippie 🤣🤣 2w
TheBookHippie @Tamra she had a child and then called crying “Mom I AM SO SORRRRRRY “ 🤣😂 nothing like being a parent to yourself. 😳 2w
mcctrish @Tamra eventually they grow into seeing beyond themselves ( grade 8-9) - the advocating is new, imo, and it has so many pluses but it‘s not often used for good 2w
mcctrish @TheBookHippie grade 4 is still okay here, second half of grade 6 used to be when it went to hell, now it‘s grade 5 so I guess grade 4 is next 🤦🏻‍♀️ 2w
Tamra @TheBookHippie bahahaha if I live long enough. 2w
Tamra @mcctrish 😅 so true! 2w
TheBookHippie @mcctrish half way through 4th it starts here 😵‍💫 2w

One of the books challenged in my school district as inappropriate for the high school library due to sexual content 🙄🙄

Eggs Enjoyed this one 🐶💙☔️ 1mo
lil1inblue Seriously??? They'll ban anything these days. 😓 1mo
TheBookgeekFrau @lil1inblue I kid you not. The claim is that it contains sexual content that doesn't contribute to the story. I'm pretty sure the parents challenging this believe their kids still think babies are brought by storks. 1mo

BarkingMadRead @SamAnne for real! Ugh! 😩 3mo
IndoorDame I totally skimmed that “poem” too 😂😂😂 and I only figured out what it actually said when I got to Alyosha‘s summary 3mo
currentlyreadinginCO Absolutely 😂😂 @IndoorDame 3mo
mcctrish Absolute bullshit! Ivan will not be invited to the Tortured Poets Society after that fail! Also Fyodor needs to keep his chapters shorter, that is too much blah 3mo
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish so much blah! 3mo
Bookwormjillk Totally skimmed it too. When I saw it was a 28 minute read I almost fell out of my chair. 3mo
Bookwormjillk The only good parts were when A interrupted to tell him his poem didn‘t make sense 3mo
Librarybelle I feel like I need a quick education on what was happening in Russia at this time. There is so much deep thought on some really heavy issues - I know it‘s a commentary on contemporary happenings, but me as a 21st century reader, and a non-Russian reader, is a little in the dark. I can only imagine how Crime and Punishment compares! 3mo
daena “Alyosha, who had listened to him all this time without saying anything, though towards the end, in a state of extreme agitation“. All I could think was same bro, same. #readtheroomivan (edited) 3mo
dabbe Me during this chapter: 😳 ... 😳 ... trying to read ... 😤 ... 😩 ... 😰 ... 🥱 ... 💤 ... wake up ... skim the mother-f---er ... 😎. In tomorrow's chapter, Ivan says this: “For so many years I was silent with the whole world and did not deign to speak, and suddenly I spewed out so much gibberish!“

Thanks, Ivan. Could you have said that BEFORE you started speaking in the last chapter? As @TheBookHippie would say, #oytothevey!
3mo
Cuilin So glad it wasn‘t written in verse, prose was bad enough!!!!! 😩 3mo
TheAromaofBooks I used to think I was bad at writing poetry... then I met Ivan 😂 3mo
Ruthiella Guys, according to my sources, this is the CRUX of the novel, the jewel in the crown, it‘s raison d‘etre…😂 3mo
currentlyreadinginCO This is the first chapter I've seen in my used edition that was heavily marked up from the previous owner! I wondered if they were reading this for school and if this may have been one of the most important chapters, and then I thought about doing some research, but then I got pulled into my actual job and forgot ... @Ruthiella 3mo
BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella I saw that! I must be broken 🤣 it made me want to commit crimes against myself 🤣 3mo
KAO I had been looking forward to this chapter, because I remember (from somewhere) that this was the most famous segment. So I really gave it my full attention—but I found it disappointing. Deep, but honestly not up to the hype, in my opinion. Can it be that I am suffering from a short attention span?? Maybe. 3mo

Mehso-so

A true story, written by the victim of a con artist. Unfortunately, the con artist and the victim were both a hot mess. I really wanted to like the victim/author, but as I turned the pages, I liked her less and less. She made so many naive, poor decisions, I found it almost hard to believe.

But, reading it with the #SundayBuddyRead crew was, as always, lots of fun! Thanks, @TheBookHippie for shepherding us through all the #OyToTheVey moments!
