CALLING ALL BOOKWORMS! I‘m putting together a semester long project for my 9th grade readers and I would love to share with them what the reading lives of readers looks like! I‘d love to hear how your engage with reading in your life, how reading is social for you, and/or why reading is important to you.
bookishkai First, reading has always been a part of my life so it‘s just always been important. It‘s my therapy, my primary entertainment, in some ways my addiction. A new book is a new adventure. As for social stuff, Litsy and a group for nannies who read on Facebook. And I love talking with other book lovers; I‘ve been known to hand-sell my faves while browsing in bookstores. 5y
Itchyfeetreader Great project. The way I read continues to evolve. In the winter reading is part of my daily bed time routine; I read every night before bed. Most days I will read when commuting between home and work although the return leg is when I catch up on the newspapers! I tend to read non fiction in physical form but are more open to kindle for fiction (I like looking at maps, footnotes etc). I also tend to have a fiction & non fiction on the go at once 5y
KeepCalmWithBooksAndCoffee This is great! Reading has been changing for me since I moved. My commute is less than 10 minutes now so I‘ve been finding new ways to fit in audiobooks. I always try and fit in some physical reading during the evening as well and I read during down time at work whenever I can. Socially I have a few friends IRL who I can talk books with but I also have a blog, goodreads, Twitter, YouTube and Litsy where I interact with people about books! 5y
Lcsmcat Besides the book club/Litsy social aspect of reading, keeping a list, on paper or electronically, of what I read is important to me, as is noting quotes that speak to me - either by underlining/highlighting or, more often, jotting them down. I also read reviews and note books I want to read “someday.” Those are things you could ask a class to do for a project that would be more measurable than having them join a book club. 5y
CouronneDhiver I‘ve always been a reader. With an IRL social circle who are mostly non-readers, my love of books has become a part of my “intelligent/nerd girl” identity. I‘ve left all other social media, but I love Litsy and BookTube because it provides validation and solidarity for that part of myself, I guess. 5y
