LITTENS! I NEED YOUR HELP!

I am a teacher and I am working on a reading challenge for our high schoolers. The theme is “Book vs. Movie”, and each student will need to read 5 books from a preset list and then watch their corresponding film.

🔺 Will you tell me your favorite books that have been adapted into films??

I have a list going, but would love more suggestions. Thank you so much!!!

“Death by stinging nettles!”

Eddie is carrying me through packing today. His extra footnotes and asides are totally making this. If you‘re a fan of Eddie‘s roving, rambling style and his snappy historical knowledge, I absolutely recommend this, and I‘m only 45 minutes in.

WHO‘S WITH ME???

Happy 4th, America! This is how I‘m spending my afternoon before we head to the BBQ for too much food and fireworks.

What are you reading this #IndependenceDay??

Bossy socks!
I couldn‘t pass these up, and now I only want to buy book-related socks for the rest of my life.

I honestly had no clue what to expect of this book, but my audiobook hold became available before the ebook, and I am FLYING through it! The setting and cultures are wholly new to me and it‘s incredibly fun. I‘m almost finished and I‘ll definitely be continuing the series. 🎊

“He liked straight lines and clear decisions. That was why he had always liked mathematics. There were right or wrong answers there. Not like the other hippie subjects they tried to trick you into doing at school, where you could ‘argue your case‘.”

I am loving this so far! It‘s our current book club pick and I already can‘t wait to discuss it at our meeting.

I‘ve loved going back through this great classic series!

I haven‘t read them since I was a kid and am trying out the audiobook for this one. It‘s great so far!

Since I‘m a purist, and my childhood boxed set had them in the order Lewis WROTE them, as opposed to the story order, this is technically Book 2 for me. I‘ve found I really enjoy “rereading” books via audiobook (i.e., Harry Potter) since I‘m already familiar with the story. Anyone else??

Gearing up for summer reading like....
Speaking of, I‘ve been on a MAJOR YA kick lately. I‘d love to hear your “Must Reads” for that category! 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽I tend to crave this genre as the weather gets warmer for some reason. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyone else have seasonal reading tendencies??

“When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind.”

Re-reading this gem for book club and I‘ve already fallen back in love with this story. I hope this becomes required middle school reading, someday. 💕

#wonder #choosekind

Can I ask for advice?? I have kindle ebook credit and I cannot make a decision of how to spend it for the life of me! What‘s your favorite book you‘ve read lately? I‘d love to hear about it! #recommendsday

straight SAVAGE, Sylvia 😯😂

“It sounded true, and I recognized it, the way you recognize some nondescript person that‘s been hanging around your door for ages and then suddenly comes up and introduces himself as your real father and looks exactly like you, so you know he really is your father, and the person you thought all your life was your father is a sham.”

Caught in my natural habitat... has anyone seen this beautiful centennial edition of ‘Dubliners‘? The cover is so lovely, I couldn‘t pass it up. This will be my first Joyce read as well. ☺️

All of my current reads together... that‘s not too many to be reading at once, right??? 🤷🏻‍♀️

#YA #truecrime #classics

I did it! I officially joined a #RoryGilmore Reading Challenge group. Completing her list has always been in my literary dreams and now we‘ve started a #BookClub for it! Our first pick is The Bell Jar and we start March 1st! This is, of course, open to ANY others interested, so if you‘re down, comment and I can get you a link to the group. #Literati, unite! ✊🏼

Any other #Littens doing this challenge? I figured it‘s a great excuse to get reading on my #Kindle! I‘m not sure if sign up is still open, but any other Kindle lovers should take advantage 🙌🏽

My ideal weekend. Maybe add a mug of something hot, or a glass of something red, and I‘m a happy clam. All in favor, holler, “Aye!” 🙋🏻‍♀️

That face when you finally traded out your broken Kindle and the new one is on its way!!!!

Finally starting this today after hearing SUCH good things. Who else out there loves this one?? ☝️ #cantwait #tbr

"Wounds heal. Love lasts. We remain."

WOW. This book. Drama and family and love and war. This one has it all. If you love WWII stories, add this one to your list, because it won't disappoint.

Bank holidays are for reading, right?? This is a book club read for me and I'm loving it so far. Seems like we'll have plenty to discuss when we meet! Any other #bookclub members out there? What have been your favorite reads? Or even your most debated ones?

We can just count this as a slightly early #recommendsday, right? I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and burned (ha!) through them quicker than I anticipated. My one mistake was the fact that the fourth book isn't even out, so now I have to wait like everyone else to finish the story! YA fans will definitely enjoy this one, IMO
👑❤️

I'm already charmed by the illustrations in this book! Has anyone else read this? I have a feeling it'll be a quick and sweet read ☺️

Well that was fun! 🕹⚔️🔐

When your family knows you well and buys you a 3 volume antique set of Les Mis. 😍 The covers are a bit worse for the wear, but I love them so. 💓

Starting my Litsy life with this one! Other than hearing great things, I try my best to be a "READ THE BOOK BEFORE THE MOVIE" person, so I won't be watching the trailer until then! ? Do you feel the same way or do you like to read a book after you've seen the movie?
