The meme of a woman and a man in bed, the wife turned toward the man in suspicion. For her, it says, "I bet he is thinking in other POVs right now." For him, it says "Her husband lay there deep in thought, unsure what to tell his wife."

The perennial temptation: The Bilbo Baggins meme where hes holding the ring and asking "why should't I keep it" but instead he's asking "why shouldn't I add another POV character?"

Lawsuit calls reading curriculum 'deceptive' and 'defective' A class-action lawsuit filed in Massachusetts claims that the educational publishing company Heinemann falsely advertised its products as β€œresearch-backed” and β€œdata-based.”

For those who have listened to the "Sold a Story" podcast by journalist Emily Hanford or read her work on reading curriculum, this is probably not a surprise.

Class-action lawsuit filed against a publisher for false claims about its reading curriculum.

I can't speak for other authors but I view this mostly as advertising to an audience that I might not otherwise be visible to, with a benefit to a charity I like, plus I'll get paid a bit. I was in the very first Humble Book Bundle ever and that did very well. This will do less, but still well.

The stupendous switcheroo is part graphic novel, part chapter book with illustrations and format changes that keep kids engaged.

We enjoyed it a lot but the cliffhanger is absolutely rough. Make sure to prep your kids that the story will continue.

The First Cat in Space and the Soup of Doom is an excellent followup to the First Cat in Space ate pizza. Your favorite characters are back and the writing and art is fun and engaging

And the jokes will make kids and adults laugh.

Tip: do voices.

Deep within Pittsburgh there is a #starwars phantom menace #Pepsi machine for those who know where to look.

A true relic of a bygone era.

As we approach #thanksgiving just wanted to note that female #turkeys will, in the absence of male turkeys, eventually produce a fertilized egg all on their own.

That fertilized egg, in turn, always produces a male.
