Exactly this. Thank you @shannonhale.bsky.social
If someone attacks a synagogue because they're angry at Israel, that is antisemitism. It doesn't matter the reason they're angry. Targeting a synagogue because they need to take out their anger on Jewish people--and any Jewish place of worship will do--is antisemitism.
So excited for this beauty.
@colbysharp.bsky.social @fuse8.bsky.social These folks are singing from your hymnal.
So many wonderful ideas in this article. Here’s my favorite: “And we really protect story time so every class gets to hear an adult reading on a daily basis.” And all it costs is time and the understanding of the power of reading aloud.
The second Last Resort book is by Jasmine Warga.
2026 is shaping up to be another great year for middle grade. Loved Lions Run and Chase and Finnegan. I’ll have to check out Scar Like a River.
Looking forward to seeing it!
Yes! So good. Looking forward to reading the second one in the series from Jasmine Warga.
My late millennial daughter read Perks of Being a Wallflower as assigned reading in high school in 2010. Now it is banned all over the country.
No. Kindergarteners have more class.
One of my favorite things about Libro.fm! I tell our customers all the time that this company is run by actual humans - and they are so nice and competent, too! It is so refreshing.
Absolutely loved it - beautifully crafted and such stellar characters. A winner for sure.
Congratulations!! So happy for you!
Exactly.
It's been years since I read it. I remember getting just so irritated at those boys and feeling like they needed some kick-ass girls to straighten their mess out. So I guess it felt far too realistic...
In Virginia, also. Oh Spring - she is a fickle one.
Such a beautiful book.
Unpopular opinion - I do not like The Lord of the Flies. At all.
Moron. Our country is being led by a corrupt moron.
The Emancipation Oak - a sprawling live oak in Hampton, VA where the Emancipation Proclamation was read.
@berondam.bsky.social Thank you for your wonderful book, When Trees Testify. It served as the impetus for a trip to Hampton University to see the glorious Emancipation Oak. It is a must-see for anyone in the Hampton Roads area.
Such a special book.
Yes! I loved A Rover’s Story. Chase and Finnegan is such a special book. Enjoy!
It is fantastic. I liked it more than Rover.
Beautiful - I can’t wait to read the whole story!
Deplorable
Already a barn burner and only in the second!

I miss this good man leading our nation.
So excited to watch Dusty Baker manage again.
