Zelenskyy has really raised the credibility of comedians, but also given the world a wildly misleading bar for what most of us are capable of.

When you're reading an early copy of a friend's book and you write to them midway because you can't wait to tell them how much you love it. THAT. @maisiechanwrites.bsky.social #KidLitUK #UKKidlit

Christmas in Japanese Literature Christmas originated as a Christian holiday, but it’s still celebrated in Japanβ€”a country where somewhere between one and two percent of the country is Christian. So maybe it isn’t surprising that …

A new booklist drops today!β€”Christmas in Japanese Literature. Almost two dozen translated books with notable Christmas-related scenes. Everything from cozy coffee books to bloody thrillers Γ  la Ryu Murakami.

Look for an upcoming episode on the subject in the next week or so.

Another β€˜best of’ list to completely disregard due to the lack of children’s or young adult books. Honestly, did they not learn from the savaging I gave their last list πŸ™„ vm.tiktok.com/ZGd2pB2fx/

Sorry! I should have specified I'm looking for non-fiction. But yes a worthwhile book for any library collection.

Does anyone have any book recommendations aimed at teens/young adults that deal with the topic of misogyny? Also some that are written for educators aimed at tackling the issues at the root of this epidemic we're seeing online.

Omg this is hilarious πŸ˜‚ Are they translated into other languages? I'd love to get this for my nephew but he's a German speaker.

1. The right not to read.

4. The right to read it again.
5. The right to read anything.
6. The right to mistake a book for real life.

8. The right to dip in.
9. The right to read out loud.
10. The right to be quiet.

If you want kids to love reading - LET THEM READ THINGS THEY LOVE! The books we love when we're young are the ones that make us readers, and choice is a right that every reader should have. Never take it away from them! #literacy #reading #kidlit #books

Agreed. It's entirely possible for someone to do something heroic but also be a shitty person.

I feel so out of practice with having to do that, that I am essentially starting from scratch as a school librarian and having to relearn and adapt to this new normal. If anyone has any advice, I would gladly welcome it.

I have spent a large chunk of my career to this point working in a school where I didn't need to convince kids to read. They were like tiny book addicts, devouring my collection. I moved to my current in 2022 & I have been struggling to figure out how to get my students engaged with books.

Yes, it often gives me pause and I'm not sure I fully take anyone seriously in education who calls themselves an expert. I say I'm experienced but that's as far as I'll go.

I stopped really using Twitter a while ago, & I grieved the loss of a community I built there. Now I'm ready to try to rebuild it 😊

I often wear mine to help me focus. They make things just that little bit quieter.
