@FReadomFighters When we were homeschooling, my mom would read classics to us after lunch every day. My dad would read to us on Sundays. We begged him to "use voices." Many times he would fall asleep in the middle of a story, and we'd poke him to turn the page and finish. 😆

@TheEmmaDoodle Totally get it. The peeps at the zine booth at the ALA conference pronounced it "zeen." I suppose if they're going to make it their life's work, I'll roll with their pronunciation.

[Stephanie Jensen @Sjensen0514]

@TheEmmaDoodle Oops, I voted incorrectly. I think it's "zeen" as in magaZINE.

[Stephanie Jensen @Sjensen0514]

@chadharper91 That would be fantastic!

I get to attend #alaac22!! My 1st convention and my 1st trip to DC - I'm so pumped and terrified! Who else is going and can we be friends?

I want to start Studio Ghibli Mondays. We'd watch one movie each week, starting May 31 at 7:00 pm. Anyone want to join?

We'd start with Nausicaä and work through the list chronologically.

[Stephanie Jensen @Sjensen0514]

@doucette515 I would love to see the list! Your book recs always look so intriguing.

👏👏👏

@samstephens91 Ooo, why Neverwhere? Not many in my circles know of the book or author, so I'm curious.

[Stephanie Jensen @Sjensen0514]

@TheEmmaDoodle I'm only a college friend, but I would love to hear from you!

Reading friends, I'm looking to replace the novel studies in my classes. What's a good book to read with freshmen?

Caveat: conservative school with high ELL population

Culture shock of the day: did you know that some countries in Europe and Asia have privately owned roads? Like a private company builds and maintains them, and you have to pay to use them. My American mind was blown.

Today I've been thinking a lot about descriptions.

It might feel straightforward to describe something briefly- like "The house looked creepy." Or "Her face was sad." #ammteasers

@TheEmmaDoodle @theandrewkclark Gasp! This is during my prep period!! I can support you live!!

I have an unhealthy relationship with my email, and it's stressing me out. How do y'all deal with answering email? Do you have it on your phone? Do you set aside specific time to check it? Do you ever check it outside that time?

[Stephanie Jensen @Sjensen0514]

@TheEmmaDoodle You are in good company. Writing and reading poetry can be cathartic. Love you, friend!

[Stephanie Jensen @Sjensen0514]

@samstephens91 May I have one, please?
