@vogler3024 @SHKrajewski @kayla_briseno @KathrineSulli14 Blessed to be a part of this group of Notebook Nerds!!

@RantingOwl I just discovered Dear Medusa. I’m not sure I’ll ever be the same. Thank you!

[Amy Watkins @Watkins_Reads]

@joseph_ossai Just felt compelled to send you love. Know you are so much more than any mistake.

[A.S. King ☂️ Updates Only @AS_King]

You guys. I just listened to the Attack of the Black Rectangles audiobook and—It. Is. Phenomenal. @ThePeteCross read Mac the way I hear him in my head. And @JaneYolen’s cameo had me bawling.
@Scholastic Audio knocked it out of the park. #audiobook #freadom

@susangbarber I love having the chance to make the lesson better. With singletons, they still have to put up with me working out the lesson, but I don’t get a chance to improve it.

[Amy Watkins @Watkins_Reads]

@ksluiter @ncte I really wanted to go and made making the money for travel, lodging, and the registration serving tables this summer. I hope to room with someone who is also going. I decided it’s my self care.

@Jarrett_Lerner Congratulations! I had the same feeling about being a Boy Mom- and now I have 3. :)

#IREL22 Update

[Amy Watkins @Watkins_Reads]

@Jarrett_Lerner I lost about $26k to switch to a district that is a much healthier situation last year, so I donned an apron and am waitressing part time this summer. It’s really wrong how the pay system locks us in to districts or penalizes us for leaving.

Haven’t been following closely, but Im shaking my head so much at this week’s targeting of Jason Reynolds. Have you ever heard that man speak?! Read his work?! He has literally put his entire being into the service of young readers and you all were still so ready to come for him.

[Amy Watkins @Watkins_Reads]

⁦This just came! @JasonReynolds83⁩ and ⁦@jasoneatspaint⁩, thank you! It’s going to take me a lot of reads to truly appreciate the art and worlds here! I love seeing how your style has changed. You are both truly artists!!

@KatieWoodRay @lester_laminack Found this gem at a book sale yesterday!

[Amy Watkins @Watkins_Reads]

⁦Thank you Tom Wilson ⁦@Meemic⁩ for the $10 to buy books ⁦@BookstockMI⁩ ⁦@LaurelParkPlace⁩ yesterday!

@JasonReynolds83 showing us how reading like a wolf eats makes life rich! How Jason Reynolds Distinguishes Y.A. Books From Adult Fiction https://t.co/th5sWFnNMU

[Amy Watkins @Watkins_Reads]

@JasonReynolds83 While promoting the beautiful Ain’t Burned All the Bright, would you mind talking about your theory of resonant frequency in a published interview so I can share it with my kids? My summary version just ain’t cutting it; the NWP talk was not public. #perforated

[Amy Watkins @Watkins_Reads]

@BrandeeJMorris @pennykittle @LindaMRief My husband got me a Christmas ornament with “Best Conference Goer” because I live like it is my job to attend these great sessions. :) They are so sustaining. I come away reinvigorated…

[Amy Watkins @Watkins_Reads]

@JasonReynolds83 After revisiting the Spark, Stretch, Truth talk you gave for @writingproject: maybe it’s the resonant frequency of Wordle that’s so appealing. Once a day all of our brains are working to find the same word, and in our epiphanies we chime together. #resonantfrequency

[Amy Watkins @Watkins_Reads]

@JasonReynolds83 I am surprised by how much I look forward to playing it each day and seeing how others solve it. Words bring people together! :)
