Living my dream as a teacher. Actual for real author. If you like Emma, you might like Lady Be Good: Like Gatsby?

Me trying to use current slang with my students:

[Amber Brock @ambrockwrites]

Oh, my heart. Two legends who kicked off my obsession with film (three, if you count Spielberg). May they reap their rewards.

[Author James Fuller @AuthorJFuller]

This one stings a little.

[Amber Brock @ambrockwrites]

To be real: when I started reading these, there were only three.

[Amber Brock @ambrockwrites]

Has anyone tracked the American Girl Dolls books to historical novel author pipeline?

[Hub City Press @HubCityPress]

Well, looks like THAT book is #1 on Amazon today. Instead of THAT one, we not so gently suggest picking up these titles from your indie bookshop. We want to reaffirm that the most inclusive, challenging literature in the South can be found from independent & university presses.

@SalisburyCath One of my favorites--me with some of my students enjoying the view. Visiting on a school tour from Atlanta, Georgia USA.

@DirtySpaceNews We do not

[Amber Brock @ambrockwrites]

Rewatching The Secret Life of Walter Mitty for the umpteenth time, knowing in my heart that I would pay a million dollars to have a Cinnabon with @pattonoswalt

@neilhimself My beloved student Annie Reid has a birthday this week, and no present would top a birthday wish from you. She's obsessed with The Graveyard Book and Good Omens. Will you please make me cool in her eyes?

[Amber Brock @ambrockwrites]

@michaelsheen Can I please get a birthday wish for my amazing student Annie Reid? She loves you so much she's learning Welsh! Diolch!

[Amber Brock @ambrockwrites]

Also really hilarious that I’m supposed to be repulsed by Paul Rudd’s Paris

[Amber Brock @ambrockwrites]

The great injustice of Baz Lurhmann’s Romeo + Juliet is that the hottest man (Tybalt) kills the equally hottest man (Mercutio)

[Amber Brock @ambrockwrites]

I don’t know how hot they were in the original Shakespeare, but I imagine it’s equally offensive

@neilhimself My wonderful student Annie Reid wrote her college essay about the impact your work had on her. She even went to see you in NYC to read A Christmas Carol. I'll be the coolest person she ever met if you'd say Happy Birthday to her--she's turning 18!

[Amber Brock @ambrockwrites]

@michaelsheen My beloved student Annie Reid is one of your biggest fans. You've inspired her to learn Welsh! Her birthday is coming up in April, and she would love nothing more than a greeting from you. Diolch yn fawr!

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

happy Good Friday to all who observe

[Amber Brock @ambrockwrites]

There are times in life when the only course of action is to watch Troop Beverly Hills. This is one of those times.

I think many who don’t “get” Jane Austen do so because they don’t quite grasp how restrictive regency society was for women, and so they don’t recognise the stakes and see the social minutiae of her plots as trivial, whereas they’re momentous for Austen’s characters
