Is it lit? Yes, it's lit. It's English Lit, and I think you're going to love it.

I want all my students to pick one book and one tv show and let me know what that mashup would look like. I'll go first: Charlotte’s Web Shooter

How you Dune-ing? Here's the #Dune and #Seinfeld mashup cartoon no one was asking for. NO SPICE FOR YOU!

@gaimanreader @neilhimself this is so great! I want an entire deck of these with all your stories!

Listen, bad news class, someone made the Netflix for YA novels pitch we've been working on. It's okay, I think our work can still be salvaged if we can pivot to a Quibi for Middle Grade novels.

You know I'm partial to Book Snake, but I'd be remiss not to also shout out the Stories with Big Faces 📚🎨

Tomorrow we are going to read The Things They Carried... Fortnite-style. I’m going to call on you and if you make a mistake, you’re “dead” and have to listen as someone else reads. As the storm closes in you’ll have to read faster & faster until there is one reader left sitting.
