@SandyBrehl Thank you, Sandy! Yes, it is just this long since I've logged into Twitter. (And yes, I refuse to call it anything else.)

Called @BalinBooks last week to order the first two books in the Meena series by @mskarlam for @viviankirkfield's #50PreciousWords literacy initiative. A chance to support #literacy #EpilepsyAwareness and a #Wisconsin author, all at once? I'll take it! ❤️📚

@THelixon @BalinBooks @viviankirkfield Thank you!

Just sold all my hair to buy a watch chain for my bf for Christmas. Can’t wait for him to open it! It’s going to be the best Christmas ever

@NaomiJKrueger Reading together was an absolute joy in our house . . . until my second grader started bringing home tedious, badly-photocopied non-stories of read-aloud homework. I'll never forget the pained look she gave me at the end of one of those pointless readers.

@SketchesbyBoze Every time we watch it, we wail and gnash our teeth at that part. "Oh, my God, no, not the LIBRARY!"

@ErikaManternach @WriteNowCoach I don't suppose you have an MLA citation handy. 🙂

[Karla Manternach @mskarlam]

What say you, #WritingCommunity? This seems way off to me.

My teen's history lesson for the day:

"Wait. . . To clean a CD player, do you use. . . a cleaning CD??"

[Karla Manternach @mskarlam]

@WriteNowCoach Exactly. If that's no longer standard practice, it's sure news to me.

What say you @ErikaManternach?
