@weepingcaesar 4/5

@EDUwithEmily what did you rate it

once again pleaaasee help me choose my next read

@AuthorGFAllen Yes

Do you visualize everything while reading a book? As if you are watching a movie?

@readingfromeden Funny Story is also good. Very typical romance. I feel like her books are all pretty similar.

@readingfromeden Heart the Love is a quick read. Easily 1-2 sittings. It’s really strange at first, but gets super emotional at the end. I’ve heard The Wedding People is good, but it’s still on my TBR

can someone influence or deinfluence me from these😭 trying to find some vacation literature

@gratefullygwen I thought it was decent!

okay gang I was contemplating purging this from my shelf, who's read The Midnight Library?

@HannahWardEdu Why?

My personal list of banned books:

@weepingcaesar Probably the seven year slip

@EDUwithEmily which one did you like moreee

@SIXOFHAYA Variation by Rebecca Yarros

good morning booktwt! what are you guys currently reading??

Next up on the reading list: • Variation by Rebecca Yarros • A Guardian and a Thief by Megha Majumdar & whatever I happen to find at the library today 😉

Onto the last hour of this audiobook. It was a little lengthy, but there are sooo many family members and scandals to get through. This will probably be 4/5 ⭐️ for me.

2.5/5 ⭐️ I’m not a big fan of murder mysteries, so my rating may be biased. I would describe this as a “cozy mystery”. Small town, slow-paced, likable characters. There are some Christian faith references throughout. I don’t think I’ll read #2 any time soon.

Next up:

@howlingnun I just put this on my TBR, but now I’m questioning things

cr: yesteryear (hate read)

I have finally finished the Throne of Glass series. Overall, I’d give it 3.75/5 stars. Some books were better than others. I’m on the hunt for the next fantasy/romantacy series to try!

@karlaslibrary_ Yes!! I feel like this would be a quick fix for them to add in. I don’t understand why it’s not an option! @goodreads

the day goodreads adds .5 stars is the day i will find peace🫩

@Kristinartz I did have homeroom, but it was at the end of the day and it was kind of like a study period.

@RoyIsThaTruth @mzjruck “If that’s a problem, I’ll homeschool and teach them myself.” … sounds like maybe you should do that.

Schools really need to remember that PARENTS are still the ultimate authority over their own children. If I decide my child is staying home, going on a trip, taking a mental break, or simply needs time away from school… then that IS an excused absence because I excused it. I don’t need validation from a doctor, attendance officer, superintendent, or anybody else to parent MY child. And let’s be real… some of y’all are way too comfortable acting like kids belong more to the school system than to their own families. My child is not a robot programmed to wake up every morning and perform on command because the state says so. Childhood is short, and I’m not handing over all of my child’s most important years to a system that thinks perfect attendance matters more than real life, family time, mental health, or experiences outside a classroom. If I want my child home for a week, send the work. If that’s a problem, I’ll homeschool and teach them myself. Reading, writing, math — none of that is impossible without a school building. And before people start with “they need structure” — structure starts at HOME, not in a classroom. Don’t send me threatening attendance letters like you have more authority over my child than I do. The school does NOT dictate my child’s life or schedule. My kids are on MY schedule. Not yours.

@ed_gethane Seems like you’re getting a bit worked up.

@EDUwithEmily Yes. There ARE many nuances. Did ANYONE say this was a Common Occurrence, huh? I made the point that IT'S POSSIBLE to do it. AND, your ".27%" happens to actually be a pretty big number of births as it's a little over 1 out of 400.

Has anyone ever heard of siblings who were born on the same day of the month, but in different years?????
