How would you count these apples?

@3kingvisions @jeromeofford @kelwat103 So excited for the kids!!!!

Becoming a librarian changed my life!! I never saw a black male librarian growing up until my mid 20s when I met mentors @jeromeofford and @kelwat103 !! I want to inspire the next generation to get into this profession!!

@teenadreckman Back Tuesday for me and Thursday for kids.

Please tell me I am not the only one who has to go back to work on Monday!! PD day and then students come back Tuesday! Haven’t got to most of my winter break list yet.

@mhdksafa Mom is beautiful. Happy day to her.

@SeptimusBrown Little Women.

What's your favourite classic novel? (What's a classic?? Let's say... published prior to 1950.) #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #writerslife

@wordsofmento @Scholastic @AlanGratz As soon as my fair was delivered I sent in a restock order.

Eight books! @Scholastic sent me EIGHT copies of Two Degrees for my middle school book fair. I have almost 900 students, and they love @AlanGratz. His shelf is always empty. 📚 😢 Eight books!

@Kbahri5 @MrNunesteach @lportnoy Unstable Unicorns, Century Golem, codenames

@romenendez14 @readiatrician I noticed that too. Breaks my heart.

@readiatrician So many of the books that saved this precious human’s life are banned. How dare anyone take away a life saving book from a child!

I said goodbye to a patient a few years ago. She didn’t die, she just got old. I treat patients to age 21 and they move on. When they do, I joke, “well, I did my job! I kept you alive until adulthood!” With this kid, it was not a joke. 1/

@aprilhenrybooks I don't recommend moving to Missouri.

Really wondering why I should stay here.

@aforapplejoy Changing to the library helped. The kids keep me coming back.

@notthegymnast My vote is Stick to candy. We would through our homemades.

Question for parental folks. If I made and individually wrapped cookies with allergen info on them for Halloween, would parents think I was trying to like CBD poison their kid and throw them out? Should I just stick to actual candy? I want to bake and be cute.

@KSekouM We are also proud.

Did the toddler yell potty and point at the bathroom? Yes! Did we make it? …well no. But was he proud? Yes!

@melissacorey OMG! Your Book Lists are AMAZING. I made a few of my own, then went to your workshop. These templates are exactly what I was looking to do. and have saved me so much time. I am modifying them for me and creating a buy list too. Thanks!!

@ViviAnneHunt Shout it from the rooftops. Go youuuuuuu!!!!!

I know the nature of online relationships is fickle, but I am so disappointed in losing a friend because they thought I was 'gloating'. I mean, this is my first book. Was I supposed to be quiet about it? Geez.😕

Raytown scores first going up 8-0 over @FortOFootball

@CiteSomething @melissacorey @TLT16 Oooohhh. I like yours better than mine. I just did a list of authors in genres.
