“Miss M., I’m so tired today because I was up really late. I could not put down The Luxe! It’s sooooo good!”
And once this student told me the above, I immediately had a waiting list for my copy of the book. When she finished the last chapter in class today, she immediately walked it over to the next girl on the list. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my kids recommending books to each other.
Oh, and how did my day end? With my late dismissal girls fighting over the boys in their books. Passionately defending their choices. And backing them up with evidence from the text that proved what amazing “husbands” they would make. Gotta love it!

Sarah,
I never got back with you, but I just wanted to make sure you got the copy of NAMING THE WORLD. Are you using it and do you like it?

That is so cool! Happy Friday.
I love it when kids/teens get excited about sharing their books. i remember how fun it was to pass books in a series between friends when I was young.
