Passionate Readers: The Art of Reaching and Engaging Every Child | Pernille Ripp

Her expression at the end is all of us when we hear stupid questions like that:

“Don‘t you have enough books?”
“Aren‘t you already reading something?”
“Maybe we should worry about rent instead of the new book releases?”
“How much longer are you going to look at books?”
“Are all these books truly necessary?”

#HermioneScowls

AmyG Ha! I have been asked so many stupid questions be people who don‘t read. 3mo

AnnCrystal 👏😂😉👍. 3mo

the-books-were-better “don‘t you have 73 unread books? why do you need more-?!” 3mo

Deifio I'd love to be the one who lives in the library! 😍 I always wanted to have one like in Beauty and the Beast ☺️ 4y

Kimberlone @Deifio yes, who didn‘t? Belle will always be my favorite Disney princess for the library reasons :) 4y

It feels like a dream! I‘m going all the way to Wales to spend a weekend reading with friends in a library B&B?!? My husband is the absolute best for encouraging me to step outside my comfort zone and travel abroad alone for the best vacation I can imagine.

Thank you @Mitch for setting this up and being such an inspiration! (Check our her original post for more info or if you‘re interested in joining!)

#LitsyReadingRetreat2020

Did you have #readingretreatenvy last weekend?!

Would you like to spend the weekend reading books, talking about books, eating cake and perhaps even talking about cake?!

Head on over to see @Mitch on her Litsy feed to find out how to book on next year‘s retreat.

#LitsyReadersRetreat2020

scripturient Have you booked too, @squirrelbrain? 👍🏻👏🏻😁 5y

squirrelbrain No not yet @scripturient - I‘m not sure if I can go yet.... I can always rock up in the campervan if all the rooms sell out! 😁 5y

Soubhiville This feels so surreal! I can‘t believe I‘m going! 💕📚💕 5y

erzascarletbookgasm So envy you all, UK peeps! 💗 5y

wanderinglynn This is on my calendar. Plus, if I‘m coming all that way, I think I‘ll make a whole well-long trip & do some U.K. exploring! 5y

CouronneDhiver Exciting! I‘d love to, but not sure I‘ll have enough spare $$$ to make it work 🤔 Maybe... 5y

jenniferw88 I'm coming! Woohoo! Just emailed! 5y

scripturient @Sarah83 @Heideschrampf Now is your chance! Hurry up, spots are limited! :) 5y

Mitch @erzascarletbookgasm it‘s an truly international affair - so far we‘ve got U.K., Germany and USA represented! 🤣 5y

Mitch @wanderinglynn yes! Come 🥳 5y

Mitch @jenniferw88 haven‘t got anything ....? 5y

jenniferw88 @Mitch it was struggling to send, but it just has! 5y

Samplergal Oh I would love to do this. 5y

Mitch @Samplergal 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 5y

Samplergal @Mitch another UK flight and while I‘m there I might as well do some touring,,,, let me try to figure if my finances can do this. 5y

LeahBergen Ohhhhh!! 💕💕💕💕 5y

Emilymdxn I‘ve just booked! I wrote a whole comment somewhere else about budgeting for it and booking later in the year... then I just booked it! Excited to join you guys 5y

Mitch @Emilymdxn yeah! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 5y

Kalalalatja I would love to, but with still being unemployed and saving for a trip to Vietnam later this year, I just can‘t afford it right now. Is there an “order before date” or is it possible to book later on? 5y

Mitch @Kalalalatja Oh, Vietnam - how exciting. You can join us any time, the library is small though with not many bedrooms. If you book now you only have to pay one nights accommodation, the balance you pay on check out. (edited) 5y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego This is tempting. I may have to wait for the 3rd Annual though. 5y

Kalalalatja Good to know! I hope I can scrape some money together, so I can join you! 🤞 5y

Mitch @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego 2021 it is! 👏🏼 5y

1) I always have about a million going across multiple formats at any given time. That number may or may not be an exaggeration.
2) Images, mostly. Sometimes there might be some movement. I'm a speedreader so images tend to be more common.
3. I think I usually stand inside the character or right behind their shoulder watching if it's first person POV. 3rd, I'm watching them.
4. Harry Potter!!!! One day!!

📚 By colours!

📚 Depends on the reader's interest. But can I suggest Tuck Everlasting? Think it'd appeal to every reader 😁

📚 Oh yes! Every new book I bought! 😁

📚 Absolutely! Sherlock Holmes books especially 😁

I saw the #crimesagainstcovers challenge hosted by @ErinSueG & had to join in!
I teach first grade & provide my little readers with lots of books, but they are a little too passionate about reading sometimes! I have a box that I call my Book Hospital & deposit all the books they rip or that have come apart with age in there. Over the summer I repair or recycle them. This summer there are 31 + 1 that can‘t be saved.

Erinsuereads You are a saint among readers 😂😂. You are REALLY going to like the rest of the prompts. Can‘t wait to hear your stories! 6y

Kaye Yes, it‘s a whopper of a prize, but not getting very many bites so far. I like to add fun to the giveaways, not just have people list their name, then I pick one out of a hat. I like to think of a task to do , so it‘s more fun. So far, very few entries. Need to repost today I guess. You did great with yours ! 6y
