QUESTION does anyone else include children's books in their have read list? It was mentioned on a fb group as cheating to include books you read to your kids. Is it? 😬🤔 @Cupcake12 @BethM @Butterfinger @Roary47 and everyone else who reads with children. Please and thank you 🤗 #question #kidsbooks #bookrules #readbooks

Bookwormjillk I do if I really like it. People who want to call others cheaters are kind of buzz kills in my opinion. It‘s a reading list not filing taxes for goodness sakes. 2y
dragondrool Of course I do. If it's a book, and I read it, it's fair game. For the record, I don't read to children. If I pick up a children's book, I'm more than likely reading it for me. Usually, the illustrations grab me. At our middle school library, we don't call the picture books, shelved with an E on the spine label, “Easy“ books. They're “Everybody“ books. 2y
IndoorDame I always do. I started recording them because I wanted to remember certain ones to read to my students the following year, but half the time I‘m reading them for myself and now I just recorded all of them. 2y

Roary47 I don‘t include them in my yearly book count, but I do give reviews for other parents or people looking to gift books for kids. I only really do it for ones I like, but want to do for all one day. 2y
hannah-leeloo Thank you @Roary47 @IndoorDame @dragondrool and @Bookwormjillk I love reading kids books too especially when in a slump or need cheering up. Thank you, there was quite an ordeal about it in the fb group so I'm glad I have Litsy for friendly reassurance 🤗 2y
Butterfinger If it is for a challenge I do. I do count my MG/YA books, maybe not picture books. Although, I am going to be posting a bunch of reviews for picture books later today for #BBRC. 2y
BethM I was told to count them on here for games etc. 2y
Cupcake12 Reading is reading….it is better to read something then nothing. I‘ve read so many childrens books with the girls growing up! 📖😍 2y

Did you know Spotify has audiobooks? I found neon gods last night and I‘m stoked to see they have audiobooks. They have some of everything. I do have a premium account, so not 100% if you can listen with a free account or not.

A twisting, twirling leap into the betrayals of professional ballet.
📚
At the American Ballet Company, onstage beauty comes at the cost of backstage ugliness. No more pretty pointe shoes!
📚
This is a tale of jealousy & sabotage. Gigi, Bette, & June navigate relationship & health problems as the story moves through unpredictable betrayals. “The Sugar Plum Fairy has farthest to fall.“

KristiAhlers Reading it now actually! 🩰❤️ 3y
shannonsnextchapter @Katbooklover hope you‘re enjoying it!😊 3y
KristiAhlers @shannonsnextchapter so far I am. I‘m a former dancer so this is really coming across as realistic. Ballet is beautiful but beyond competitive when you get to a certain level. 3y

Strange the Dreamer | Laini Taylor

QOTD- What is your favorite subgenre of fantasy?

If you like the troupes that come with YA romance and YA fantasy, then Strange the Dreamer will be perfect for you, but for me, these cliches, combined with the contrived conflict and pacing issues far outweighed the original ideas.

Mongrels: A Novel | Stephen Graham Jones

QOTD-which are cooler, vampires or werewolves?

Told with heartaching sincerity, Mongrels is a literary story through and through (i.e. it's focus almost solely on characters and not plot). For me, this is especially felt in the novel's pacing, which contains a serious of minor events that take place over the course of our main character's young life. The narrativs highlights their lives well, but it does make each event feel a tad insignificant.

Halo: Evolutions: Essential Tales of the Halo Universe | Eric Nylund, Karen Traviss, Tobias S. Buckell

Mehso-so

QOTD- have you played any video games before? If so, which one left the biggest impact on you?

Incase you don't know, Halo is a shooter centered around a galactic war between humans and aliens. As far as storytelling goes, this series has rarely been anything to write home about, and although i've always seen the potential in it, these books never quite reach the quality I envision for them. 😓

QOTD- Favorite book about mental health?

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a tour-de-force. Focused on the story about a sane man being sentence to an asylum, Cuckoo's Nest it's about what we consider 'healthy' in an ultimately insane world. It also asks us to consider what it means to be free, how we treat ourselves as individuals, and most importantly, how it important it is to fight against the system, whichever it may be

⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2
