Plz don’t let them be naked in the movie💀 (very much not a fan of male nudity😔)

That’s the only thing they could change from the book i wouldnt be mad abt 😂

Every school year, I try to make a love of reading visible in my classroom. I don’t assign reading outside of class as homework like reading logs, but I try to engage with it in a way that might make students choose it on their own.

By prepubescent ages, students usually have pretty set opinions about reading. A lot of it comes from feeling like they’re not good readers, that reading isn’t interesting, or that they would rather be doing literally anything else.

And I haven’t done this yet, but I like to do a check-in at the end of the year to see if those opinions shift, which will happen soon.

But I also want to know from all of you:

When did you become a reader? Were you always a reader as far back as you can remember? If it happened later, what changed it for you, a book, a phase, a moment?

For me, I can't remember a time I didn't have my nose in a book, outside of when life may have gotten a bit hectic. But, reading has always been an escape for me, a space for joy and wonder.

Just thought I'd throw a little space out there for people to talk about their days. Good, bad, everything in-between, anything really. How was work? How are your hobbies going? Do anything fun? I had a good day today. Work was chaotic but what else is new. Some stuff I ordered from etsy finally arrived today after the post office sat on it for 2 weeks until the seller got after them. One of the items is a print of the Hobbits and Gandalf but as frogs (frobbits hehe). I also got to start a new book while my cat was on my lap and I have a nice cold coconut dr pepper. The vibes are immaculate rn. How are you? How was your day?

There’s this book I discovered yesterday and it seemed pretty interesting. I had never heard of the author so I looked her up on socials and all of her marketing was AI. Like glaringly obvious AI. I’m talking AI had holding her book for her AI. The character art and graphics are also AI. It’s making me question whether I should read the book or not because it might be AI written or assisted.

My question for you all is: Would you read a book by an author who uses AI in their marketing?
