Seeking book recommendations for my 10 y.o. son. He‘s in 4th grade and dipping toes into horror…he‘s been allowed to watch some scary movies (The Omen, The Conjuring, The Shining, It (1990 miniseries), Signs, The Sixth Sense).

He‘s wanted to read Stephen King, so for his birthday he got The Eyes of the Dragon & The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. He‘s devouring these books…

Any recommendations for where to steer him next? Thanks, Litsy! 💜🩷

JackOBotts No nightmares from the reads/movies. He‘s also reading some of my Fear Street books from childhood, but not as fast as the King novels. I will add that we‘re trying to avoid excessive language, sex, gore in the books at the moment (good luck with King!), but he also understands the balance. #raisingreaders 🥰 (edited) 2w

Lauredhel Is he too old for Goosebumps? I feel like ten isn't quite too old yet? 2w

Lauredhel More YA but a mix: Anna Dressed in Blood, Wilder Girls,Miss Peregrine series, Shirley Jackson, Dread Nation, Hold Me Closer Necromancer series (humour /horror), Through the Woods, Kaaron Warren, Holly Black, Mira Grant, some T Kingfisher, Monstrumologist, Claire Legrand, NK Jemisin, None Shall Sleep 2w

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I‘ve not read them myself but I do get asked for the Five Nights At Freddy‘s books reasonably often at the library (we shelve them in teen)

Five Nights at Freddy's: The Silver Eyes

PathfinderNicole I have a 7th grade horror fan myself and he LOVES the Five Night‘s at Freddy‘s books! There are full length novels and oodles of short story collections. There are also a couple based off the kids horror game Hello Neighbor. Try Mary Downing Hahn or Betty Wright for older kid friendly horror too

Christina's Ghost

Billypar I read this as an adult a few years ago, but it's one I wished I read as a kid because it's so, so creepy and original. Not at all like adult horror if he's reading King, but I don't think it feels too young either.

The Nest

JackOBotts @Lauredhel @thegirlwiththelibrarybag @PathfinderNicole @Billypar ~ thank you for all these recs! 🙌🏼 Time for me to do some reading - I mean, research -of my own! Gotta catch up with his King titles first…or simultaneously! 📚📚 2w

🤔The giver shouldn't say “Your report was confusing and lacked depth.“ They should share the data 🔍: “I noticed that you didn't distinguish between online and brick-and-motor sales. Let's discuss that....“

It would be nice if they did, but usually they don't - not because they're trying to be cagey or unclear. 😱 The process of moving from data to interpretation happens in a blink of an eye and is largely unconscious.“ 😱

A major part of my job involves giving and receiving feedback and this book has a lot of helpful ideas about that process! One is to separate appreciation, coaching, and evaluation. #nonfiction

EKonrad This has been on my TBR for awhile. Thanks for the reminder to read it! 😊 6y

Given that #IFeelFine starts with a burst of guitar feedback, I thought this book would fit well with today's prompt 😄 Would have preferred to take a photo of my copy, but it's at work and I forgot to take a picture of it. Today was a day 😑

#AugustGrrrl #work One of my current consulting projects is writing & facilitating a basic communications workshop for an organization that as a whole doesn't do it very well--especially giving & receiving feedback & speaking up for themselves. These are some of the resources on my print & e-book work bookshelves at the moment. It may not seem very fun reading but I actually find the practice & psychology behind communication interesting. 🤔📚🤓

emilyhaldi I just took a screenshot of this! Think some of these books would definitely be helpful reading 🤓 7y

DebinHawaii @emilyhaldi Although I've cherry-picked chapters/sections in some for my current needs, I'm finding they are all good books & helpful. 👍🏻📚 7y

Cinfhen Sounds brutal 😖 7y

Thanks for the Feedback: The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well, Even When It Is Off Base, Unfair, Poorly Delivered, and, Frankly, You're Not in the Mood.

Great book, very helpful for me.

RealLifeReading Haha! That's a good subtitle 8y

rabbitprincess @RealLifeReading The use of "frankly" really sells it for me ? 8y
