Another morning coffee.Overall the tagged book was a good read but I did find Alice rather immature.
It‘s a dual timeline story. It‘s 1881 & the love affair between Austin Dickinson & Mabel Todd is explored. Move to 2013 & Alice Dickinson(no relation)is researching their story to write a script.Her quest takes her to Amherst where she finds”love,”secrets, & betrayal in the lovers story & her own.Emily D hovers ghost like on the sidelines.A so-so.

Cupcake12 A pretty view 🥰 8mo

Suet624 I always know it‘s your post when I see all these colors in the photo. So gorgeous. Is that Shelburne museum mug from Mass or in VT? 8mo

peanutnine I can't help but feel a bit hopeful like Garth that maybe Fred will get the estate he was expecting and actually have the skills now to run it properly... Maybe. Seems too good to be true almost 2y

Belle, the Last Mule at Gee's Bend: A Civil Rights Story | Bettye Stroud, Calvin Alexander Ramsey

Belle, the Last Mule at Gee‘s bend is a heartwarming HF by C.A. Ramsey and B. Stroud, illustrated by J. Holyfield. In this story, a boy learns that an ordinary looking mule is quite special. This mule, Belle, had a role in this small town‘s fight for equal rights and was even part of Dr. King‘s funeral procession. I recommend this book as one piece of an AS about author Bettye Stroud.
https://www.k5chalkbox.com/author-studies.html #ucflae3414su20

nquintus The resource linked above is a basic breakdown of how to roll out an AS unit in an elementary classroom. This AS would give students plenty of opportunities to connect prior knowledge and personal experience to these stories, in addition to doing related vocabulary, writing, art, and history-related activities. These would meet ESOL strategy 2: promote cooperation and UDL #8.3: foster collaboration and community. 5y

DrSpalding This is a new book for me! Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres. Great idea to perform an author study if this author has numerous books. Sounds like a good one to integrate into the social studies curriculum. 5y

Amherst: A Novel | William Nicholson

#WhenIKissedTheTeacher ...or, more like “when I kissed the professor‘s wife. This is historical fiction that has a dual storyline, between contemporary times and the 1800s, chronicling Emily Dickinson‘s brother‘s affair with a local professor‘s wife. This has been on my to read list for quite some time, and I finally snagged a copy through Book Outlet.

#SebastianKitty wanted to lay on the book as I took the picture. #catsoflitsy #ABBAinAugust

Phantoms | Dean Koontz

Anybody else #currentlyreading or have read this one? I'm getting more and more creeped out as I go!

On a related note, anybody remember this show??

Booga booga y'all!! 😱👽🤡

#areyouafraidofthedark #flashback #scarystory #phantoms #koontz #bigbaby

Craftylikefox I loved this show and it use to be on Amazon prime! 7y

KathyWheeler This was the first Koontz book I actually liked. 7y

Skygoddess1 I love Phantoms, it‘s probably my favorite book by Dean Koontz, try to reread every couple of years. Whatever you do, don‘t watch the movie, so does not live up to the book. Wish Nickelodeon or a streaming network would reboot Are You Afraid of the Dark 7y

AsYouWish Loved the show, and I think I have one of the Are You Afraid of the Dark books somewhere. I think every once in a while Nickelodeon plays an episode, and I get very excited!!! 7y

shellleigh33 I loved this show when I was younger. I rewatched it a couple years back with my kids. 7y

QueenOfWands My favorite show as a kid! 7y

KrystleTheBookSlayer Holy nostalgia! This used to be my favorite show...sometimes I still watch episodes on YouTube! 7y

Billypar Haven't read the Koontz, but I also loved the show as a kid. Combine that with Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and John Bellairs novels, and that's a great map of my favorite scares growing up 😨😁 7y

Miss_Shush Loved this show!!! 7y

Chocamanda For a while they had some of the early seasons of Are You Afraid of the Dark on Amazon Prime. I don‘t know if they still do. I still quote this show. “That‘s Dr. Vink, with a veh veh veh veh” 😂 7y

hgrimes Me and my big sis watched that show religiously every week on Snick! We were so obsessed! 7y

Joy0201 Yes! 7y

Eggs Loved this show 7y

KatDowney I haven‘t read this but I used to watch the show all the time! 7y

Lovesbooks87 I loved the show when I was little. I remember watching it every weekend! 7y

theokiereader I still remember the one where they are in the shopping mall and this giant pinball rolls to the top of the escalator... I think he got trapped in a pinball game for eternity? 7y

brittanyreads Favorite childhood show!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 7y

SassyPants617 @marywag08 omg. That‘s the only one I remember. Lmao. I watched it a lot, but one night i was babysitting with my cousin, and that episode scared the crap out of me. 😂 For the longest time I thought i was the one who remembered. 7y

KathyWheeler @Skygoddess1 you‘re right about the movie — I was very disappointed by it. My favorite Koontz books are From the Corner of His Eye and Twilight Eyes. 7y

Whimsical.Curiosity @Craftylikefox I'll have to check prime to see if it ever comes back! 7y

Whimsical.Curiosity @KathyWheeler I hope it's my first one I like too 😁 7y

Whimsical.Curiosity @Skygoddess1 I had no idea there even was a movie! Netflix could make a killing. 7y

Whimsical.Curiosity @Chocamanda 🤣🤣🤣🤣 7y

Whimsical.Curiosity @KathyWheeler why would you say those are your fave? I'll need some more Koontz if this one turns out well. 7y

Whimsical.Curiosity @hgrimes ❤️snick 7y

Whimsical.Curiosity @SassyPants617 @marywag08 I loved that one! ❤️Pinball 7y

theokiereader @Whimsical.Curiosity @SassyPants617 Yes! That episode scared the crap out of me, too! 7y

Shvonne I loved that show. It was so creepy 7y

KathyWheeler @Whimsical.Curiosity Twilight Eyes was set in a circus and was well told. From the Corner of His Eye has a hero who had the same eye cancer my daughter had as a baby and it has the best Koontz villain. 7y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I remember that show! 7y

kezzlou85 I loved this show so much 7y

Whimsical.Curiosity @KathyWheeler I will add them both to my list, they sound intriguing! And how crazy to be able to related to something so rare! I hope your daughter is all well and better! 7y

KathyWheeler @Whimsical.Curiosity My daughter is great now. She lost vision in her left eye, all but her peripheral vision, but she‘s good otherwise. I still feel that my friends who read the book before I did should have told me about that character‘s cancer though, instead of letting me encounter it with no preparation. It was still relatively new for me and my daughter back when the book came out. 7y

Whimsical.Curiosity @KathyWheeler so glad shes good! Some people just don't connect dots maybe. 7y

KathyWheeler @Whimsical.Curiosity I know — I tease them about it now.😊 7y

Whimsical.Curiosity @KathyWheeler 🤣🤣 7y

BilboBookends Best show ever 🙌🏻 6y

Whimsical.Curiosity @BilboBookends yes! 🙏🙏🙏 6y
