StoryBookSunday

#StoryBookSunday : so this was one of my favorites as a child. I used to write all sorts of “clues” about strangers and do the thing where you make up stories about what people might be up to. I think it‘s helped me become more inquisitive and observant as an adult

jb72 That‘s cool 😎 5y

VioletBramble I did that too - “playing town“. This was the first book that I read that I LOVED. Still in my top 10 favorites list nearly 50 years later.

ElizaMarie @VioletBramble I think I need to do a reread of this one :) 5y

Romeo and Juliet: Tragedies by William Shakespeare | Shakespeare

#StoryBookSunday #ParanormalLoveCrew #PLC

Unpopular opinion on one of the must reads for children. My school didn‘t have many books we HAD to read. Shakespeare has always been a big must in schools though. And I just don‘t get it! Firstly plays are terrible things to read, and second Romeo and Juliet is just such a bad love story! Don‘t get me wrong, Shakespeare is iconic. I would just rather watch them than read them.

8little_paws 100% agree about reading Shakespeare in high school. What was the point!? To teach kids adults only read dusty old classics? 5y

ElizaMarie Haha!!! I totally agree with you!!! But I do love this movie :) (edited) 5y

Megabooks I took some summer enrichment in Shakespeare in high school, but we had a passionate teacher who understood the text, was good at explaining it, and we acted them out. Without that level of teaching, I agree that it‘s pretty damn pointless in the average high school situation. 5y

Sace Even with a local Shakespeare theater I think it's pointless to teach him because our district makes it so hard to take a field trip none of the teachers take advantage of it 5y

BethM I 100% agree with you. 5y

jb72 I really did not like Romeo & Juliet. The whole thing is just ridiculous reading in my opinion. 5y

Laura317 I just liked the comedies. 5y

AkashaVampie i agree with u and @ElizaMarie.... i love this movie. Leo is one of my favs!!! 5y

To Kill a Mockingbird | Harper Lee

#StoryBookSunday - so.. I know super unpopular opinion here but... I mean it was okay. I kinda see how it is taught in schools but I think there are other books out there that would be more entertaining for the youth ...

LoverOfLearning I have my school copy sitting on my shelf. It's full of my notes and underlinings. This book is my next to read because I want to rediscover why it was so important for youth to study. I hope I still enjoy it. 😂😬 5y

jb72 I am actually rereading the book today for bookclub tomorrow. It‘s a definite pick for me. 5y

ElizaMarie @LoverOfLearning I mean I can get why it was read (actually I didn‘t have to read it in school) but I just only somewhat enjoyed it. I hear of people just loving this one. 5y

ElizaMarie @jb72 ha! Proves my opinion is super unpopular! Did you read the Watchman sequel? (I think it‘s called something like that) .. 5y

LoverOfLearning @ElizaMarie Hmm. Yeah it's been years for me. I have most of my old books sitting on my shelf with notes; The Odessy, Of Mice and Men, and a few more. 5y

jb72 @ElizaMarie No I did not. I‘ve heard it‘s not very good so I skipped it. 5y

The Snowy Day | Ezra Jack Keats

#storybooksunday #plc

This was my favorite book as a child. It seemed so magical to me and I loved the red coat so much.

James and the Giant Peach | Roald Dahl

#StoryBookSunday
Sundays is going to be a little hard for me. I never really read when I was younger. I had a problem when it came to reading.... so I didn't like it. I'm trying to think back and all I can think of is this book, reading it in class with the teacher.

jlabombard10315 I never read this as a kid, but I remembered my baby brother loving it! Fast forward to about 28 years later. I now have a toddler who reminds me so much of my brother as a kid that we picked this up and enjoyed the whole story at 36 and 2. 😊💙 5y

Milly-Molly-Mandy Storybook | Joyce Lankester Brisley

#StoryBookSunday #PLC #ParanormalLoveCrew

Milly Molly Mandy used to be one of my favourite childhood books. It used to drive my mum mad to read it to me though!

ElizaMarie Ooo Never even heard of this one! 5y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Yessss! I had some on cassette and I would always get scared in one story when they climb over a fence that has a ‘trespassers will be shot‘ sign on it to pick blackberries 😂 I‘ve always been a bit taken with fried onion and bread for supper too - sounds delicious! 5y

jb72 It sounds cute! 5y

jb72 I‘ll have to look this one up to read. I love when you find books you want to share the rest of your life. 5y

ElizaMarie @jb72 it is super super cute! I hope you like it :) But it has to be the old Grover one and not the one with Elmo. Grover for life! Team Grover :) 5y

jb72 @ElizaMarie I‘m more team Cookie Monster. LOL 🍪 cookies are my life. I can totally relate to him. One time I made sure to eat every single Oreo before my ex got home from work. I made myself sick but it was worth it. YOLO 5y

ElizaMarie @jb74 haha okay I can respect Team Cookie Monster (yesterday I had a whole sleeve of chewy chips ahoy) 5y
