Wes‘ class did a blind book exchange. This one went right into the donate/sell pile😂 Honestly they‘re 4! But then I realized that some other parent is probably equally annoyed that they got a Sesame Street book with one paragraph per page 😂😂 #raisingreaders

Avanders 🤭but I‘m on your side anyway…. 😁 2d

Thanks for the Feedback: The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well | Douglas Stone, Sheila Heen

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) 3w

Lauredhel Is he too old for Goosebumps? I feel like ten isn't quite too old yet? 3w

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 3w

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! 📚📚 3w

I decided to have Jace join me for #foodandlit this month. This is an adorable book about a Malaysian boy who wants to be able to cook delicious food with his grandma & aunties, although that is usually frowned upon in their culture. His aunties try to snub him but grandma will have none of it & he joins them in the kitchen to prepare food for the Lunar New Year. It soon becomes an annual tradition. And as a bonus, there are recipes in the back!

Book shopping!

Not sure how this one escaped my radar in 2022, but I just read about it the other day and then read all the wonderful Litsy reviews and just had to have it.

Grabbed #18 in the Dragon Masters series for my 8 year old - anyone else's kids love this series? He's whipping through them, and we can't keep them on the shelves at the library! #RaisingReaders

I just started reading The Bad Seed series to Jace this week. This is THE cutest series! This was my favorite page from this particular book - it‘s always great to see my favorite show, Mad Men, mentioned out in the wild. 😅 I would highly recommend this entire series and Jace really loved it as well. I love the artwork. #TheBadSeed #childrensbooks #MadMen #raisingreaders

GingerAntics I love all the pop culture references in those TV shows. 🤣😂🤣 3mo

They let me browse all the books while they hunkered down with their books on the side of the aisle. Love that this is what a trip to the bookstore looks like now!

Reading Picture Books with Children: How to Shake Up Storytime and Get Kids Talking about What They See | Megan Dowd Lambert

A part of nightly homework is 20 min of reading. I decided to start sitting down with the kids and enjoy reading with them. It has quickly become my favorite part of my day during the week!!

LiteraryinPA That‘s a great family habit! 4mo

Suet624 I have wonderful memories of doing this with all of my kids. 4mo

TEArificbooks We call that time “reading parties” complete with snacks and drinks. Great memory making and will establish a life long love for reading and learning. #raisingreaders 4mo
