IMWAYR: Graphic Novels COUNT as Reading!
I pulled a little collection of graphic novels out this week because we have three of them in our Battle of the Books stack this year and because Junior Library Guild delivered more with our school subscription last week. They will keep me busy,… Continue Reading “IMWAYR: Graphic Novels COUNT as Reading!”
IMWAYR: Listening to Craft Moves
It’s the day before Election Day in the USA. Times are tense. Anxiety runs high. I’m focused on reading. To keep my mind at ease, I think about the authors who craft their stories and question how they seem to get it all right… Continue Reading “IMWAYR: Listening to Craft Moves”
