Lol! I teach that one every year, too!

Were you my student?

Some states or maybe individual cities banned that one too

Wait that’s a thing!?

It is for me! Haha! My dad is half Scandinavian (Danish). We always joke about it.

I get mine on my kindle through overdrive with our libraries. It’s so simple! Plus I don’t have to go anywhere to get them. Just go on my laptop click a button and.... Voila! Instant book

I have to admit in my twenties I did have social media for several years oh, and I got so disgusted with it I boycotted and it's been the best choice I've ever made! Yes ebooks are great but there's something about holding a book and being able to turn the pages and smelling the history in the pages that makes it come alive!! I actually for a long time broadcast recording book and have someone read it to me and I actually did better that way sometimes I get distracted while reading

Did you hear that libraries are getting books returned that are burned because people are putting them in the microwave trying to kill the virus, they actually are implementing 72-hour pickup times in between people being able to re take out books

That's CRAZY SAUCE. I had the virus. Did I catch it from a library book?

(I'm joking - I got it from my hubby who got it from soneone at his work)

See I love the kindle over real books. I know it sounds weird. I’m 33 so I’m younger than you I can’t say that to too many people

You should see me when I teach Beowulf! I get all into it. And we read sagas and study longships and facetime with a museum in Iceland... That's why I fell in love with Ancient Lit. I read Beowulf in elementary and never looked back!

There’s a Beowolf book... mind blown Why didn’t I know this. I swear I feel dumb some days. I think every time I have surgery I lose memory I feel like I’m reliving my life again
