Today is International Literacy Day! According to Wikipedia, International Literacy Day was declared by UNESCO in 1966 to highlight the importance of literacy to individuals, communities, and societies. As of 2096, some countries still had literacy rates as low as 12.8%. In 2018, UNESCO reported that 775M people lack minimum literacy skills with one in five adults not literate. Of those adults, 2/3 are women. Additionally, 60.7M children are out-of-school and others attend irregularly or drop out. (Imagine how this pandemic will impact these numbers!) I’m a puppy so obviously I can’t _actually_ read, but my human did just get me the book Madeline Finn and the Therapy Dog which talks about her and her pup Star’s journey to Therapy Dog. I can’t wait to be like Star when I grow up! Swipe for some reminders on Therapy Dogs and the cover of Star’s book. 📚 I don’t know how this pup can help with literacy but if you have any ideas please share them below. #readingwithdogs #currentlyreading #doglife #bookstagramer #doglover #puppylove #bookreview #booknerd #love #books #dogs #dogbookclub #dog #booklover #bookworm #instadog #puppy #goldenretriever #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #reading #booksanddogs #literacy #bookphoto #doglovers #bookstagram #puppiesofinstagram #dogsandbooks #bibliophile #dogstagram (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE5cPLkpvtr/?igshid=u4hv40851uzn

¡Me alegra que te haya gustado! #Repost @mysticgur with @get_repost ・・・ Hoy en la escuela dominical hacemos un breve espacio entre los temas mágicos para adentrarnos en la cautivadora obra del novelista gráfico @hgsantarriaga La alucinante estética de las ilustraciones no desmerece la profundidad de la obra. Parte de la serie “sueños rotos” que aborda el tema de la trata de blancas. Son temas importantes, de los qué hay que estar hablando y hablando y hablando. Para entender, para sentir, para exorcizar. Casilda y Chantilly están fascinadas con el relato. Ampliamente recomendable!! . . . . #reading #readingtime #readingwithdogs #sunday #sundayschool #sundaymood #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogislove #lovemydogs #comic #mexicancomic #nostromoediciones (en Río de los Remedios) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8w31FfAGJm/?igshid=16et8aulyhu7g

#WitchAThon and #BYOBthon Update! I finished my 4th book for WitchAThon and it worked for two BYOBthon challenges! I finished City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab at around 5:00p on October 30th, almost 4.5 hours ago. It was a really fun, rather scary, super fantastic story. 😊⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤ . . . . Incidentally, I decided to up my star rating for The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill. It too is getting five stars from me. Why? Because both it AND City of Ghosts had me feeling so tense at times that I felt sick! 😨😄⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤ . . . . #WitchAThon Stats to Date: 1,228 pages read, 4 books completed, 5 reading challenges DONE! See Photo Five! 😄🎉❤ . . . . #BYOBthon Stats to Date: 5,560 pages read, 23 stories completed, 24 reading challenges DONE! See Photos Two through Four! City of Ghosts worked for challenges 28 and 34! 😄🎉❤ . . . . Photo Six shares an image I snapped last night, when I was in the process of finishing Part Two in City of Ghosts. It was scary! So I finished the book after the sun was up today. 😊❤ . . . . And Photos Seven and Eight share views of me reading City of Ghosts this afternoon with my Max on my legs. He woke up for Photo Seven but went back to sleep for Photo Eight! 😍❤😍 . . . . Oh! And Photo One is shown with a filter to make the photo not as dark, but I've unfortunately forgotten which filter I used! 😲🙈 Luckily, I was able to go back and find that it was the Sierra Filter. 😊❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #ReadingWithDogs #bookstagram #VictoriaSchwab #books #CityofGhosts #series #CassidyBlake #SierraFilter https://www.instagram.com/p/BplX2RZH6gk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bk5j8xzg7e4s

Today's September 11th task for #jcfseptember is to share #teaorcoffee. I'm more of a coffee drinker, if I had to choose one. And it seems as if most of the characters in this book are coffee drinkers, too! 😄☕❤ . . . . In the photo above, I highlighted a line that shows that Otto has a cup of coffee 🍵. If you zoom in, you might even be able to read it! 😄🙈❤ . . . . And I'm reading Northern Lights by Nora Roberts. I'm only on page 359, but I'd sort of like to finish this 637-page story tonight. I'm past the halfway point! 😄🎉 And right now it's not yet 2:00p in the afternoon, so this should be doable. Maybe. 🤔🤔🤔 . . . . #DogsofInstagram #ReadingWithDogs #bookstagram #NoraRoberts #books #NorthernLights #CurrentRead #CurrentlyReading https://www.instagram.com/p/BnmZvBQFugW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w1rd1y710eq4

Today's August 12th task for #jcfaugust is to share something relating to "Dreaming of Summer." I NEVER dream about summer, because summers are too sunny, too hot, too humid, too much. So it's "good" that it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere and I can instead be "Dreaming of Winter." Because just as I NEVER dream about summer, I ALWAYS dream about winter. Especially here in Arizona, because our winters here are more like fall or spring elsewhere. 😕 . . . . I dream of super cold and very snowy winters. One of my favorite memories from living in Seattle is of the winter of 2008. We had snow, temperatures in the 20s during the day, and I walked the mile-and-change to and from work. For one GLORIOUS week. I was VERY happy that week. (I was also one of only two people in the office. The other? He lived just two or three blocks away.) 😄❄❤ . . . . Now that it's August, the NFL is in Preseason. So I'm especially dreaming of Winter, because my Mom will leave for my brother's and I'll have the house to myself. And I'll be able to read in the living room in the daytime with the television OFF. 🙄❤ . . . . But since it IS August, I'm trying to read while the Vikings play the Broncos on TV. It's possible, but rough-going. 😕 . . . . And turn to Photo Two to see Sad Max. My poor baby is dressed in his "I'm a naughty boy" harness and does not look happy about it. He's also up on the couch with me, and his head was on my knee. He looks like he's dreaming of winter, too. Because when Grandma's away, he doesn't need to wear this harness. 🙄😍❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #ReadingWithDogs #bookstagram #KevinHearne #books #Besieged #series #IronDruidChronicles

So, I am still reading White Lies by Jayne Ann Krentz, and I just snapped another #openbook photo with my Max, Who is sitting in front of me with his little friend. Don't they look adorable together? 😄😍❤😍❤😍 . . . . And I will finish White Lies tonight. It's not yet 8:20p and I only have around 60 pages left to read. So look for another post from me in an hour or three! 😄😉❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #ReadingWithDogs #bookstagram #JayneAnnKrentz #books #WhiteLies #series #ArcaneSociety #ArcaneSocietySeries

As a follow-up to my earlier #openbook #jcfaugust post, I am now reading in bed with Max beside me. His breathing drew my attention and I just had to take a picture! 😍❤😍 . . . . The book is still White Lies by Jayne Ann Krentz. I'm now starting Chapter Twenty on page 158. I might not finish this 372-page book tonight, but I'm hoping to at least pass the halfway point! 😀😍❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #ReadingWithDogs #bookstagram #JayneAnnKrentz #books #WhiteLies #series #ArcaneSociety #ArcaneSocietySeries
