Lucky Day Last week, I took my class to get library cards and take a tour of the local library. I love this activity. So useful for practicing their English (librarians are usually very chill about slower questions from language learners) and then my students can get free books and kid’s stuff. I really had all the feelings, the last time I got to do this was years ago, back before the plague. After my students left, I looked at the Lucky Day bookshelf, these are books that are usually on hold for ages, and grabbed The Club. Does your library have Lucky Day checkouts? Is there a book you’re waiting for? #bookblogger #bookblogging #locallibrary #bookstagram #theclub #bookcommunity #whatimreadingnow #eslteacherlife (at Fields Corner Branch of the Boston Public Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnzSLUVLhh6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I think some books have been conspiring to make me read “Hamlet” by William Shakespeare. It also seems to me I’ve never read it (shame 😬). So, read it I shall 🧐 As for “Hamnet”, the book I’ve read because of you, bookstagrammers, it is, as expected, heartbreaking and beautiful; the book that can’t be read in public unless you want other people see you cry (yep, I, too, made this mistake 😭). #bookstagram #bookstagrammers #instabooks #instabookstagram #whatimreadingnow #whattoread #whattoreadnext #booksthatmakeyoucry #hamnet #hamlet #maggieofarrell #williamshakespeare #historicalfictionbooks #britishliterature #britishauthors (at Tallinn, Estonia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRWwwcOLoRc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Heard really good things about this book so I had to pick it up. Promised myself I'd read it in December so I'd better get started. #onedayindecember #bookstagram #whatimreading #whatimreadingnow #booksofinstagram #mariankeyes #ucantwearthat #plussizeblogger #bookblogger #ilovebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Br5-swLgZG5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lia4gqtmqx1l

A fascinating read, spotted at #allaboutwomen on the weekend. # books #whatimreadingnow

Re-reading an old favourite. I ❤all Robertson Davies' novels but this is the one I like best of all! #whatimreadingnow #ilovelibraries #robertsondavies

#whatimreadingnow … I have so many books on my to-read pile waiting for the appropriate time for me to open them, and being on the cusp of a new year seems the right moment to crack the cover of Last of the Better Days Ahead by one of my favorite #minnesotamusicians, @charlie.parr. I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen Charlie play, from the @turfclubmn to small venues throughout MN. But I have fond memories of that first time I saw him take the stage. It was back 10+ years and over in Bayfield, WI, at Big Top Chautauqua. I was there to see Greg Brown. I had no clue who the opening act was, so when this dude with a scruffy beard, blue jean overalls, and a beat-up baseball cap walked onto the stage, I thought he was just a stagehand checking on things. The silence that washed over the audience at that moment hinted at the musical treat I was about to experience. I’ve been a fan since, and if his book is half as good as some of his songs, then it’ll be a damn fine read. And if plans work out, he’s got a residency at the Turf Club this January. Hopefully I can make that a countless + 1 times I’ve seen him play. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2JFCZp73V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
