Jan Jones @janjonesauthor.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Love them all, esp the Reading Together. That's what encouraged my two to read (not that they were in any way reluctant). 040
the girl with Shinigami eyes @diyanddragons.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Reverse psychology is so real. One thing you want when you're a kid is to feel grown up. The allure of the forbidden is a big part of the appeal of books like "Flowers in the Attic." It's too mature for you! Parents don't want you to read it! 3130

Andrew Smith @intheologus.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Book clubs are best summoned to the reading mat by the correct incantation. 010
The Other David Harper @theotherdavidh.bsky.social · 07/09/2026As a ten-year-old, I desperately wanted to borrow books from the adult section of my local library. Fortunately, the librarian believed in encouraging youngsters to read, and was happy to bend the rules by giving me an adult reader's card. 020

Michael Daniels @credoabsurdum.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I read every scandalous, corrupt and ghastly book my high school English teacher told me not to read! 010

John T @jrtonca.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Reverse Psychology got me reading novels. I stole so many age inappropriate books off my parents' nightstands. I was reading Stephen King in elementary school. 020
Mark G. Bilby @mgbilby.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Brilliantly adorable. For the next installment, may I request a panel with Andy Samberg, "I threw it on the ground" energy, discarding a cell phone for a book? 010
François Potvin Naud @elfteiroh.bsky.social · 06/09/2026That fourth one... weirdly, my parents thought that "as long it's in a book, our kid can read it at any age no problems"... They had a FULL collection of Stephen King books, that they let me read as a kid (around 10yo). Heck, my mother GAVE me "Flowers in the Attic" at like, 12? ... xD 010
fatcat3g.bsky.social @fatcat3g.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Reverse psychology is the most realistic. Reading together is probably the least... 130
