A7: depends on the weather. if the weather is right I like the rocking chair on the deck. If the weather is not, I like the rocking recliner in my air conditioning. Now if I lived somewhere 72-75 and sunny all year long or if I had my own pool to stick my feet in, I’d be outside way more. #tlskychat

A6: Can it be a cast of characters? I think I’d like to hang with the James Ponti City Spies crew. Haha although that makes me seem a lot more brave and danger seeking than I really am! Certainly a lot of talent and interesting adventures for them! #tlskychat

A4: I’m usually on a committee for the state awards so I have to balance that required reading, & battle books I need to write questions for, plus whatever else I want to read. I’m such a mood reader, that balance sometimes is hard for me! I want to read what I want to when I want to. Lol #tlskychat

What I read to start the year:

Christie @psychteachlove.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

August reads were pretty sparse for my typical amount due to a return to work and big time added stress of a more than doubled courseload. September is shaping up to be just as sparse. I’ve finished only one book thus far, 50% of which I read in August. 😬

Currently reading: The Trouble with Heroes. And… @katemessner.com I do believe the only proper response to how’s it going? for the foreseeable future is “I am not lost in the woods or being stalked by a panther or getting swatted by a bear.”

Two of my favorite questions to ask when I am supporting students bookshopping: 1. What kind of experience are you looking for right now? 2. What do you have room for? Both get to the heart of considering not just what they are seeking but also what they have capacity for.
