  That man was so right about the Invention Of Hugo Cabret. An incredible children's book. So intricate and intriguing and creative. Love it.

  Love how enthusiastic everyone was, and how comfortable you’ve gotten with asking from the first video. Now I have to rewatch and write down some of the books.

  Please please read Flowers for Algernon. It follows Charlie, who has a mental disability and he undergoes an experiment that could increase his level of intelligence. It is so heartbreaking in the most incredible way.

  Omg that girl convinced ME to read if we were villains! I’ve kinda wanted to read it for a while but I wasn’t fully sure of the plot and themes but she made it so much clearer and it sounds INCREDIBLE

  As a librarian, I wanna thank you for not shaming that young lady who doesn&apos;t read. Not everybody reads, and that&apos;s OKAY. There are different forms of literacy, and some folks who don&apos;t read have higher levels of other types of literacy and we can learn a lot from them. Reading, while amazing, is not something we should moralize. Thank you for being encouraging &amp; non-judgemental.
