Here are 15 things I thought were worth sharing:
  1. How is your Goodreads Reading Challenge going? If you need help adding books to your list, check out what tops the lists of other readers!
  2. Speaking of book challenges, check out the 3,599 books that Dan Pelzer read in his lifetime! 
  3. BookCon is coming back!! See you there!
  4. Love words & NYC?
  5. Don’t throw away your printed books!
  6. The Brooklyn Book Festival is one of the best things that happens here each fall! 
  7. Are you a movie person who loves to get interesting recs from interesting people?
  8. Are you a movie person AND a History teacher? Check this out!
  9. Are you a podcast person? Then check out this list from Time Magazine!
  10. A tasty way to look at history!
  11. I don’t often recommend TV shows, but I have to put in a plug for PBS’s​ Human Footprint! Rarely have I watched an informational series that seems able to pull together seemingly disparate threads and keep me on the edge of my seat in the process! My favorite episodes are the supermarket (S2.1), the history of cotton (S1.6), and global fashion (S2.3). Let me know what you think! 
  12. Take advantage of the beautiful and world-famous cemetery we are lucky enough to work so close to! 
  13. My annual plug for this eclectic and uplifting news aggregate source, created by a rock music icon!
  14. It’s almost time for you to dig into lesson planning and grading, so here are some chill music resources for you.
  15. Do you have creative students who want to help celebrate our country’s 250th Birthday and maybe win some money in the process?
