Bookish Banter: An Introduction

 

Welcome, fellow bookworms, literary enthusiasts, and avid page-turners! Prepare to embark on a journey through the realm of words, where ink dances, and stories come alive. I’ve been playing with a question you might be wondering, as well: Why should I bother with another book blog in the vast literary galaxy? Well, perhaps this will not be like every other book blog. 


Some hopes of this blog are to provide a literary sanctuary for our kindred literary spirits where literature and wit intertwine to create a tapestry of literary revelry. But, wait, there’s more! This blog will be a platform for book reviews and recommendations. This blog will be a virtual gathering to dissect the nuances of prose, unravel the mysteries of plot twists, delve into character development (or lack thereof), and unleash an endless arsenal of wit.  


Whether you’re a voracious reader, an aspiring writer, or simply seeking refuge from the mundane world, let this blog, published every Sunday, be your literary sanctuary. This reading odyssey will bring to you up and coming books with a focus on children’s fiction, comics, graphic novels, and YA. Anything goes, as everyone's reading journey is a remarkable adventure through the pages of books. And, it doesn’t stop there. 


On the final Sunday of each month, you will find yourself experiencing an extraordinary twist of fate as I, the esteemed principal of an elementary school, will take on the role of reader and enter the realm of literature and principal as literacy leader. Even principals need a break from endless paperwork, bell-ringing chaos, and food on the floor of the cafeteria. 


Together, we will traverse genres – from spine-tingling mysteries to whimsical fantasies, from thought-provoking literary fiction to unabashed guilty pleasures. As a reader-turned-principal, my passion for literature knows no boundaries. You may even experience some adventures of Marshmallow (this is your cliffhanger …)! 


Welcome to the extraordinary universe of books and the enchanting world of this book blog.

Principal Literacy Series: Effective ELA instruction and High Expectations [Guest Blog: David Hardesty]

I have been in education for 19 years, 10 of those as an elementary building principal at Linford Elementary School in Albany County School District #1. Early on in my tenure at Linford, our district adopted a new English Language Arts program in 2017. I knew this would be a massive undertaking for our district and school community. However, it was a change that was needed for our students. I will also add, this was not a super popular idea among most teachers.  The program was a significant shift from the prior programming and required new learning for teachers and, in some cases, a shift in philosophy. The most notable shift was the more intentional, repeated reading of the same text (close reading) and increased rigor within the writing portion.  Let’s pause there ... Fast forward to the fall of 2023.  I was sitting in my office at Linford when I received our Wyoming Accountability Report. I was ecstatic to see that our school had achieved the designation of Exceeding ...

Middle Grade Mondays: A Weekly Adventure in Books

Lovers of middle grade books know their transformative power.  Geared toward readers ages 8-12, middle grade stories create a bridge for readers between early chapter books and young adult novels (for more about differences between the types of books, read this Writer’s Digest article).  While the age range does not equate to the age of middle schoolers, the purposes behind middle grade books and what middle school students might learn are often the same: encourage empathy, boost literacy skills, and foster critical thinking.  Recent Middle School Gems to Explore At the 2024 National Council of Teachers of English annual convention, the award committee of the Charlotte Huck Award for Outstanding Fiction for Children named a winner, five honor books, and eight recommended books. What follows are three middle grade Honor books. ( Link HERE for the complete list of winners ).  Middle Grade Honor Books This novel-in-verse fosters empathy by addressing topics of poverty,...

The Perfect Doubleheader: Books and MLB Opening Day

Baseball is my favorite season, and Opening Day, my favorite holiday.  I have been a baseball fan for as long as I can remember.  I collected baseball cards in elementary school. Michael Senner, with his Beckett’s Baseball Card Price Guide tucked under his arm at every recess, let me know in no uncertain terms that I should have never, NEVER put a pin through the white strip at the top of the Topp’s Jose Canseco rookie card and tacked it to my bulletin board. It did not matter to Michael Senner that I thought Jose Canseco was cute.  Going to my grandparent’s house in Sidney, Montana, as a child, my cousins had the Chicago Cubs game on every day with Harry Carey in the booth. By default, I felt I had to be a Cubbies fan. Ryne Sandburg was my favorite player, and I could not wait to tell Michael Senner that I did NOT tack his baseball card to my bulletin board.  When you grow up in eastern Montana with no nearby metropolitan area, fans have some choices on favorite te...
