A1 Of course Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one that I love for the creativity and the fact that the original (Gene Wilder) movie lives up to my impression of the book! #Read4Fun
A1 I have not stopped thinking about In the Unlikely Event by @judyblume since I read it the week it was released. Lots to think about in that story! #Read4Fun
Hi! My name is Katie Buhler, I am a preservice educator at Kansas State University and I recently finished “Brown Girl Dreaming” by Jacqueline Woodson! #edtechksu#pstpln#goodreads#Read4Fun
Two books that I read years ago that have stayed with me are Random Family: Love, Drugs, Trouble, and Coming of Age in the Bronx and The Other Wes Moore. Both gave me insight into worlds very different from my own. #Read4Fun
Glad you could join us! Love your profile pic; my maiden name was Albright, and I have a sweatshirt from your campus! This is a great era for picture books. The advances in tech and printing have yielded so many fabulous books! #Read4fun
A2 I made a xmas tree with my TBR pile and found I probably could have made at least two or three more!! I should have kept it up and dismantled as I read so they would no longer be TBR! #Read4Fun
Not having little ones in my house kept me away from that genre but now lots of littles to buy books for. I have to read it before i gift it! #Read4Fun
#read4fun A2 YUP!!! Placing an order tomorrow! I have Playing With Matches for after The Library!
Will add to TBR pile 😊📚
Citizen Illegal is for > #thebookchat the others here sound good!
#read4fun Attending local book club meet up tomorrow night; could not put this one down! Read it in one afternoon! So much history & learning woven alongside captivating story! Ending may surprise you!
I don't ever think I'll run out of things to read, but there are times that I just don't know what to read even though I have many unread books in my house. These are a few on my kindle waiting to be read. #read4fun
A2: My TBR "piles" are all over, on various bookshelves around the house, in my car, on my iPad/phone/laptop. Then there are the lists, on Goodreads, Google Docs, evernote, GoogleKeep, & even physical lists in journals, calendars.... In other words, I'll never run out! #Read4Fun
As a college student minoring in Children’s Literature I am rarely without reading! Here is a picture of some of the books I have read or am preparing to read in my Multicultural Children’s Literature class (plus a few personal choices)! #Read4Fun
A3 I have not really engaged in many audiobooks. I feel like I need to focus on the story and trying to multitask while listening did not work for me. #Read4Fun
A3 I love listening to a person reading live and prefer that to an audiobook. I really feel that audiobooks do not give me the same experience as reading the book myself. #Read4Fun
Same here! Although I'm trying to be better about taking things out of my car that don't belong there so I don't think I have any tbr books in there anymore. #Read4Fun
Same here! My friend asked me how much I think I would get if I sold my books and puzzles for $1 each. She had me thinking for a minute but I think it would be some serious numbers! #Read4Fun
A3: A colleague and good friend of mine swears by audio books but they do nothing for me; I can’t stay focused. I need to hold & smell (I know...that’s weird) a #book. I always have a book in my purse or bag-kids love to see what I am reading!
#read4fun
A3: I would not enjoy as many books without audiobooks, but it is different when I have an actual book in my hands. Seeing the words, being able to reread and digest it! #Read4Fun

Recently read an ARC of The Dollar Kids which has been recently released. This is a wonderful story that I recommend for all to read! On my holiday gift list for sure! #Read4Fun@CandlewickClass@Candlewick
A3: Was never big audiobooks user until Jim Dale reading Harry Potter. Now it's so easy to listen by connecting my phone to bluetooth in the car. I like to listen while walking, at the gym, or doing mundane tasks. I do have to hit "rewind" a lot when I miss things! #Read4Fun
Me neither. I used to listen to audiobooks when I had a 40 minute commute. I don't live far enough from work to listen in the car. If I listen to anything while I'm around the house it would be a podcast. #Read4Fun
Hard to believe it's time to go! Thanks for joining #Read4Fun Chat tonight! Keep posting your recommendations using the # for all of us to see!
See you next time!
