My classroom Slides, teaching materials, emails, personal notes—all littered with em dashes. Emily Dickinson would be proud.

I usually read a preview of the first pages on line, then buy a physical copy when they’re in collection. I love consuming an entire storyline.

But as a kid, there was nothing better than buying the next issue off of the rotating rack!

4-5 books at a time here, but I wish I had the time to read 1 book straight through…and then start another.

But I usually choose the best book for the moment.
