All of those comments on the Swindle post. ? It looks like a whole sixth grade class.
Ha! Yeah, I think so. I enjoyed that
I just went down the rabbit hole and read all of the Unfortunate Covers posts! Too funny! I should have taken pictures at my school last week….I weeded 200 paperbacks that were added to the collection in 2000 and had never been checked out! Average date of publication was 1988. SO many “apple” books! Seriously…how did I miss that opportunity? 😉
This. Was. Amazing.
Ha!Thanks!
