THIS!! UPVOTE IF YOU AGREE

Perfectly put.

Nice exchange between nice people that tries to understand each other. Should be more of these on the Internet.

The last sentence explains it perfectly. Although there is an expiration date and that is death.

As someone who once worked in payroll, if you want to make money go into waste removal. If you want an interesting job go into any science or engineering field.

So caring and understanding of them ♥

Me: yeah, I'm really into real ales and metal music. Rando: oh really? What year was the first IPA sold internationally and what blood type is James Hatfield?

So many schoolboys protesting their school's dresscode by wearing skirts (not allowed to wear shorts in the heat). Why not just keep the skirt? They are amazingly comfortable in the summer :)

exactly

It doesn’t matter if you read classic literature, crime fiction, graphic novels or young adult stories…reading what you enjoy is the whole point.

This is how Christianity SHOULD be, everywhere.

AMEN!!!! Just yesterday I was subjected to the evil looks of a guy who wanted to read a book while I wanted to talk with my friend. Dude, it's a CAFE! Not a librabry! It#s a place wher epeople meet to have coffe and cake and a chat. You want peace and quiet? go to a a library or a co-working space.

Love this! I can’t imagine that’s not the response she usually gets

SO agree with this. Am trying to be vegan but I live in a cheese country.... love cheese TOO MUCH! I keep trying the vegan cheeses though. One day they will be good enough.

This is so sweet!

This is so me. My playlist can go from Metallica to Backstreet Boys to Beethoven's 5th

Speak for yourself. I knew both songs well before either of those were released. But then I'm old, my bones creak, and half the time I can't even remember my own name!

He looks so happy and proud 🥹

Well said Rob, couldn’t agree more

Haha this is smart marketing

Why is gaining knowledge on electronics specifically cell phones etc seen as a bad thing?

🥰

This is so beautiful

FINALLY! THANK YOU! That meme annoyed me forever until THIS BEAUTY!!! This meme was so stereotypical and p!ssed me RIGHT OFF! :D

It’s ok to feel whatever you feel - don’t let anyone tell you different

Honestly, apparently some other countries have been mocking us in the UK for not being 'able to handle the heat'...WE'RE NOT CONDITIONED FOR IT! Most of us vary between glow-in-the-dark white and cooked lobster red! WE ARE GOOD AT RAIN!

its a very good analogy for trans people i suppose Klingons dont care what gender you are as long as you a warrior with honour

"Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever." - Neil Gaiman. Love him 😊

in that case, i will leave the note stickers on my piano keys, and continue to play with one hand, until i am ready to play with both hands 😁

If only

I needed this. I only just completed my 3rd book for the year - its been difficult to find time to sit and read. I am trying to fill more time by reading rather than being online. I hope to have read at least 5 books by the end of the year

👌👌

I agree wholeheartedly with that sign. I've never quite understand the whole concept of "young adult books". Aren't you limiting the potential audience by stating the industry's target audience? Who even makes the decisions: "yeah, this is a young adult book".

my mum always told me, i'm too old for young aduldt books (when i was around 20). But i think, young adults is just the starting age? like the books for 8y.o.+ are also for kids who are 10 years and older?

I read quite a lot of YA books. I struggle with reading now due to some of the medication I am on and find that YA is a nice compromise as the language generally isn't quite as complicated as some of the other books I used to read. They are also printed in a slightly bigger font which helps me so much. My current favourites are The Chronicles of Ixia by Maria V Snyder.

Every middle school teaches To Kill a Mockingbird. It’s one of my all-time favorite books that I reread every year. I first read Little Women when I was a young girl. It’s another book I reread often. It is amazing just how different the story is when you read it at a different age and with more life experience than the last time you read it. THAT’S the glory of reading well-written classic literature, written by authors who really understand human nature and human experience.

I'm still mad that when I was 13 the librarian shooed me out of the children's section, as I was reading picture books...picture books are for all ages and at 24 I enjoy them still!

I've read Harry Potter several times, and I was "too old" for it when it came out.

I love this and I love YA.

One of my favorite children's books is Varjak Paw and its follow up book; one day I was in the children's section trying to find the 3rd book in the series (there isn't one, sigh) - someone approached me and asked me if I needed any help using 'that' tone of voice (loud, high-pitched, slow words) used to speak to young children (I am 73). It was an interesting interaction but got cleared up when I explained the situation. I suggest everyone read the Varjak Paw books

i almost exclusively read kids books now. they are amazing. for years i read adult books, and i mostly didn't enjoy them. i do love me some fantasy though. but i just find myself so much more engaged by childrens books (usually those aimed at ages 8+), and excited when i find new ones to read :D

i have a bunch of Beverly Clearys (RIP dear lady) books on my kindle and still read them. children's and ya both.

I have bought and read teen books and I am 30 with 25 extra years of experience.

I'm a 30 year old librarian. I'm also the one in charge of the YA section of our county library. Most of my check outs are YA. I find that the themes and ideas are better than a lot of the adult fiction we have, and we have manga/western comics, and more fanciful content than a lot of the standard fiction section.

Since I started reading ya with my kid, so we could discuss books, I've read more than I have since I was a teen. fiction is fun again! Keeper of the Lost cities, Magnus Chase, Shadowhunters... Can't wait to reread mists of Avalon now!

Hell yes! Christopher Pike for life!
