When in Doubt, Go to the Library

Hello people :) Mariah here, with a special message to everyone who follows me, my collections, my meme fam, my quote fam, and anyone who even bothers to look at any of my cards. ^^ To start off, I have something I just have to say. :) edit made by me I have recently gotten 5,000 followers, and a friend of mine on the team inspired me to do this.. I wasnt going to at first, but you all deserve it. :) And a quick personal thank you to her. She's absolutely fantastic. ^^ The thing is, another friend of mine on Vingle, who is also on the team, found out for me that when a new user makes an account, you automatically follow the top popular accounts in the interest you take. I honestly dont care about numbers. I just care about making cards of BTS and making you guys happy with them. ^^ That same friend has told me millions of times that I deserve the number of followers I have. (Thank you for always keeping my spirits up, by the way.) But the thing is... I don't think I do. :) You all have given me so much support and many happy thoughts. I'd be the same me as I always have been even without the follower count. Even though most of the followers I have follow me unwillingly, I'm thankful to those of you who actually enjoy my cards. :) ❤ The reason why this is tagged in the JapaneseAnime and Quotes tag is because I want to thank all of you otakus and quote lovers who have been with me since Day 1 of when I posted my first card to Vingle, 'Quote #1'. MY VERY FIRST CARD!!! Thank you for sticking by me these past... Woah... 2 years! You guys are awesome, really. ಥ⌣ಥ But unfortunately, as I said 100 quotes ago, I'll be ending the quotes at 700. (┳Д┳) But the collection will have 701. (Yeah I know it bothers the hell out of me too..) My two year anniversary of when I first posted a card to Vingle is coming up. November 30th, 2015 I believe. :) I don't know if I'll do anything for that, but I just wanted to state it to show how far I've come on Vingle. ^^ (Don't judge me, let me be proud of myself... ;-; ) Anyways! Thank you everyone, who has read this far. :)  And those who were tagged for daily quotes.. it was nice posting for you all. ^^ But this will be the last time I put this tag list in a card. ╥﹏╥ ♡ Tag List ♡: @joshhsherer @Sugasadamsapple @LeaEsterline @rubychan19 @SimplyAwkward @animelord @AlexisRiver @SteveZuniga @antwonbro12 @LoneRose72 @jazminramirez9 @xigot7forlifex @CrazyOtaku3 @GhoulGasterIRL @MasonBurt @assasingod @crimsonsasuke @xDaisyDaysx @IztimZeugirdor @kouvarisb @DorianBeil @lopleaf19 @Dragonshaow @Dynasty5789 @Nyxxonn @padfoot77 @simpsonsamantha @ZombieDragon @FlotiNMusiCNotE @ChristopherKenn @JackBlink @jeonstussy @Subtilitas And I hope all ARMY are ready for more Bangtan cards from me as I part ways with anime. ^^ Everyone.

I just saw a card posted by @KalynHay about wishing boys from Anime were IRL boys too. It got me thinking about fictional characters I would LOVE to come to life. 1. Poe from Star Wars I know, I know, he's meant to be with Finn, but come on he seems like such an awesome, chill guy who happens to be handsome and smart and a badass. What's not to love? 2. Peeta from The Hunger Games Yo, he'll make you bread 24/7. He's honest and kind and pretty open with his feelings (which in the long run is really important for a relationship). But really I'm all about the bread. 3. Shuichi Nakatsu from Hana Kimi If you haven't seen the Japanese drama Hana Kimi, you should think about changing that stat. This guy is the second lead, totally open to falling in love with the main lead regardless of their gender and he's funny as hell. Seems like a totally hilarious, chill guy! 4. Tombo from Kiki's Delivery Service Alright so he's a little clumsy and annoying at first but he's genuinely so intersted in Kiki and flying. And he's just so ENTHUSIASTIC. Enthusiasm for something is a big win for me, being passionate and knowledgable about one thing is super cool. Who are some fictional characters YOU'D totally date?!

Sometimes there is nothing I love more than curling up with a collection of poetry to get me thinking or feeling creative again. These four young poets have put together thought-provoking pieces about love and loss that I hope all of you will enjoy! Milk and Honey Rupi Kaur Focusing on being a strong, confident woman in love, this collection will show you new ways to think about beauty and coexistence. Chasers of the Light Tyler Knott Gregson Written on a typewriter so his work could not be edited, Gregson shares some of my favorite poetry I've ever read. The Anatomy of Being Shinji Moon Moon breaks down her love story into anatomy, with imagery of the human body that reminds you that love isn't separate from us, but a part of us. I Wrote This For You pleasefindthis Everything pleasefindthis touches is wonderful. His short poems or thoughts make you look at the most mundane things in a totally new way. Does anyone else have a collection of poetry they've enjoyed? Anyone just enjoy reading whatever they find?

Isn't?

Who can add to this!?

Here's an excellent article by Colby and Aliana Sharp, about how they are raising their three (soon to be four) children as readers. Colby is a founding member of The Nerdy Book Club, and I've followed his blog for years, but this insight into how he and his wife foster a love of reading at home provides great tips to share with parents. I've always believed surrounding children with books makes it inevitable that they will explore them, even if they can't read them yet. Corralling them on a single bookcase means books are easier to overlook. Remember, books are competing in most houses for attention. Leave them everywhere--they're not clutter, they're decor:) Be a reader yourself. One of my friends, an avid reader and book reviewer, remembers her mother stirring a pot with a book in her hand. Dinner was often overcooked, but reading was established as something very important! For some of us, local bookstores are a thing of the past, but the internet can allow you to connect your child with authors, keep up to date on new releases, and yes, seek out those elusive author visits, even if you have to drive a bit. Other tips that Colby and Aliana share include giving books as gifts (that's all I send my nieces and nephews. Scour the end of the year best book lists if you're not familiar with new children's books, or give classics that you enjoyed.) Also, frequent visits to the library to ensure you have a great selection--our library allows unlimited checkouts, and I love seeing a child carrying a large sack of books out the door. While you're at the library, be sure to explore all there is on offer--let your children pick out CDs or videos, play with puzzles or toys, etc. Our library has an outdoor space connected to the children's library. Believe me, creating positive memories about the library don't just have to involve books, but they will get kids back in the door when they're older! There are several other interesting tips in this article, so be sure to read it in its entirety, then share with parents with young ones.

Who are your favorites? Mine are Fred and George, of course. (; And Professor Snape and Draco follow closely behind ~

Hey guys! This isn't a holiday most people know about but its SO IMPORTANT! It's National Library Workers Day! Alright so you might not be thinking this is a huge deal BUT librarians, library technicians, and library aides all around the world (right this very second!) are helping someone learn something new, discover a new world, and best of all, to fall in love with reading. If that isn't enough for you - Why you should love libraries: 1. Libraries serve a vital social service by helping bridge social gaps. No matter what your background is, if you have access to a library, you have access to literacy and computer training. They give you resources to learn as well as people to teach you! 2. Libraries have been around for 5,000 years. They contain a TON of info as well as trained people to help you find whatever you're looking for. 3. Libraries can act as safe havens for students at school. For those with anxiety or for those who do not feel comfortable around their peers, the library is a peaceful escape. 4. Libraries provide support for job seekers via free access to the internet to search for and respond to job applications, and by helping them to improve their employability skills. Among a thousand reasons why you should be proud of library workers, I'm especially fond of this day because my mom is a public school library tech! She worked at the elementary and middle school levels and has been changing kids lives for almost a decade! (Actually, maybe more than a decade?!) It was her dream job since she was little and even though it took her a while, she finally got her own library :) Look! She's even holding a ridiculously large book as a small child! She is never without a book in her hand, car, or purse haha! (But really that's a bible my grandpa had to swear on to become fire chief, but that's besides the point) Also, my mom has a Tardis in her school library. PLUS! She puts in the extra effort to keep her library up with the times. That means focusing part of the small budget on graphic novels since that has proven to be the best way to get middle school boys excited about reading. Or focusing on responsible internet use, how to do research on and offline, and of course, how to find the books you won't want to put down! So if you see or know someone who works or volunteers in a library, thank them for everything they do!

This would be great for a display about friendship gone awry,secrets, gossiping, judging others and so many more "problem novels". And we can all benefit from taking this advice!

This would be a great sign to add to your library entrance!

A great quote for a general book display (because sometimes you just don't have enough of a genre left to make a display!)

I had a long discussion with 6th graders about novels today. Reading a novel about a problem you deal with can be incredibly comforting to a child. Knowing you're not the only one facing something helps, even if the characters are fictional.

Babies are going to chew on books. They have done so since the dawn of, well, books, I guess! Here are some adorable board books that are also reasonably priced, because as much as you want to treasure your child's beloved books, saving one that's been gummed to pieces just isn't appealing. Once they are past the chewing stage, almost all of these are available in hardcover or paperback, too. Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney is a beautiful story for bedtime. Repeated reading will be requested! Good Night Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann will bring out the giggles. It's virtually wordless, and your child will delight in reading the story through the illustrations. Where Is the Green Sheep by Mem Fox is a perennial favorite. The rhyming text will have your toddler asking "Where?" and delightedly pointing out the green sheep to you. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? written by Bill Martin Jr. is another simple rhyming text full of Eric Carle's gorgeous collages. A fun way to reinforce colors, too! Goodnight, Moon by Margaret Wise Brown needs little introduction. A tranquil book at the end of a toddler's busy day, it will also work its calming magic on you! Moo, Baa, La La La by Sandra Boynton was one of the favorite board books in our house. Silly rhymes and humorous illustrations will have your toddler giggling and asking for multiple re-readings. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr and John Archambault, with Lois Ehlert's illustrations, is a bouncing rhyme of an alphabet book that will stick in your head for days. The simple and bright illustrations will delight toddlers. The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is another perennial top 10. Carle's vibrant collages seem to jump off the page, and your toddler will giggle at the caterpillar's appetite, and wonder over the beautiful butterfly he becomes. I've also included a few videos, featuring Eric Carle reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar and a read along version of Moo Baa La La La. This is just the tip of the tip of the iceberg when it comes to board books, so be sure to explore your local bookstore for more!

Guys don't worry of what your partner thinks of you 24/7 you'll overthink and worry about the whole idea of you guys dating and they really like you which im pretty sure they do If they don't text back, no sweat, they're probably busy and I'm sure they'll talk to you and sure as they can, but don't have yourself feeling lonely and waiting, watch/rewatch your favorite show, talk to a friend or sing to the top of your lungs Communication is key, if something's bothering or you see some issue in the relationship, talk to them about it, dont go and talk to someone else about the problem, cause the problem ain't going anywhere well it can but you gotta do it yourself sometimes it's gonna be hard and your friends are also there to to help yes but you should be able to trust your partner and build a relationship with them oof im not a therapist so im sorry any who if you're in a toxic relationship get away from them! you shouldn't allow yourself to stay with someone you don't genuinely love because you don't want to hurt their feelings or are too afraid to, this is your life and they cannot keep you from leaving them yea idk what im doing i just hope you guys get what im trying to say

Beauty and the Beast: I saw this posted on Facebook (original artist was not tagged, sorry!) and people were discussing whether or not the story could be written this way. Some people said no, because the princesses always needed to be pretty to appeal to the audience, or that men would never give a hideous woman a chance... Others said that this could totally work, and would have possibly made an even more interesting story! For me, I can't imagine a "beastly" girl with a horrible attitude (because remember, Beast is really mean in the beginning) having a handsome man fall in love with her. I could see if she had a nice personality and looked like an animal it could work, but not if she was mean. And why is that!? Why is it always okay for the men to be assholes in the beginning (think of so many romantic comedies!) but we give them a chance anyway. It's so rare that rude women eventually soften and become the love interest. I'm surprised by myself that I can't imagine it. Very strange... I'd love to hear what you think!
