Sorry if I missed this already recommendation, I have one nephew that is turning 10 and he doesn't like to read much. He's in to fencing and minecraft games but I want to get him books too! I also have another nephew who will be in 1st grade and not sure what to start him off on! Thank you in advance!

11 year old boy who doesn’t read much/minecraft/fencing

In about four years you are going to give that 10 year old Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and absolutely blow his mind! In the meantime …

If he’s into comic books try Squish by Jennifer Holm or Bone by Jeff Smith or Lunch Lady by Jarrett Krosoczka.

The obvious answer to a 10 year old boy reluctant reader is Big Nate by Lincoln Pierce but I worry that he’s already been exposed to that because it is what all the 10 year old boy reluctant readers are reading.

Zombie Chasers by John Kloepfer could be just what makes him a reader - zombies invading, middle school boys need to save the day.

The Marvelous Effect by Troy CLE might also be just what he needs (side note: the audiobook is read my Malcolm Jamal Warner which made it better!) Aliens are taking over the town and 13 year old Louis Proof has to fix it.

irishmexi replied to your post: storytime, wknd edition:

I meaaaaan I may have had a dream where I was dating will ferrell last night sooooo bill hader is okay!

so you mean to say you had a nightmare? not gonna lie, laughter's a relatively easy way to my pants heart (not really easy but you see what i mean, funny men are the best men even though i guess a lot of hilarious dudes are also depressed/fucked up, but that's a conversation for another day!) so maybe if i'd been hanging out with *actual* Bill Hader the other night instead of this acquaintance i might've danced somewhat inappropriately w/ him too but ughhh will ferrell is kinda the worst, im sry your subconscious took you there~

let's say, hypothetically, there is a disaster of a situation. Almost hoarders-esq & you want to get started (& YOU WILL/ARE, RIGHT NOW, AS YOU'RE TYPING THIS, hypothetically) and maybe, you had at one point adopted the "well you should just throw it out if you haven't used it in forever & you dont even know what's in that drawer" method. But after clearing off a bit, you found some useful things! Do you spend the time going through things/keeping important items or still just throw away?

Everything can be useful somehow. If you're in a Hoarders-type situation, you need to let go of "potentially useful" and focus on "this shit is creating an unhealthy and possibly dangerous living situation." Take no prisoners. Kill 'em all. Get rid of it. If something is actually important, it won't be at the bottom of a pile of trash or stuffed in the back of a drawer.

Items are not important. The health, safety, and sanity of the person in this hypothetical disaster situation are.
