Every Friday, we share a handful of links we found interesting, provocative, funny — or just plain cool. We call it In Our Feeds. Have a great weekend!
Can you believe January has come and gone? Here's what caught our collective eye this frigid last week of the month. Have a lovely weekend!
I love this NPR round-up of picture books that will make you wish you were a kid again. I'd add Curious George, Madeline, and anything by Eric Carle to the list.
Also on my radar this week: a moving Op-Ed by Charles M. Blow on Why Reading is Fundamental, new research on the global illiteracy rate, and the staggering piece in The Huffington Post that claims it would take $26 billion dollars—almost exactly how much money we allocate for professional golf each year—to provide basic education to every child in the U.S.
Nadia found this amazing piece on "Sensory Fiction" — a new technologically advanced book that lets readers better feel what they're reading. "The book has LED lights, air pressure bags, vibration patterns, and a heating device to help influence the experience of the reader."
Valentine's Day is still a few weeks away, but Michael and Brittany both felt the need to share these "Literary Valentines For the Romantic Reader in All of Us". I'm glad they did because they. are. amazing. Especially J.K.Rowling's.
Lia, my adorably grammatically obsessed fellow blogger, shared this article on the single vs. double-space-after-a-period debate. (I have been right all these years!)
And finally, if you get bored watching the Super Bowl this weekend, you should probably paint an entire chapter from Charlotte's Web on your fingernails.
