When is the right time to disturb a book lover?

Interrupting a reader at the wrong time can lead to:

  • An uncomfortable atmosphere.
  • A glare.
  • A snarl.
  • Muttering under the breath.
  • An angry outburst.
  • Bad thoughts about you forming inside the reader’s head.
  • Danger.

Don’t panic because I have some advice:

If you spot any of these warning signs then it is best to leave your reader alone:

  1. Your reader is engrossed in a book and is totally relaxed. Don’t spoil a lovely reading moment by disturbing them.

This year (2019) finds me with 50 years of teaching "under my belt." I have taught all levels from pre-K "(library lady" or "book lady"--volunteer) to juniors, seniors, and graduate students enrolled in my Advanced Writing class at the university where I have just completed 30 years. My first paying teaching job was junior high, and I spent 13 years with ages 12-13, the "difficult years." I had some of the "funnest" experiences with this age group. When I was no longer the "young, fun teacher," I taught in an elementary school setting before sixth graders went on to junior high, teaching language arts blocs, an assignment that was a "dream-fit" for me. After completing graduate school in my 40s, I went on to community college, then university teaching. Just as teaching is "in my blood," so is a passion for reading, writing, libraries, and everything bookish. This blog will be open to anyone who loves books, promotes literacy and wants to "come out and play."
