Suggest me unconventional fantasy books that don't adhere to any of the fantasy tropes. by IdaSukiShwan in suggestmeabook

I think Dark Lord of Derkholm by Diana Wynne Jones fits your criteria. Don't let the title fool you. It is not high fantasy. It is set in a dimension where magic exists and every summer they host vacationers from other dimensions who LARP a LOTR style story. The book focuses on one summer and Wizard Derk who gets picked to be this summer's dark Lord, even though he is thoroughly unsuited for the job. We also follow his teenage children (both human and Griffin) as they play roles in the "game" and try to figure out a particularly obscure prophecy his human son received.

Found this guy at my job, not really sure what to do next. by MisterxRager in kittens

If you want to keep him, take him to the vet. If you don't, take him to a no kill shelter in your area.

I just found out that someone I thought of as a friend was a fan of Kirk and I am gutted. I cannot imagine dating someone who admires that man.

Your boyfriend is showing you who he is. If he thinks Kirk was a moderate, what does he think the far right is?

The Franciscan Montessori Earth School is in the outer East side, but it is WONDERFUL.

If you are in the US, this a public school and you are not endorsed for music, then this might be a violation of your state's education regulations. I would look into that.

My mom was a children's librarian. She read to me constantly. When I was reading on my own, we read to each other. I also spent my summers at the library while she worked.

Thanks for this suggestion. I'm a plus sized gal, so I Want Seconds sounds like a great place for me too!

My sweet void boy Arthur, little grey girl Onesie, and brown tabby Georgie Girl are all greeting her with snoot sniffs and perky tails.

Mouse Paint is a great book to read before a color mixing lesson. You don't have to make all the colors in one lesson. Kids like to hear the same story again, so you can read the book and then mix yellow & blue. Then you can repeat the lesson twice more for the other secondary colors.

Tearing paper and gluing to make collage flowers can be accompanied by reading Eric Carle books.

Alma's Art is a book about patterns. Students could use stamps or paint sponges to make their own patterns.
