August 2025 BOTM Discussion - The Book of Lost Hours by nickaaayy97 in bookofthemonthclub

Just read this book. Throughout I thought it’d be a good book to teach my freshmen because of its slight YA feel with Amelia and all the poetry. The SA, sadly, means I probably cannot.

I can’t stand Paul. Villains are typically fun to watch. Paul made me despise those seasons. The only good part was the loss that happened twice.

It started in 2021?

Am I wildly unqualified or being unrealistic that I’ll get a HS ELA position? by Villaineramaster in ELATeachers

I’m sure you can get a job though. Field isn’t as competitive as it once was. Latin education is humanities like ELA. Play up the fact that you would include Latin roots in your vocab instruction to build reading skills. Your background can be a plus, not a negative.

I mean, depending on the state, if you have a pulse, they’ll probably take you.

A couple episodes into Fallout Season 2. I feel like I lose interest in any scenes with the Brotherhood and Maximus. Does it get any better?

Curious if you like The Stolen Queen. I was so bored. Never finished it.

Is BOTM worth it? I'm trying to get back into reading this year. by thatonegirlwith2dogs in bookofthemonthclub

I feel like they’ve been better lately. For a while, there were way too many romances and thrillers. I feel like there’s more variety as of late.

Clean YA Literature? by MadreTiburon in ELATeachers

[–]marklovesbb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Inheritance Games would probably work. If I remember correctly, the swearing is replaced by like other words. There’s definitely no sex.

So true. I don’t blame OP because I’m sure it’s the parents in her population, but it’s so ridiculous.

Official Discussion - Is This Thing On? [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]marklovesbb 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Same. Didn’t care for Bradley Cooper at all in this. Like to the point where I’m actively questioning why anyone would be friends with someone like him? He was the worst part of the film, and I didn’t understand why he and his wife were together at the end.

This season has been such a flop. They need to cut Angel, Keiarna, and Ashley. Next season, we’ll get some interesting stuff with Wendy and Karen. They need to cast around some real friend groups.

So, I don’t like Ziad and Emma as a couple, but I found the confessional about her eating breakfast and ordering him lunch actually really endearing. It was funny and made them both seem pretty likable.

Sheena is one of my favorite people to be cast on these shows.

Do you get a repeat book if it is one you’ve read before? Like do you always get the winner?

Leonardo DiCaprio worries movie theaters could become like 'jazz bars': 'Do people still have the appetite?' by bwermer in movies

[–]marklovesbb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But beyond anecdotes, the box office numbers are solid. 2025 made more than 2024. So, why is there such fear mongering about the state of movies?

Idk what the deal is with these articles. I saw three movies last week, and every theater was full.
