#bookweek — Public Fediverse posts

Sigh… with the news that ai companies are destroying rare books to scan, it’s ironic to see an ai slop Book Week dress up day poster. How many arms does Alice have again? #aislop #GenAiSlop #BookWeek #Ai

Celebrating Books and Reading

Friends, the book week costume is complete 😍
Thank you for accompanying me on this jury-rigged adventure!

Sensitive images for eye contact, although it is cartoon eyes.

Oh. Someone's given my girl a further option for #BookWeek costume - one of the crayons from a book about crayons that go on adventures.
She's chosen a pink one.
So now we have to make a small girl a pink crayon costume. And try really hard to make her not look like a penis.

#BookWeek next week. Am going to be in control of the situation so have asked the girl which of two book characters she would like to go as.

We already have costumes for the two.

It'll be maybe the 4th outing for one of them, so #value.

Today's find at the Book Week fair in Budapest: catalog of Moldavian Csángó legend motifs. Including historical and belief legends. Gonna be very useful for storytelling research 😊

If you're near #Stromness get along to @fionaorkneynews #BookWeek book launch exhibition at Northlight gallery.

With lovely straw dollies by Sue Knowles for sale, raising funds for ORSAS.

The #exhibition includes some #pencil #illustration by me, historic photographs, and other information about this industry which many working women in #Orkney depended upon until the #industrialrevolution killed it off.

Exhibition ends on St. Andrew's #FairSaturday

A lot of Matildas (not the Roald Dahl character) today. #bookweek

I’m excluding my daughter’s rather prosaic princess costume (Galadriel, notionally) but I’d like to show off my son’s book week costume — a Nazgûl from Lord of the Rings (which I’ve been reading to them at bedtime for the last 250 years).

A pair of $7 gardening gloves, a $10 tablecloth, a black stocking, and a sword from the two dollar shop. Plus some fairly brief ingenuity at the sewing machine by my marvellous partner. #BookWeek

This #BookWeek, don’t stress about the costume and don’t worry about what the other mums or dads are sewing or buying.

Costumes are fun but what matters is to let your kid read what they enjoy.

You stayed up all night to make a Book Week costume – but now your child won’t wear it. In fact they don’t want to go at all! 😬📚

@DrFranDoyle from @westernsydneyu shares some ideas to try:

Next book we have is Treasure Island.

#DYK that pirates, like Captain Bartholomew “Black Bart” Roberts, had a welfare system in place?

It’s true, pirates had access to “worker’s compensation” and received a portion of their treasure if injured in a raid. The larger the injury the larger the treasure!

It’s #BookWeek once again and we at DW Tutoring have kicked it off with Lily Wu’s book Peacock Girl!

Happy reading and we hope you have a great weekend.
