RAE’S READS

about

This year (2025) finds me with 53 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 34 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. This past fall I accepted a part-time teaching job at Apogee Gulf Coast Schools in its first year at the Alvin campus. After my Better Half died n 2022, I achieved a lifelong dream: opening a bookstore of my own, Rae’s Reads. A year later, I sold the house we had lived in for 47 years and moved into the bookstore. My goal is to circulate and repurpose books. 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.”

National I Love to Write Day

History of I Love to Write Day

Delaware-based author John Riddle created I Love to Write Day in 2002. John Riddle has a habit of writing books for the past thirty years, and he had written nearly 34 books so far. The main aim behind the creation of this day is to have people of all ages to spend some time writing. I Love to Write Day is observed by many different organizations, schools, churches, community halls, and even shopping centres.  It includes all genres, from novels to poetry to writing into your local newspaper with the circumstance that you have always wanted to make but never found time for before. Riddle said “Peoples can write a poem, letter, greeting card, short story, essay, novel, and the possibilities are endless. They need to be challenged in this modern era, and writing is the best way to express themselves.” He also said I Love To Write Day has the capability of producing another Mary Higgins Clark, John Grisham, Stephen King or Toni Morrison. Hence it is a perfect day to write something on the paper.

    I didn’t know today was such a special day! It seems like a wonderful idea especially in today’s age where everyone prefers to ‘type’ rather than write. I agree it’s more or less the same but writing on paper has a certain beauty in itself! Happy I Love To Write Day to you too! 💕
