I believe this is how I got into Harry Potter


I actually went to Barnes & Noble's for the release of the 5th book

That initial sight of the the box in the corner of the classroom was like spotting a damn treasure chest.

Yoooo, I remember certain assignments we were allowed to grade ourselves. I used to cop the pens with 4 colors from there (red, black, blue, green), and would front when we supposed to be grading. Changing my answers & shyt as she’s going through answers since the teacher wouldn’t know what ink or pen I was using.

In fourth grade I was doing that shyt heavy.

I remember being jealous of the other kids when I didn't get anything lol

lol me too Id be in the corner like:

"oh your mama got you a bunch of book huh, wait until recess Chip"


But then he shared his fruit snacks with me so we was cool



I do remember getting the packs of football and minor league baseball cards, they were cheap

even though I rarely got anything it was fun to get out of class to browse, I didnt give a fukk about books at that age except Arthur and I had that in tv form


Great thread really brought back memories

 

[Bonefan32]

shyt was GOAT.


I remember copping a spongebob PC game from there one year, played that bytch religiously.

computer games, damn the computer games were on a big flimsy floppy disc when I was in elementary, used to sneak early in the morning and play the only game the school had Wheel Of Fortune before class started

Some kids had the newest jays, others had the Guinness book of world records

some had neither

What? All we got was a wack free small pizza from Pizza Hut if we read a certain amount.






And I ate them wack pizzas up.

Thats what we got too but I think I only earned maybe two the whole time

I used to hustle for Goosebumps and Animorphs. It got pretty bad.

That middle of the year come up



I would order a few books through the catalog and spend the rest of my cash on supplies to hustle later in the year for a crazy fukking markup



By 5th grade I had it figured out


Oh you need some lead for that mechanical pencil



How bout an eraser for the test on the Scantron next week

 

[NigerianDonDada]

This is awkward. Scholastics is the entire reason why black independent books, comics, and children's books do not make it to these schools. They have a foothold and their books never sell. In fact, I literally do bookfairs at these schools and the kids never buy their PC bullshyt books.

"I love my hair"

Soft ass "representation books."

This is extremely interesting seeing Scholastics on the Coli being praised.
