Ever lent someone a book and never got it back? 📚 When a book could be worth as much as a house, that was a risk you couldn’t take. Professor William Whyte explains why books were once chained to library shelves. #OxfordUniversity #LibraryHistory

Back when $ONDS was .75 a share, my childhood best friend and I bought as much as each of us could. Making a deal that if the stock ever hit $10, we’d book a week trip to Pebble Beach and play some of the most beautiful courses in the world. That trip starts today. Bucket List.

New Yorkers need someone in Congress who knows how to deliver and how to win. I’m not just a “fighter” –– I’m a fighter who wrote the book on how to beat Donald Trump. When Democrats take back the House, I'll do it again.

This lovely lady decided to bring a book from a high school library to a council meeting. She warns the audience that children should be removed, and immediately a council member says you can’t do that here. This is a public meeting so… this lovely woman proceeds to read from the book and let’s just say it’s filthy. I’m not going put it in this post because I’ll likely get booted off so suffice to say it’s disgusting, and the result is she got booted out of the meeting for reading a book that was in the high school library.. let that sink in. Bravo grandma 🙌🏼❤️❤️

mika mentioning ‘call dean’ once again as one of the scenes she wants to see on s2: “and not only is that like a super iconic book moment that i think the fans of the book want to see but it was really tear-jerking for me when i read it, so i’d love to see that.”

This is not a scene from a sci-fi movie, but a real-life automated underground book vault at the Shenzhen Library. In just 8 minutes, the system will locate the book you want from a collection of over 4 million books and have it delivered to you. Wondering what other miracles lie ahead!

I started writing when I was a teen. My first five books were all rejected, but I kept trying. Finally, my sixth book broke through, and I got an offer for publication in 2022, over twenty years from when I started writing my first book. It's a dream come true!

Absurd as it sounds, with smaller experiments it was completely worth it to: - Buy the book - Open a random page - Mark your starting point with a pen - Hand Type / Punch the data into cards

There’s a High Chance If You Were Around in the 1980s, You’ll Remember the Children’s Book Series “Choose Your Own Adventure. Unlike Every Book You’ve Ever Seen Up Until Then, You Didn’t Read it Front to Back. Instead You Were Faced With Choices After Being Presented With All Sorts of Random Dilemmas. Best of All, There Were Dozens of Endings So if You Didn’t Like Your Fate, You Could Always Try Again. #chooseyourownadventure #books #reading #1980s #80s

This book was just an ordinary book with pictures and text. But I wanted to bring it to life—to digitize it so that readers wouldn’t see it as just another book, but as an experience that takes our parents and #Chiranjeevi fans on a nostalgic journey through his movies. It all started with Nwin Kumar Anna. In my space, he spoke about life and the lessons of Megastar Chiranjeevi Garu, which deeply inspired me. Then, I saw a post from the Janasena Party where Pawan Kalyan Garu was holding *Megastar: The Legend* book. Pawan Kalyan Garu rarely holds books unless they are truly worth it. That made me curious. I searched for the book online but couldn’t find it. Luckily, I managed to get the author’s details, contacted him, and finally got my hands on the book. When I saw the book, I felt it was too simple. I thought, Why is this just an ordinary book? Why not bring it to life using my skills? And that’s how this journey began. To make it happen, I watched all 151+ movies of Chiranjeevi Garu. The most challenging part was finding the exact scenes from the movies that matched the pictures printed in the book. Days and nights passed as I worked on this, but in the end, it was finally completed. I first shared the concept with Adithya 🚩🚩🚩 Anna, and he absolutely loved it. The encouragement he gave me was invaluable. Huge thanks to Akhil for guiding me on how to manage both the tourism thread and this book my office work , and to @KalyanCult_1992 for helping me with some movies. I had initially decided that I would only show this book to Nwin Kumar Anna after it was completed, and finally, I did. ❤️ it's a small gift from my side to all Megastar fans like you. Thank you, Nwin Kumar Anna. At last, I showed it to గుడుంబా శంకర్ 🇮🇳 Anna. I don’t know if my work will ever reach Chiranjeevi Garu, but I felt really happy. When I showed it to గుడుంబా శంకర్ 🇮🇳 Anna, the hug he gave me truly felt like a hug 🫂 from Chiranjeevi Garu himself. That meant so much to me, Anna. ❤️🙏 And finally, a heartfelt thank you to Chandra Sekhar Garu Akshit Singh 🇮🇳 bhai MegaPower 🇮🇳 Anna for all the support you’ve given me—words fall short. 🙏❤️ This how I showcase my love towards Chiranjeevi Konidela annaya ❤️❤️ #Chiranjeevi #jaichiranjeeva #PawanKalyan
