School Required Reading: Classics Pass/Fail

The Enneagram is a personality typing system that's based on motivation for behavior and accounts for 23% of all content on Instagram. There are 9 types indicated by the numbers 1 through 9. Today we are tackling the 3s (Erin's number). To find your number, don't take a quiz. Simply head to Enneagraminstitute.com and read through all the descriptions of the 9 numbers and narrow it down that way. Enneagram 3s are The Achievers. They want to be successful, admired, and impressive. They don't just want to do well, they want everyone to know they did well. They're also inspiring, efficient, and motivating to others.  Movies That Are Actually Better Than The Books Collection from The Popcast: Three deep dive episodes featuring Bridget Jones's Diary; Jurassic Park, and The Wizard of Oz Faith Adjacent: The Enneagram: Favored or Forsaken episode The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile The Unfiltered Enneagram by Elizabeth Orr Our Threads: @readwithshelfrespect Our Instagram: @readwithshelfrespect readwithshelfrespect.com Knox McCoy on Substack Erin Moon on Substack Jamie B.

The first in our series: Author Deep Dives. In this episode, we unpack the meteoric rise of young millennial romance book icon, Emily Henry. We answer all the questions: What are our own experiences with her writing? Where did she come from? What's the scouting report on her books? And then we enter into the debates: Is she a mirror or an engine? Could her books be written by someone else? Who's on her corner? What is her VORA Score in terms of craft, conversion, degree of difficulty, and personality? We wrap it up with how will we consider her in 2046.   Erin's Common Ground Pilgrimage trip for Hamnet happening in June 2027 is now open for registrations Emily Henry's Books on Bookshop.org Emily Henry on Instagram People We Meet on Vacation on Netflix What Up With That?
