Today we’re getting to know Madeleine Riley By Her
Shelf:
Madeleine is a
special education teacher by day and a voracious bookworm by night. She shares
her bookish life on her literary-themed Instagram @topshelftext.
A loyal New Englander, she loves the ocean, cats, organizing, and is an
aspiring gardener. When she grows up, she wants to be the muggle version of
Hermione Granger.
In this episode, Madeleine
and I discuss:
How she implements
reading into her curriculum as a special education teacher
How watching the white
Nationalist march in Charlottesville, Virginia sparked the Diverse Books Club,
and why she shuttered the club with over 13,000 members
How she makes her
Instagram more accessible and inclusive
The feedback she receives
the most often from her appearance on What Should I Read Next
The book recommendation
she’s been avoiding.
