DrCrankyPantsReads

Hi, I’m Nick—literacy professor by day, cranky book nerd always.

Welcome to DrCrankyPantsReads, where we read widely, rant freely, and occasionally get weird about phonics.

Some days it’s middle-grade heartbreakers and haunted paperbacks. Other days it’s me yelling (nicely) about letter reversals and why “just guess” is not a reading strategy. This channel is part bookish banter, part literacy breakdowns, and fully committed to calling nonsense what it is.

If you like your book recs with a side of sarcasm and your pedagogy backed by science and snark, you’re in the right place.
