Hiking the Camino has been on my bucket list for a while, so I was primed to enjoy this multigenerational tale of adventure on the trail. It mostly didn't disappoint, even though the denouement seemed rushed. #RootRootRead 1/6

Finished this last week while on vacation. A fictionalized account of the only children from the orphanage on Galveston Island to survive the 1900 storm. Well-written and moving, grim but uplifting. #RootRootRead

Book cover of “The Mourning Wave: A Novel of the Great Storm” by Gregory Funderburk. Picture is the ocean.

Listened to Bloom while taking my lunch walk. Since I can’t take a picture of my audiobook while listening here is a picture of downtown. #RootRootRead

For read for 30 uninterrupted minutes I am working on Heir to the Jedi. I’d be lying if I said I was enjoying it. #RootRootRead

So I’ve started my offseason #RootRootRead journey. First up was book checked out from the library. The Outsider by @stephenking.bsky.social was another stop on my Holly Gibney journey. She is a character I have come to enjoy very much.

Something you don’t want a creepy guy asking you as a Librarian:
“Hey, uh, you know anyone who wants to be in a movie?”

NOPE

I’m so tense these days that I’m thinking of setting a reminder on my phone telling me to drop my shoulders and unclench my jaw every 20 mins.

Let’s talk books! I read The Reading List a few years ago and it was WONDERFUL! It was about a list of books that were life-changing or healing.
Share your top 5 books that changed you or made you feel some way. Include #RootRootRead with your list!
