I’m writing my first novel. I also love to read and will go mama bear for humanity when threatened. Current state of humanity: threatened.
“Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.”

— 1984: by George Orwell

To believe empathy is bad or toxic is to not have empathy. Empathy is an enemy of tyranny because it is loud and unapologetic and it only grows—it never backs down, will not fear, won’t wear armor and yet it is incapable of dying.
This isn't satire. This is a real headline published in the UK.

💙📚 5/5🌟 Idk something in me just sings when I read prose and story telling this good, world issues be damned. #Beloved was great, and loved this more. What ya got next #tonimorrison? Just sign me right up. I’ll be sad, and changed for the better when I finish reading through all her books. #bookrecs

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.”

I will keep shouting this one … a must read. Someone who has been there and done that and has been trying to get the world to see what she has seen… with some wise words for us all.

And someone who is truly deserving of her Nobel Peace Prize!

📚💙 Who is your favorite author?… or five or ten. No rules, really. 💙📚

📚💙 4.5/5🌟 Thanks to whomever mentioned this book in some comment somewhere. An important classic, a dive into ordinary, a smartly written story that’s both sad and alluring? Maybe it’s the truth. And truth is so important right now. I’m not sure how to even say why I liked it, but I did. 💙📚

🩵📚 When I set out to write my first novel, I don’t know why but I wasn’t expecting to enjoy the process as much as I have.

I know there will be frustrations. But even the learning part has been so fun!!

On the fence? Give it a go!

For reference, I’m on my second draft. :) 📚🩵

🩵📚My new way to do used bookstores so I don’t wander aimlessly and get overwhelmed by choices:

👉consult my list of authors I now keep. Any of their books available? Great. Gimme. :)

Beginning of my author list:
*Maya Angelou
*Margaret Atwood
*James Baldwin
*Ray Bradbury
*Percival Everett

5/5🌟 I started this magical (imo) read prob a couple years ago. Finished and then reread the beginning again. I just enjoy it so much. Love that we still have so much to learn about trees, but so far so fantastically good. Not sure how to not love this! 📚🩵 #booksky #nonfiction #trees #nature #review

How stinking cute is this book? The embossed cover the cute little palm-of-my-hand size, the printed bookplate. Found for a dollar at my #library bookstore. 📚🙂 ( #bookrecs via 1930 in comments, in case you need one haha)

I joined in the fun for this global #Libby #Bookclub #ya read and escaped into the mystical Misty Valley. There’s something comforting in a shared experience like that. I especially liked the used bookstore :) This is a great little gem for families. Check out Libby & Sora Reads! #booksky

Hooked from like the first word 5/5 wow! 🩵 “tender hearted” Maya tells the truth when it would have been safer to stay quiet, in this inspiring and brave book. #angelou is one of the best storytellers we’ve had, in my opinion. Loved it! #bannedbooks #iknowwhythecagedbirdsings #booksky #bookreview
