Reading Update
How To Be Alone by Tanya Davis & Andrea Dorfman. Adorable illustrated book version of the video poem.
A Song Below Water by Bethany C Morrow. Very good ya contemporary fantasy about two magical sisters-of-the-heart growing into powers that may further mark them as feared others.
How To Be Less Stupid About Race: On Racism, White Supremacy, and the Racial Divide by Crystal Marie Fleming.
Chaos cannot believe!
The LOL section was particularly good today. 🙂
I had seen the COVID-meets-wildfires picture before, and it made me sad. Mostly because my state is on fire, but also because it has become normal for my state to be on fire this time of year. Sigh.
I’m glad you enjoyed A Song Below Water! I really liked that one.
A recent post from Nicole..Friday Reads: Nevermoor
I am seriously considering buying lino printing materials after seeing those craft kits. I could doodle in lino prints. Also Epic Level Librarian trolling deserves worldwide appreciation.
