Read a book about women's confinement in asylums. One of the things that has stuck with me the most is a picture of the documents for reasons of commitment for women. On it, it listed reading, interest in religion, etc. Women fought to be where we are today. Don't let them take us backwards.

Review: Summer Sons by Leo Mandelo 🏳️‍🌈 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 Reading Method: 📘/🎧 This had so much of what I love. Southern gothic horror, murder (?), dark academia intrigue, ghosts, and toxic gay vibes. Highly recommend if you love any of these things (or street racing). #booksky 📚💙

I love my job because what do you mean I edited a picture of my dog so that she's surrounded by bubbles? I did that just to make some toddlers giggle? At a story time I lead? Wow. #libsky #booksky 📚💙

After several years of trying to get LA theatres to pick this play up, I just have to produce it myself. Please help me do that by bringing Hattie McDaniel’s play BOULEVARD OF BOLD DREAMS to the Hollywood stages 2026. Even if it’s $1,2,5 you all can help make that happen. gofund.me/16dad633

Review: Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield 🏳️‍🌈 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reading Method: 🎧 This was... strange? While I enjoyed the concept and the progression of Leah's change, the pacing was a bit slow for me. It lends itself more to literary fic than horror. #booksky 📚💙

Review: How We Learn to be Brave by Mariann Edgar Budde Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 Reading Method: 🎧 As a person of faith, I found Budde's optimistic perspective on moving forward through darkness poignant and impactful. Very spiritually centered, so may not be for everyone. #booksky 💙📚

Review: Off With Her Head by Eleanor Herman Rating: ⭐️⭐️ Reading Method: 🎧 While I love a feminist view on history, this was a very limited white perspective with a stark lack of in-depth research. There were a lot of anecdotes with personal opinion essays to "strengthen" the arguments. #booksky 📚💙

Review: Juniper & Thorn by Ava Reid Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reading Method: 🎧/📘 This was a bit slow-paced to start, but the atmosphere and the suddenness of the world of this stoey falling into turmoil completely made up for that. Absolutely amazing. #booksky 💙📚
