There are 4 novellas in this book, and so many genres are represented! Historical fiction, science fiction, detective thriller (with Holly Gibney!), and a realistic piece about a writer who is writing a western! That last one has a bit of horror, too. Thoroughly enjoyable! 📚💙

Delightful discovery: My brothers and I, over the last 40 years, and living in three different states - all use our childhood home phone number in various password situations. We learned this randomly at a family gathering. Mom was surprised. Us, not so much. #alwaysconnected #neverfarapart

In 5th grade recess,I read Judy Blume's Forever aloud to many Lutheran school kids. Someone told, and I got called into the office for a talking to. Rat, may you forever regret censoring my freedom of sharing information at that young age. You are the problem, rat, but you did not slow me down. 📚💙

Yesterday I had a gentleman come into the library. He came in anxious because he was trying to get govt. assistance and had forms he had to copy, fill out, and send. I spent a half an hour with him and we got it all done. He was so relieved to have it done. This is why libraries are important!

Yesterday, I fondly remembered my dear friend Leonard Nimoy, who would have turned 94. His legacy lives on in our hearts. Just days ago, Bill Shatner celebrated his 94th birthday — wishing him continued health and happiness. Live long and prosper, my friends.

Evening. As each day comes to an end, I wonder what is in store for the next. I fear it will be something to fear. I hope against hope that it will be something to give me hope. Fingers crossed for us all. 2025 #poetry #fear #hope

I am from….. I am from Raggedy Ann, from Cambell’s Chicken Noodle Soup and Hostess Ding Dongs.  I am from the 130 year old two story house with zinnias on the kitchen wallpaper and orange/brown/yellow/white long shag carpet in the den. I am from the zoysia grass, the dogwood tree.🧵 #poetry #Iam

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

Libraries of all types translate 0.003% of the federal budget into programs and services used in more than 1.2 billion in-person patron visits every year, and many more virtual visits. Www.ala.org

This book made me think and scoff and cry. It made me angry (also jealous of her educational opportunities). Angry at the betrayal, torture, abuse, and death threats, and her *willful* return to that family fold. It also made me call my parents and thank them for not being lunatics. 📚💙 📚🎧

If we could all just sit down and enjoy some chips and salsa together (and maybe some tacos and brownies), I think we could achieve world peace. Please...
