Younger me: "I hate this book." Me now: "Then stop reading it. Life’s too short for books you don't enjoy." Younger me: "Why are you reading on paper?" Me now: "Because screens exhaust me now." Some things change. Some things don’t. Like my out-of-control TBR. #BookSky 📚💙

I kicked all Neil Gaiman books out of my home years ago when this news article broke: americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2010/10/neil... I was appalled at how I couldn't seem to get anyone else in the scifi/fantasy community to take what he said seriously.
