It is March 2, 2025. My plan was to leave the world on March 2, 2024. What a difference in a year. I still have bad days. But reasons to stay are easier to find each day. Thankful for family, for friends, for library kids who ARE going to save the world. Once a library kid, always a library kid 💚

I did it. In the midst of the flu, broken sleep, being bed bound, and ultra lack of any form of attention span, I finally finished this book. It isn't long, but packs a mindful punch into what would help shape and inspire future leaders, speeches, and works. #booksky #bookgirl #bookchallenge

First I went nearly a week with a migraine, healed for a few days, and now down and out with the flu 😭 Once my head stops swimming, I can settle in to a good book. #booksky #bookgirl #sickgirly #quarantine

Such an interesting and creative read that looks into some of the traditional and historical stories that helped shape Vietnam and its culture. Was recommended this by my boyfriend's family who is Vietnamese. Definitely a 10/10 from me! #booksky #bookgirl #100bookchallenge #lunarnewyear #tet

A witch. Or so they claimed. Or so they feared. A first POV of a young woman navigating religious norms, superstition, and surviving a new world. If you're familiar with the witch trials, you'll enjoy this all too real feeling tale. I know I did! #booksky #bookgirl #bookchallenge

You ever have a moment that reminds you of a book passage? If you've ever read "The Haunting of Hill House," then you may recall a bit about a cup of stars. Sitting and realizing I have my own cup of stars 💙 #booksky #bookthings #bookgirl

Now THIS was a novel that made me shudder. While fictional, it pulls inspiration from events that happen all too often in the real world and hits you right in the emotions. You learn as the narrator learns, leaving you both to put the horrific pieces together. #booksky #bookgirl #100bookchallenge

Don't get me wrong, the writing style/character development was on point, HOWEVER, watching the show first got me a little too hyped. The book was rather bland and nothing truly got me excited or thinking. I was left wanting more, but don't regret the journey. #booksky #readinggoal #horror

Even though most of us will probably never lead the charge, we all have a vital role to play in this battle before us. "Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a sun, be a star." ~ MLK
