📚 Last night I finished Still True by Maggie Ginsberg. All of the characters felt very real in this book. Despite their flaws and mistakes, you root for them.

📚 Latest Book Read: How to Seal Your Own Fate by Kristen Perrin
This murder mystery is second in the Castle Knoll Files series. I started it on Sunday and finished it Monday night, so my binging should serve as proof that I like it.

📚 Last Book Read: All the Other Mothers Hate Me
This book follows former minor pop star and mother Florence. Honestly, I get why the other mothers don’t like her. She’s a highly unlikeable main character, but you do want to know what happens to her.

Recently, I took a trip to Connecticut, which included visiting the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library in New Haven. It was Dictionary Day. Something about really old books feels so special.

What’s even worse than banning individual books? Banning student access to libraries altogether.

📖 💭 “If you want to get more out of books, it helps to read with the right expectations. You are not memorizing. You are metabolizing.”

Interesting, science-backed read about why you don’t need to remember everything in books.
