@sguillory262.bsky.social’s Nowhere Better Than Here was a tough read for someone who lived on the Louisiana coast but it has stuck with me for so long that I had to send my Cajun mom a copy. My note told her to grab the tissues.

Marathon listening to YA & middle grade for an upcoming PD & am loving my most recent reads. Lei and the Fire Goddess had me laughing out loud, googling Hawaiian folktales, and holding my breath during Lei’s big race with the fire goddess Pele! @maliamaunakea.bsky.social @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social

Just mailed off copies of Randy Ribay’s Everything We Never Had to my dad & brother. Love it so much! It will have you thinking abt family & history & all the things that make/break us. If you have a FilAm male in your life or someone with difficult family bonds, gift it to them. And yourself.

Last 2 days of #COMOgives24. If you’re looking for a local organization to help, Nora Stewart Early Learning Center is fabulous! If you have any questions about their work, let me know. I’ve had the honor to be on their board for the past several years.

I once heard someone say a #PhDpursuit is like therapy, constantly uncovering motives & beliefs…and memories. The “clerk” in this family story was a local comic guy named James. He was a comic expert, a historian with unlimited knowledge he shared w/local comic patrons. 1/

I do love my planners! I’m going for another @moleskine.bsky.social spiral for my writer’s notebook. Last year was my 1st using a dated planner for notes/ideas & I loved it! #PlumPlanner for school but that’s my June/July planner season. 😂 Bought this one yesterday for tracking my side hustles.
