I think the hardest thing about finishing a book is deciding what to read next. I never freaking know. None of the 80 unread books I own sound good apparently.

I'm struggling so much to read Bloodmarked. Not because it's bad by any means. I'm hooked every time I pick it up but I'm struggling to find the energy to read after work and to pick it up just because it's so long.

I love my library—but the White House is trying to dismantle the agency in charge of federal library funding. It provides jobseeker resources, technology for people with disabilities, and even more.

Call Congress! Urge them to save federal funding #ForOurLibraries 👉 bit.ly/CallCongressForLibraries

Me and my fiancée are getting our first apartment together after living with roommates for the past three years and dude I'm literally DREAMING of all the stuff we'll get to do with the place. To have a place that's all our own? I can't wait.

Hi if you have not read this book you need to it's so freaking good! The themes and messages. The sibling bonds. The romance (which includes the POV of a demisexual character and a separate sapphic character pov), the world building, ect! It's all so good and I can't wait to dive into the sequel!
Cover of SO LET THEM BURN by Kamilah Cole, showing the profile of a young woman with a dragon entwined in front of her and around her, head over hers, and a burning city below. Cover Text: "A dragon took her sister—she'll set the world on fire to bring her back."

Currently reading So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole and I'm loving this even more than I thought I would. I love the characters and the world building and am so excited to see where this goes and dive into the sequel.

This is so, so important. We can not lose the vital parts of the community that libraries are.

Do I attempt to go back to sleep and risk feeling more tired and groggy or stay up and read because I no longer feel tired?

I'm in the middle of like 4 books and I can't decide which one I want to read/focus on right now. 😭

The trans organization I'm donating to and promoting for the Trans Rights Read-a-thon is Camp Lilac. For more information and to donate yourself check out their website at www.camplilac.org
A light blue water color background with gold flecks scattered around. A logo with a lilac purple frame with the outline of a sun, trees and a tent, underneath the words Camp Lilac and three flowers under the text. A lilac purple block next to with text that reads: "Now more than ever queer joy & community is crucial which is why I want the trans organization I donate to for TRR this year to be camp Lilac. A local summer camp specifically for trans and gender diverse youth age 13-17. A summer camp where they can feel safe, supported, and affirmed. I will be donating $3 for every 100 pages read for the read-a-thon. "

Okay so I attempted last night to start Light From Uncommon Stars and my brain was not processing anything and I have no idea why so today I started Name Her Holy instead and so far I'm really enjoying it. About 50 pages in. #transrightsreadathon

I asked on some other social media as well and Light From Uncommon Stars seems to be the winner which I was leaning towards anyway so this is perfect.

It's gonna at least be a few days cause even if I find a new pharmacy I have to wait till Monday for my doctor to send it.

Well my lack of focus makes sense yesterday. I forgot I didn't take my stimulants. I ran out earlier this week but my pharmacy is out of stock so now I have to call to see if other pharmacies have them. 🙃 We'll see how long I'm with out them.

I still have not showered since getting home from work because I keep getting distracted by a bunch of other things but I'm hoping after I do that I can settle and get some reading done to kick off #transrightsreadathon for me.

Cover for Name Her Holy by Aubrey Ennis. The cover has two women standing against a starry twilight background with a pale sun. At the forefront Kye stands facing forward, one hand held up with a cold flame and billowing black smoke. She is wearing dark purple robes with a high color and gold accents. She has dark wavy brown hair that comes to her chin, tan skin covered in light scars, and pale gray eyes. Behind her Jude stands in profile, a head taller than Kye. She is in leather armor stamped with meadow floral designs, holding a golden sword etched with light oak leaves. Jude is white, has long auburn hair in a braid with an undercut at the sides. She has a long scar across her nose and freckles on her cheeks. The sun rises behind her. A border of flowers and stars creates an arch above them with a deep purple background. The cover of Ryka Aoki's Light from Uncommon Stars, which shows a koi fish swimming through the starry night sky A screenshot of the cover of Make Room for Love by Darcy Liao. The cover art shows Isabel, a tall, butch Chinese American woman, sitting on a couch with Mira, a slightly smaller, femme trans woman of Indian and Jewish heritage. Isabel's open toolbox is at her feet, and books and papers are on the coffee table near Mira.

I’m participating in the TRR! Our Trans & NB friends need support more now than ever and this is JUST the beginning. So this week, read trans books, donate money to trans supporting orgs, & show our trans communities that we WILL NOT stand by while our gov tries to erase their identities. #booksky

I was hoping to finish one of my current reads before the trans Rights Read-a-thon started tomorrow but I don't think that's happening.
