This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Currently wrapped up in Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano - lush, emotional, and beautifully written. Perfect hammock read. Loving how the story unfolds in my home city of Chicago.

Currently making my way through The Topeka School by Ben Lerner. It’s a bit of a slog at times, but there’s something intriguing about its writing style, debate, and cultural critique. Not the easiest read, but I’m sticking with it.

I’m, so far, reading more this year but taking less book pics. I guess my booksky/bookstagram/bookthreads career is over 🤣

Waking up before the sun is an absolute nightmare. I’m a proponent of abolishing Daylight Saving Time and enacting permanent Standard Time.

Unpopular Opinion: Who else finds award shows like the Golden Globes, Emmys, and Grammys a major eye roll?
Congrats, your movie made a billion dollars, and you made millions. Here’s an award for being rich.
I’d rather see the awards go to the original creators, like authors and writers.
