Day whatever of books that affected me. One of my kids recently discovered a copy of the graphic novel version of The Iliad from @garethhinds.bsky.social in the school library. Artists and librarians who make literature accessible for kids who aren't big readers are my heroes.

Day 6 of stories that impacted me: Amy Tan's novel, The Joy Luck Club.

Day 5 of stories that made an impact on me: the first Stephen King book I read was Four Past Midnight. It was a gift from a friend in middle school. Novellas were a brilliant discovery. The Sun Dog creeped 13 year old me out. #ReadersOfBluesky

Day 4 of stories that made an impact on me: The Alchemist. A favorite professor shared this with us. It reminds me that things aren’t always as bleak underneath as they appear on the surface. #ReadersOfBluesky #BooksOfBluesky

Day 3 of stories that made an impact on me: The Hobbit. The opening paragraph is still one of my favorite things ever. Samwise was the hero of the entire story. #ReadersOfBluesky #BooksOfBluesky

Day 2 of Stories that Impacted Me: Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales. I read these as a kid. They’re fairly dark but not Grimm 🥁#ReadersOfBluesky #BooksOfBluesky

Another @imagecomics.bsky.social win. I picked this up at my comic shop on the monthly trip with one of my kiddos. As someone who's struggled with weight, it resounded deeply. The subject matter was treated so well that I got a little teary. #ReadMoreComics #YourMommaReadsComics

I’m late to comic books. I wasn’t allowed to read them as a kid, so now I make sure to haul my kids to the shop on a regular basis. This book looks interesting. Anyone read it?

I just finished reading Good Omens for the first time. This line YELLED at me. “The really important thing to be was yourself, just as hard as you could.” As I navigate a career change into design, I’ll keep this firmly in mind.
