March Reads

Butch Hijab Blues is amazing

Flapper Queens is a bit of comic and women's history I didn't know enough about.

Creation Lake... I'm still thinking about it, so I think I liked it

The Villa had so much going for it, but it missed it's mark & the ending didn't land for me. #BookSky

Still doing Black History.

Butler's work is having a mainstream moment now, but she was a major voice in SF long before.

"All that you Change
Changes you
The only lasting truth is Change
God is Change”

— Octavia E. Butler

Spouse asked me if we needed a small espresso machine. I said no, but if you want it, get it. As I am now enjoying my decaf pistachio milk cappuccino, I'm not too proud to admit, I was 100% wrong.

We do need an espresso machine so he can continue to make me delightful coffees.
