Books, cats, ADHD and autism, my world in a nutshell.
I had a great month for books. “When the Tides Held the Moon” and “Water Moon” are my new favorite books of all time. Water Moon is beautiful and twisty and emotional and left a mark on my soul.
And if you want to laugh out loud, Leslie F*cking Jones!

Much slower month. Some heavy books plus Hello Kitty Island Adventure reduced my pages read significantly. Kiki’s was a much needed palette cleanser after The Reformatory and Where They Last Saw Her which I highly recommend but I cried throughout both.

My 10 year old drew this awesome picture of Alastor from Hazbin Hotel. I would love @amirtalai.bsky.social to sign it at a con this summer…. But is it weird since he’s so young? I heavily redact what episodes and scenes he can watch, it’s mostly about the music, but he’s a fan of what he has seen.

I highly recommend Tananarive Due’s The Reformatory. It’s a tome and very heavy read, but I have shed so many tears for Robbie and Gloria. I’m only about 2/3 finished but the emotions are so real and raw
Please please please read this. #booksky📚💙

I needed a light fun read after my last book so I picked up Isaac Marion’s Warm Bodies. Holy cow it was so philosophical for a zombie romance!! Great read, but now I need another pallet cleanser. Thinking of reaching for Kimberly Lemming.

I don’t even know where to start culling this list. Even at my current reading rate it would take me over 15 years to clear this TBR. Of these I own 381 between ebooks and physical books (thanks Stuff Your Kindle days….) #booksky📚💙

I just finished Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H and it’s a wonderful memoir about a Non-binary Lesbian Muslim and how they navigated their faith and identity.

New read, incredible thriller about murdered and missing indigenous women. I started yesterday and am halfway done. Incredibly compelling. #booksky📚💜

Just finished My Monticello by Jocelyn Nicole Johnson. Normally this is a book I could devour in a couple of days but the heaviness of it was difficult and the main story was very timely. I highly recommend this! Our nation was built on the backs of slaves, not white aristocrats.

I discovered Picabia when the Museum of Modern Art in NYC had an exhibit. Absolutely amazing range of artwork.

“We Deserve Monuments” by Jas Hammonds. One of the best books I read last year and I still think about how moving it is. I can’t wait to read more from Jas!
