I like to read ... almost anything. I am also a huge nerd in every possible way.

    I love this book so, so much. Everything about it - and I am listening to the audiobook, which is usually not my favorite way to consume books. I am going to have to buy a copy, because I need to annotate this, which is also not something I often feel the need to do. I am not sure what is left to discuss at this point of the book, since a lot of the conflict feels resolved, but I find that I am not eager for the end. I want it to keep going!

  • Poetry recommendations for a (somewhat) beginner?

    So I’ve been wanting to get into reading poetry for a while, and I’ve always found it to be a hit or miss genre for me. For example, I couldn’t get into Amanda Gorman’s Call Us What We Carry but I really liked Shel Silverstein’s poems growing up and books Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse and Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds, both written in verse. I’d really love some poetry recommendations that are preferably short and easier to understand/get into. I don’t think I’m ready for classical poetry yet (😅), and would also really appreciate recommendations by authors of color!
