I read to learn more about our world and to escape into different ones.

    NK Jemison has created such a massively rich world. She gradually leads you into it one step at a time. Fifth Season is flowing with impactful, memorable characters and heavy themes of racism, oppression, resistance, and survival.

    The more I sit back and reflect on my feelings of this book, the more I truly appreciate how Jemison weaves in the tones, the world-building, the emotions, and the pain all together. There is a such rewarding emotional payoff, but it requires you to be patient and trust the author.

  • Debate! E-reader vs. Physical copies

    What is better and why? Online reading or physical books?

    I want to know as someone who loves both 🐕

  • Wondering if anyone has changed their user name?

    I’m contemplating changing my user name to the name I use on IG. Not that I do much posting there anymore, though I do have a large collection of photos from previous travels.

    Has anybody done it? Any problems I should be aware of? Is it even possible?

    I’d probably need to let people know of the change in my profile, and for many posts, remind people of my former username. Anything else?

    Other thoughts?
