I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok? Signed, a librarian.

removing your presence from places you don't feel loved, valued or respected is top tier self care

I think it’s time to revisit 📚 “A civilization is not destroyed by wicked people; it is not necessary that people be wicked but only that they be spineless.”

People spend their entire lives preparing and training for leadership roles in government. It is not a job for them it is a career. That is why it is not acceptable to put people in positions for retribution or loyalty. The government is not a family business, this alone is why your vote matters.

I had no idea how thirsty I was for some good news until Joe pardoned Hunter.

Originally, Patterson wrote Cross as a Black man living in Washington, DC, but was asked to change the character to a white man. Thankfully, James Patterson put his foot down.🫶🏽🙌🏽🫶🏽

It’s December 1st and we should all pay homage to Rosa Parks today. On this day in 1955 she decided not to give her seat up on a bus in Alabama, and well the rest is history. We are all going to need to channel our Rosa Park’s for the next four years! Thank you Rosa for showing us how to #Resist
