TAKING A 2025 BREAK FROM ALL OBLIGATIONS (well, maybe I'll dabble in a game of tag here and a bookbox there) AS I WENT A TAD OVERBOARD IN 2024... Y'all are just too much fun!







Wondering what to send outside of books?
First off - THANK YOU!!
I'm most fortunate to be surrounded by so many generous and warm souls, both on and off the web.
🥮 local candies & snacks (no allergies here...believe me, I've conducted experiments!)
🥘 a tried-and-true recipe
〽️ washi tape
🧩 favorite quote, and the story behind why it struck your chord
✈️ travel-sized anything, even hot sauces! lol



December 2022~

Those who know me know I love to move! But I think I am aging out of that process, and am finally in a place where I can see myself staying put until I age into a 55+ community (still a ways away). I hope the trend of armchair detectives in said communities hold (minus the murders); if not, I suppose they'll always have book clubs :)

Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.




May 2020

Favorite genres include dystopian/ alt-reality/ apocalyptic/ sci-fi ≠ fantasy, human movement or diasporic stories, travel memoirs, books about librarians/books, NFs in the vein of author Mary Roach, The Sixth Extinction, etc.
Least favorite: self-help, romance, westerns, politics (except when it pertains to ethnic or women's issues)

Books that defined my ages:
20s~Veronika Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho
30s~Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
40s(so far)~Less by Andrew Sean Greer; In The Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado; Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin; Joan is Okay by Weike Wang

Most memorable book:
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón...the only book where I delayed finishing as long as I could; I wept at the end because my reading ended.
