Completed @thereadingrush on Sunday with less than two hours to spare! I leaned heavily on novellas, like this one from the Murderbot series at @tordotcompub . #thereadingrush #novella #summerreading #scifibooks #murderbot https://www.instagram.com/p/B0jgbrunjJk/?igshid=xxyf8d4fxsog

Finished this audiobook a few days ago, and I'm still thinking about it. Wow.

@edwardspoonhands had a humble and generous response to folks bringing An Absolutely Remarkable Thing into high schools. I highly recommend the book for high-school students and classrooms; it explores the topics of fame, parasocial relationships, and personal branding/influencer culture/ect that are becoming ever more important and relevant.

Here’s my full video recommendation for the book! Want to call out the fact that my hand-gesticulation during filming is 100% inspired by Hank, so I find the matching thumbnails really funny.

Visited @kzoolibrary today and got some goodies I've been wanting to read! Spent about 20 minutes outside before it started to rain... . #library #librarylife #librarygirl #librarybooks #librarylove #libraryofbookstagram #bookstagram #books #booklife #bookworm #summerreading #summerreads #tanafrench #linmanuelmiranda #celesteng https://www.instagram.com/p/By6ZNA0pyiG/?igshid=pps1itwqa271

I loved listening to @acevedowrites read her own book. It follows Emoni, a high-school senior trying to raise a daughter and pursue her cooking passion, and it does so with a compelling and fierce touch. Though, I must warn you, you WILL be hungry after the descriptions of food! . #audiobookmonth #audiobooks #withthefireonhigh #librofm #librofmlosten #listeningisreading #booklife #bookrec #bookrecommendations https://www.instagram.com/p/Byq_pNQpbrF/?igshid=zklug23wna46

It's finally June! Be sure to nab a free audiobook from @librofm Hot Summer Listens (I recommend "Where'd You Go, Bernadette?") https://www.instagram.com/p/ByLd0C4pWk6/?igshid=1sku27o7isgmb

Grabbed this at FCBD and just finished the full book today! It's a lovely standalone story. I usually find myself annoyed by young versions of well-known characters, but this one stayed true to both the spirit of the character and the reality of youth. #fcbd #catwoman #ya #comics https://www.instagram.com/p/BxLuai_gDkJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1an3o9ibsv6ow

My feelings about this movie's unique composition, the end of a Marvel era, and, of course, all the Steve Rogers feelings.

This video gets kinda quiet around the eleven minute mark. You can turn up your volume; it doesn't get any louder between there and the end of the video

Ending song is "It's Been A Long Long Time" performed by Henry James and His Orchestra

This Lent season, I put down my striving, my fear, and my incessant list-making to give God a little more space.
