I recently read Shark Heart by Emily Habeck and was so surprised by how much I loved it. It was such a beautiful story around grief and longing

NEW: It's time to #FundLibraries.

As we fight for the long-term future of federal funding for libraries in Congress & in the courts, it's critical that our elected officials CONTINUE to provide annual funding.

Take action, tell your House Rep to fund libraries in FY26: bit.ly/FundLibraries26House

Fund Libraries. Tell Congress to invest in libraries. #FundLibraries, ALA American Library Association.

I know! It confused me so much. I had to go back and read the last 25 pages because I was convinced I missed some kind of nuance

Okay loving Babel so far... did not expect it to be as dense or as poignant as it is. I love the world-building and the relationship between the 4 babblers. I have no idea how it's going to end and I'm scared 🫣 #booksky
