Super-Fun Romantic Sexy Beach Read
A little Proust, a little cancer, but in a light and sexy way. Isn’t melancholy the new quirky?

Hey #BookSky, been reading a lot over the past month. I discovered #PatriciaBrigg 's Alpha and Omega series. Listened to the first couple of those. Pretty solid and easy. I also started #TheMurderBotDiaries by #MarthaWells. Really excellent! I've finished the first couple of those as well.

Finished #BraveNewWorld by Aldous Huxley and am on to 1984 by #GeorgeOrwell. #Dystopian reads this Spring. You know, because of renewal, new beginnings, and all that jazz. Considering adding McCarthy’s #TheRoad to my #TBR 🌷

The US right is coming for disabled people. Here’s why that threatens everyone
Trump’s administration is dismantling disability rights and education. History has shown this can be a warning sign for all civil liberties

Loved this part of Immerwahr's article:
Thomas Jefferson warned that once readers fell under the spell of novels—“this mass of trash”—they would lose patience for “wholsome reading.” They’d suffer from “bloated imagination, sickly judgement, and disgust toward all the real business of life.”

What if the Attention Crisis Is All a Distraction?
From the pianoforte to the smartphone, each wave of tech has sparked fears of brain rot. But the problem isn’t our ability to focus—it’s what we’re focussing on.
