Over consumption, Anti-intellectualism, Trope-ification, Shallow reviews....all of these have been plaguing the book community recently.

The good news is that means that WE can also fix it ✨️

Taking a break from doomscrolling for a few days has really helped my mental health.
Finding the balance between staying informed & keeping myself sane has been,& will still remain, a challenge, but moments like this help infinitely:

WorldCon haul & the only two selfies I grabbed 😭
It was a wonderful, exhausting whirlwind.
Book-wise, found some absolute gems.
People-wise, Seattle was a heartwarming reminder of why the book community is amazing.
More on that soon as I do have some group photos to post 👀
