I love how autistically/neurodivergently coded the dragon is. I can relate to so much he says or is said about him. And it's all explored with so much empathy and respect. I'm loving this book!
"Plenty of clients treated him like a malfunctioning vending machine, as though thumping him hard enough would let them get something extra." In "Smoke Signals", by Meredith Katz.
Having worked in customer service, I love this quote. That's exactly how it feels like. What a great way to put it!
"He had to make a good first impression on the dragon, he reminded himself. (...) They were people just like anyone else." In "Smoke Signals", by Meredith Katz.

I extended the Summer Splash Readathon for myself because deadlines are arbitrary and time is an illusion. 🙃
I managed to satisfy all the book prompts, which was my main goal. ✨️
The rest are activities like watch a beach movie; create an outfit, art, and playlist based on a book; writing a letter; random act of kindness; be your favorite character for a day; instagram challenge; and reading sprint. Maybe this month, maybe not 🤷🏻♀️ 🌊
Books I finished in July '22 📚
My favorites were Smoke Signals, Silver in the Wood, and The Cybernetic Tea Shop, but I liked everything except Are You My Mother? (Alison's Version) 🙃
pickShort and sweet m/m romance between Mike, a human working in customer service at an online gaming company, and Zali'thurg, a dragon who collects games for his hoard. It sounds a lot stranger than it ended up being. Their relationship begins in a professional capacity, then morphs into friendship and more as they navigate their cultural differences, boundaries and needs, and feelings for each other. 🐉
