Should a roof over our heads be a right to every citizen? I think most of us would agree that it should be as basic a right as food to eat and healthcare to keep us well. Desmond follows eight families in Evicted and shows as many sides of the story as he can. It was tough listening but so eye opening. Eviction is a cycle that is almost impossible to break. How can we do better?? ⭐️ Audio was fantastic.

"Dying is one of the few experiences we'll eventually all enjoy firsthand, and like most shit that's commonplace, it's boring to dwell on. [They] showed me it was more interesting to concentrate on the living. Because death is fucking predictable...but life has science experiments and free time and surprise naps and who knows what comes next?" ~ Hazel

My love for Saga is limitless.

The art of Monstress is really gorgeous but holy cow is this a dark story! It invaded my dreams last night. Also think I need to talk to my librarian about categorizing it as YA. 🙈

Hanging out with some bad ass gals for #ComicsFebruary. Super hero comics are my typical thing, but I'm enjoying getting to know Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel. #readharder

Was thrilled to find this at the library yesterday. Not thrilled that I can't listen on 1.5x speed like I do digital audiobooks. But still excited to listen. Have you met Gabi yet?

Heavy sigh. So much has been weighing on my mind the past many months...as I know it has on yours as well. This book is about he dictatorship of Trujillo in Dominican Republic and there have been so many passages that have struck me. But this is where I keep coming back to. How do we move on? How do we heal? How do we become an undivided nation again? Gonna go refill my coffee before I become paralyzed in fear again. 😞

Chop chop chop. Re-listening to The Happiness Project for upcoming book club. Definitely makes kitchen prep go by easily. (Making beef stew on stove top and chicken stock in Instant Pot).

Picking up dinner. Since I tend to read a lot of ebooks (or audio), I'm trying to get in the habit of carrying a paper book in my purse again!

Officially engrossed in the story of these Mirabel sisters.

Second time this week I've been home with a sick babe. This time the littlest. Crawled back in bed with this one while she takes her morning nap. Loving it so far--have you read it??

She sure doesn't look sick to me! I asked her if she wanted me to read her a story and she picked this. We might be here a while! 😍 #readingwithlittles

I rarely read paper books these days because I mostly read in bed and hate dealing with pesky book lights. I think I finally found the solution! 😂😂👌

Do you have a book light you love?

First new book of the new year. Well, it's an old book. I've been avoiding paper books for far too long (too hard to read in bed without a clunky light), so figured I would start with a short one. Plus I love Yoshimoto!

I feel like I should read a real book (ie paper) when I'm alone (in bed), but I'm picking this one up where we left off on audio. Sometimes I wish paper books were just a little more convenient. 😂

Road trip audio! Hub said he wanted a good fiction book and I thought this might do the trick. Of course he wants to listen at 2x speed and I'm trying my best to keep up!

Literally the look I canNOT wipe from my face as I turn on Lonesome Dove audio after listening to the gorgeous H is for Hawk audio. Y'all. This guy is a mouth breather!

Cute books and I love that we can read them in one or two sittings. Not Harriet Hamsterbone, but still fun. Plus the chapters end in cliffhangers so Elle is always begging for one more chapter. 💗

Well lookie there! A great month for nonfiction. 😊 I'm not quite done with H is for Hawk but I'm adoring the audio. Could I pick a favorite? I don't think so. 😜 Have you read any of these?? #nonfictionnovember #novemberstats #pictureadaynovember

Since giving up twitter, I've lost some venting space. Love when I put down the baby for a nap and the girls are downstairs screaming. 😡 So now I'm dealing with stir crazy kids and a non-napping baby. Without daddy to help. Trying so so so hard to be patient and not yell. A difficult concept I did not understand until I was a parent.

Enjoying my vicarious journey to the English Countryside with Susan Branch. Makes me want to be a better travel journaler. I can always get the first day in writing but it's downhill after that. #nonfictionnovember

Still celebrating #nonfictionnovember! Trying to squeeze this one in...discovered it via #weekendcooking...and I love the look of it! I'll have to remember to share more pics as I get into it.

I started this one before the election, but now so many of her words feel timely and doubly haunting as I've been reading the last couple of days. I've had to remove myself from social media because it's been so frightening this past week. 😞

I received this one for Christmas a few years ago and have put it off because I wished I had the audio. Someone finally convinced me to listen (thanks Melissa!) and I couldn't be happier. LOVING LOVING LOVING this audio! So much fun. #nonfictionnovember #nonficnov

It's #nonfictionnovember AND naptime! I'm listening to Issac's Storm (Erik Larson) and The Nazi Officer's Wife on my kindle. Figured I'd tackle some of these old hardcover books as well. Ha!! Are you reading any nonfiction this month?

Twisted won the book club vote. I haven't heard of the author and this genre isn't my normal go to, but ''tis the season?

Have you read Hannah Jayne? This is a library copy and I think I have the honor of being the first reader! Nice crisp pages and spine.

Still loving our read out loud of Harriet the Invincible. Is a retelling of Sleeping Beauty...except Harriet is the hero of the story. 😊

Book, bed, wine. Loving The Secret Keeper so far (my first Morton). The audio is pretty great, too.

I'm having to set aside Germinal for my book club read. This will be my first Kate Morton and I'm excited!! Been meaning to read her for years. I'll be reading and listening to this one.

Thanks to @bookriot panels for the great post on graphic books for girls who get shit done. I'm loving reading Hamster Princess to my biggest little.

Just started Part 4 of Germinal and Do You Hear the People Sing has been running in my mind on loop. Singing the song of angry men! #germinalalong

I've pleasure delayed this one for long enough. Hopefully it's worth the wait. LOVED Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

Just picked this one up because it was time for a paper read--I bought it years ago on whim (hello HPB clearance section). Have you read it?

Mort! I've had this one on my shelf for YEARS. So glad @kristenm is hosting #MarchMagics so I have an excuse to read it. What's your favorite Discworld book??

Boys in the Boat. About the Washington crew who went to the 1936 Berlin Olympics. ...a little naptime reading. I'll probably fall asleep...though only partially because of the book. 😝 The audio narration is FANTASTIC!

From the author of Blankets. Gorgeous artwork and incredibly ambitious story. Some of the anachronistic elements bothered me, but I found the religious aspects fascinating. Captivating!
