@DeweysReadathon is doing a fun thing starting today! #30daysofreadathon

So infuriating...in real life and the pages of this book.

Haulin'. #booknerdcamp17

First #bookhaul in AGES.

My first Backman had me bawling at page 11. Maybe this cute cupcake bookmark will help? #goodcry

Giving me the inspiration feelings.

Currently listening. #audiobook

Loving it. The narrator is fantastic.

I'm going in!

Please read to me forever, Shonda Rhimes.

So many notes and dog ears for such a small book. This one got repetitive at times but so many good things to think about, too.

LOVING THIS BOOK.

So much fun so far. #boutofbooks

#FirstBook of 2017!

Finishing out one of my favorite series (Tiffany Aching) seems like the right way to end 2016. With practical strength, grace, and hella fine writing. I'll start 2017 with Hope in the Dark.

Book 7 of my winter break #bookgasm. #flashreadathon

So damn good.

Book five of my 12-book winter break #bookgasm.

Let's do this.

Now. Now. Now. Read it now. The infuriating part is that so much of this is still true. If I can find some cheap copies I'll be quietly, subversively sharing it with some neighbors on Christmas Eve.

A quick, fun, beautiful graphic novel.

I cried and I hugged the book.

On a mission to read 12 books in the next 24 days. That's a hell of a lot for me, and I can't wait. #bookgasm #winterbreak

I ration these. Almost done with them.

Reading the hell out of this.

TANKS!!!! ❤️

Holy crap, I'm reading.

Creepy shit, and it kept me guessing.

Got my planner loaded up for #Readathon!

Finally, a book has grabbed me by the nose hairs.

The first book on my #Readathon TBR. I know I won't read much because organizer duties, but I can do this.

This book is a winner. If it wasn't a library copy I'd underline the hell out if it.

The Tamakis really know how to write teens. Loved this sensitive look at a teen dealing with first infatuation, difficult friendships, with elements of teen suicide, sexual preference, and shoddy adults. Gorgeous art and storytelling.

Youth behaving badly on the Ivory Coast of Africa in the 70s. It's melodramatic, silly, and over the top, but also free of African stereotypes prevalent in the media. Aya herself, ambitious and determined to be a doctor, is sort of a side note in this first volume, but I can't wait for more.

Smug asshole. DNF.

Ohhh Regional Office, you were an ass-kicking good time. As if The Library at Mount Char and Die Hard had a baby.

The Regional Office: uniquely positioned to Empower and Strengthen otherwise troubled or at-risk Young Women to act as a Barrier of last resort between the survival of the Planet and the amassing Forces of Darkness that Threaten...

Our fantasies are our realities in an excuse-free world.

...I'm angry enough, at last, to stop being afraid of life, and angry enough--finally, God willing, with my mother's anger also on my shoulders, a great boil of rage like the sun's fire in me--before I die to fucking well live. Just watch me.

"...it's always there."
