When you’re in Paris and you know you overdid it on the book purchases.

The polio vaccine works.

As an Indian, my contempt for (rich white) anti-vaxxers in the west is so deep I often cannot quite find the words to express my contempt.
I grew up seeing polio-disabled children and adults crawling over rubble and roads in India.

Books are FUNdamental

Staffers at Thank You Books in Alabama, SF’s City Lights Books, and The Nook in Iowa, are among 600 booksellers receiving $500 holiday bonuses from James Patterson.
He has been awarding independent store employees since 2015.

“Booksellers save lives. Period.” Patterson says.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

When people ask me who my influences are

We thought replacing our 10 year old cat trees that are in front of a favorite window would be a super idea! Cats gave an emphatic no! We donated the new fabulous one for 3 to our travel vet’s space and dragged the old two from the garage also. Cats are thrilled! Vet cats love their new one!
