It’s that time of month again…….. reading wrap up!!!

I have to say, I surprised myself this month. It felt like a slog. But I had quite a few bangers in there!

Making some book cover stickers for my journal. Some are already reads, tbrs, old favorites and some are what I call my “graveyard” books.

This is more applicable to my next project (my dryad romance), but let’s be clear, ALL reading is political. For this reason if no other. Go read something.

Books are inherently political. I am of the generation that read the entirety of V.C. Andrews Flowers in the Attic series while seated in a corner of the library over a period of weeks. At the time, my local library had two cards. The children’s library card and the adult library card. You could not check out books upstairs in the adult section with a children’s library card, but there was no rule saying you couldn’t read them there.

...See, Red Demon opens to innocent people dead in the snow and the government lying about it. It ends when the people push across cultural divides and bigotry confront corruption, and bring some hidden crimes into the light.

You can’t say you’re a reader or book lover and pretend that’s not an inherently political action. Here are some of my favorite fantasy novels that are not at all shy about having a point of view. What would you add to this list? 🧵

Wayward by Emilia Hart A crow is on a branch against a green background. It is surrounded by insects, Fungi, & flowers. Text in white

📚💙🎧 Listening to this I couldn't help thinking about generational trauma. Things repeating themselves again and again with slightly different circumstances. Funny how well that fits with the issues of today in the USA.

Not the video I had planned, but some books for the days at hand.🤦‍♀️

“You can’t change human nature without first changing the law.”

However, when it comes to legal interpretation based on the laws at hand, maybe consider who’s giving you the analysis.

If you are someone who says "Keep politics out of reading spaces," you are part of the problem. Reading within itself is political.
