This is my second time reading this book and I was just as confused both times. One man's recordings while under the influence of his changing surroundings. Warning: offensive behavior and terminology.

If you love your library, listen up…
Hot Take: Just because a book is considered a classic or "must read," does NOT mean you will get it or like it, and that's okay.
Inspired by real life struggles and the battle between what's expected and the reality you get dealt.

I am happy to report I had read/heard some of these stories from prior books and stories told from my partner's family!
Simple and short tales, but beautiful and thought provoking as well.

Loss. Magic. Betrayal. A deep secret that starts to unfold in the most peculiar way.

I hate this feeling of accomplishment and happiness, while simultaneously feeling guilty and like a failure in other aspects. This back and forth is exhausting and they don't even take turns, just hit at once. But the show must go on.
Pretty sure the teenage version of me was just grabbing any ghost-related literature she could get her hands on at this point.

It is March 2, 2025. My plan was to leave the world on March 2, 2024.
What a difference in a year. I still have bad days. But reasons to stay are easier to find each day.
Thankful for family, for friends, for library kids who ARE going to save the world. Once a library kid, always a library kid 💚
There are ghosts in my head.

I did it.
In the midst of the flu, broken sleep, being bed bound, and ultra lack of any form of attention span, I finally finished this book.
It isn't long, but packs a mindful punch into what would help shape and inspire future leaders, speeches, and works.

First I went nearly a week with a migraine, healed for a few days, and now down and out with the flu 😭 Once my head stops swimming, I can settle in to a good book.

Such an interesting and creative read that looks into some of the traditional and historical stories that helped shape Vietnam and its culture. Was recommended this by my boyfriend's family who is Vietnamese. Definitely a 10/10 from me!
