This is creeping dread,
haunting fear.

It’s the knock on your door
during a roundup
of those deemed different.

History howls its brutal lessons
through the centuries.
We’re not listening again.

April 2025 books Shaedes of Power Ravager Blood Orange Feminism is for Everybody The art of Small Talk

April was super busy IRL and I didn’t read as much as I hoped. Blood Orange as a re-read, this time in audio, was so good.

Got in some good non-fiction too!

Livestreaming here: www.youtube.com/live/5ceR90l...

So excited for this upcoming book from @authorkarinahalle.bsky.social
I love her writing and this has so many of my favorite things!

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

Yesssss!!! So good.

A few of these are on my TBR. I need to get to them!

I don’t plan to apply that approach to my books 😆

March was a light reading month but a really good one!

What was everyone’s favorite March reads? Have you read any of these?

100% - my friend and I said the same!

When Women Were Dragons is a fiery reminder that sometimes the only way to take up space is to transform and burn brighter.

This is fun and relevant with just the right amount of escapism.

LOVE this! 😍

That is one of my FAVORITES. 😍

I’ve got a hold at the library for that one!

Book covers and star ratings for books read by me in Feb 25

In February I read some meaningful, important and some fun books.

Did you like any of these? What others would you recommend?

Yup.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

5⭐️ I will post a review shortly but it was fantastic!

I need more people talking about that they added parts from One More Day into the epilogue

Watch 'em run amuck
Catch 'em as they fall
Never know your luck
When there's a free for all
Here's a little 'dip'
There a little 'touch'
Most of them are goners
So they won't miss much

Claiming the save act is anything other than an attack on women is gaslighting.

I’m enjoying it so far. I’ll be sure to share when I’m done!

This book is off to a good start. A poignant epigraph and then chapter one starts with this gem

“She didn’t think things could get any worse, then she saw the sign. Welcome to Florida, it read. The Sunshine State.”

- Grady Hendrix, Witchcraft for Wayward Girls

I spent my whole life listening to cis straight men talk about their dicks. It's about time they get jump scared by women talking about smutty romantasy books in crude detail on TikTok.

Cozy fantasy can sometimes be hard for me to get into but this book engaged me from the start. It was funny and light while still finding meaning and moving the story. I really liked this one.

Books mentioning slavery, civil rights removed from shelves at Fort Campbell schools - ClarksvilleNow.com At an elementary school at Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division, librarians are hard at work scrubbing the shelves for books that contain references to slavery, the civil rights movement...

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement.

The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

My grandmother’s family was murdered in the chambers of Auschwitz. She survived and told me never let it get that far. Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding. Stand up for others. Never cave in fear of the Nazis or the holocaust will happen again.

Did you like the audio for The Song of Achilles? It’s on my TBR
