Thanks for being inclusive of those who love books in all forms.

It’s my first day on BlueSky. Exited X a while back. Miss my Twitter feed. I am part of the native plant movement and homegrown national parks & love animals so I try to preserve their habitats. Read my description for other interests. Hoping to connect with likeminded folks.
