“This is what one thirsts for, I realize, after the smallness of the day, of work, of details, of intimacy - even of communication, one thirsts for the magnitude and universality of a night full of stars, pouring into one like a fresh tide.”

pickThis book title lured me in 8 years ago when it first came out & I finally read it.😅 It‘s slow in parts, but filled with many laughs about our most beloved (and also meh) books. And who doesn‘t love a Gen X librarian with a wicked sense of humor. Extra bonus: much fodder on celebrity memoirs and of course Ray Bradbury‘s dystopian classic.🔥
Trivia Question: How do you pronounce the title: Four-Five-One or Four-Fifty-One? See below👇🏻
pickEssay collections can be hit or miss but every one of these had something special/different to tell. The one about the narcissistic dad and her mother was very impactful. I loved listening to it all - lots of different perspectives and feelings on that mother-child relationship. I‘ll be listening to some of them again.
Amen.
Today's #25alive prompt, #laughter, is the perfect excuse to use my favorite picture of me and my paternal grandfather. He always made me laugh. ❤️

pickTa-Nehisi Coates has such a beautiful way with words. Getting lost in his view of the world opens my mind and my heart and gives me hope, which is something that is hard to find in our current world.
I will definitely be purchasing myself a copy of this one so that I can revisit it.
