Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar | Cheryl Strayed

pick

Everyone needs a Dear Sugar in their life. I didn‘t know these columns in which she answers questions about love, life, sex and other complicated matters. But she can write and she‘s so honest and I loved reading her advice. Some made me tear up too. A book to return to. Thank you Meg, for sending me this one ❤️❤️

A Beachfront Bakery Cozy Mystery Bundle (Books 4 and 5) | Fiona Grace

pick

Another fun book in the Beachfront Bakery series. This one has a cliffhanger of sorts. Looking forward to the next book to get some answers.

The Matchlock Gun | Walter D. Edmonds

so-so

3✨This was an interesting and quick read about a family and their farm. This part of American history is hard because Native born people had their lands taken from them. Yet, they are portrayed as the bad guys and when our young MC‘s mother is struck from behind a young boy defends his family with a gun his father had never even fired. #Roll100 @PuddleJumper

A History of Wild Places: A Novel | Shea Ernshaw

pick

I had mixed feelings about this one. It was super engaging and I could hardly put it down while I was reading it. But the whole explanation/plot twist at the end just didn't really work for me. I don't know what I wanted, but it wasn't what I got 😂 A soft pick. I liked it, but don't see myself rereading it later.

TheAromaofBooks PS The most unbelievable part was that they got a truck running right away that had been sitting for ~3 years. At a minimum, the battery would have been dead. Probably the tires would have also been flat. And it was sitting in the woods! So many critters would have nested in it and chewed wires. Just. Seriously people. 😅 1d

Against Technoableism: Rethinking Who Needs Improvement (A Norton Short) | Ashley Shew

pick

This was a really insightful discussion about disability and how most of society expects the disabled to use technology to become "normal" instead of changing our expectations and the world to better serve them.
Each topic was approached in a lighthearted manner, while also calling out the ableist biases typically involved. It definitely brought some things to my attention.
This was my May #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks and #roll100 @PuddleJumper

ncsufoxes This one has been on my list. Our society does expect disabled people to conform to what they find acceptable or within the norm. My son uses text to talk & talk to text software. When he was young we had so much push back on having it on his IEP. I got told he had to physically be able to write words. I always said if business people & doctors can use the same software why can‘t a kid that has speech & auditory processing delays use it. 1d

peanutnine @ncsufoxes wow 😡 the hypocrisy is ridiculous 1d

ncsufoxes @peanutnine unfortunately people blame people for their disabilities (not that it is something that people can usually prevent) & feel that it is up to them to meet societal norms. Most people don‘t realize how ableist society is until they have to navigate it. Accommodations & inclusion benefit everyone but we put those things out of reach for most disabled people. I was thinking about the new glasses Meta made, which they gave out to 1d

ncsufoxes influencers or celebrities & maybe a handful of disabled people (a guy I follow on IG has RP & he was given a pair). Instead of giving it exclusively to disabled people to test & get the word out they give it to people that don‘t necessarily need it. Instead they‘ll charge disabled people full price for something that would benefit them. Tech stuff for disabilities is super expensive, most people can‘t afford it. Unless your state has programs. 1d

peanutnine @ncsufoxes oh yeah. My cousin was paralyzed at 16 and it's crazy the amount of hoops my aunt has to go through just to keep her day to day care and fighting with insurance to prove that she needs something 16h

julieclair This sounds like a book everyone should read. 6h

peanutnine @julieclair for sure! 6h

Boone: Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas | Emily March

pick

Bittersweet. This is the final book in the Eternity Springs series and The McBrides series. I have loved every minute I have “spent” in the communities, with the characters and reading the uplifting stories.

Both series heavily reference storylines from previous books so I highly recommend reading them in order.

Heaven Sent | Avelyn Paige

4.3⭐️ I went into this years #Roll100 with the idea that most of these books were going to suck, which would give me the opportunity to delete them from my Kindle and clean up the mess created during the #StuffYourKindle events. However, this book was actually pretty great and now I want to continue the series. This is my first MC dark romance but it will definitely not be my last.

I‘m really enjoying the Hope‘s Crossing series. They‘re well written, have some conflict or hardship but remain positive and uplifting. Another great small town setting.
