I bought this book because of the cover &after reading this am so glad I did. Tatel covers his time as a civil rights lawyer &then as a judge on the US Court of Appeals in DC. It was enlightening &honest &didn‘t shy away from calling out some of the poorer decisions made by the courts. His respect for the law &drive for justice &equality shows through in all he did. Through it all he was honest about his battle w/the truth of his blindness.

“Blindness is a radically distinct way of being in the world. Humans are so fundamentally visual in their understanding & experience that blindness requires its own domain.” I did not know that over 70% of people that are blind live in poverty. Mainly because the education model for the blind is not built on ensuring that blind people being successful. Our systems are not built for disabilities either (& currently they are all being defunded or

Loved this one!

A rather predictable Regency romance, but with a few twists that kept my interest. Not great literature, but a nice diversion. I wanted something light, and this fit the bill.

My cardinal friend definitely does not qualify as plain 😄

3.5⭐ A blind girl encounters a security officer on the street. She goes to work with him and the rest of this is a romantic drama. The artwork is highly unusual for a manga. I believe it‘s Russian or supposed to be reminiscent of Russian styling. It also feels like it‘s a step at a time like this should be the 50s.It‘s hard to say I enjoyed this, but I am intrigued. I do want to read the next volume because I‘m hoping to see a love story progress.

Ken has spent the day as a judge at the state science fair, and I‘ve had a relaxing day at our son‘s home, with lots of reading time. This is Pebbles, who has been my reading buddy. This has included walking across my Kindle 😂
