Even though interviews are definitely not my favouritw kind of text type I enjoyed the interviews with Judi Dench very much. She is a very witty person and her insight on the different characters were very interesting. I‘m going to use excerpts of this book in my English lessons for sure. 💪💪💪

I love that Judi Dench‘s own drawings were used. 😍😍😍

On Tuesday I facilitated a discussion on this for the Keuka Compass LGBTQ+ Book Club. We had a vibrant conversation about whitewashing, trans and queer misogyny, policing and prisons, and activism. While I still get anxious after events like this from the crash post-socializing, my community groups have been a lifeline recently in addition to powerful books like this one. #stonewall #lgbtqia+ #solidarity

I work as a Children‘s Librarian; moonlight as a wedding officiant, creating custom rituals and ceremonies; and go for nature walks with my dog. Sometimes, I tap dance.

monalyisha @Prairiegirl_reading Looking for an officiant for my own wedding! We hired a woman who was a certified Life-Cycle Celebrant. She created rituals for us using coffee, wood rounds cut from different types of trees on her property, & all sorts of other fun details. I thought, “I could do that!” I have degrees in English Lit & Religious Studies, which seemed like a pretty tailor-made background. My husband is a wedding photographer, so it made sense!

Prairiegirl_reading @monalyisha that‘s awesome! 2mo
monalyisha @Prairiegirl_reading Thanks! I LOVE writing the ceremonies. Readers are naturally inclined to tell stories and imbue mundane objects with meaning and symbolism; it‘s fun and it comes easily. Standing before hundreds of their closest friends & family and delivering the finished product is a different thing altogether — and something I still find very nerve-wracking. In an ideal world, I‘d hand that part off to someone else. 😅 2mo
