About a month ago, NdGT posted on social media that this biography had been "removed pending review," a loophole tactic to remove books indefinitely for a vetting process that never actually happens, effectively banning them, in a school district in PA. Why? For the story of how he was questioned by police because he was stargazing while black. So yeah, checked it out from the library. #CRTboogyman #rolemodel #space #bio

So, I'm seriously rethinking the two Simmons books on my TBR, the last two books in the Hyperion series, after reading his tweet completely bashing a 16 yr old girl. The thought of a 72 year old "man" cyber bullying a child just boils my blood. #Magathugs #Magabullies #jerk

Greta is a role model.

Tiffany Haddish had one heck of a life. While she's able to bring a lot of humor to her stories, there is also a realness and seriousness to them. She has gone through so much from having an abusive mom, going through the foster system, marrying an abusive husband... Through all that she has kept a positive attitude and become incredibly successful. She is an inspiring woman! #girlpower #humor #funny #serious #rolemodel #love #audiobook

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5)

So moving and inspiring. This one surpasses the hype. I highlighted about 254 passages, which really slowed me down, but I finished a day before Overdrive snatched it back uo from my Kindle. So yay!

1️⃣ I have a sentimental attachment to Empire Strikes Back. My dad took me with him to see it and even though I fell asleep early on (I was 5) and he wasn‘t happy, it‘s one of the few memories I have of my dad, so Empire will always be special to me.
2️⃣ Princess Leia #strongwomen #rolemodel
3️⃣ I haven‘t read any so: no opinion 🤷🏻‍♀️

Nancy Drew is definitely a comfort read (or listen) for me! I like how Nancy is always practical and independant but still knows how to ask for help. The Clue In The Diary is number 7 in the series by Carolyn Keene and read by Laura Linney.

A solid 5/5. I cannot believe it took me this long to read “I am Malala”. Not only did I learn about this extraordinary woman, but I learned about Pakistan and Islam. I am eager to see how she changes the world! #rolemodel #education #pakistan #islam

Thank you to all the kindhearted Littens who expressed their condolences on my Dad's passing. Hearing from you brought me such comfort and meant so much. You are truly wonderful people and yes, I'm naming names in comments! 💕

@Kalalalatja This is the tattoo I designed for my dad. The book titles roughly translate to "The love of Tracy" (that's for my mum), "The bravery of Jessica" (for my older sister) and "The passion of Emily" (that's me!). Dad wanted something relevant for each of us, because as the banner says "it's the story of his life" ?
It's not the best of photos, but it's the only one I could find ?
