1. Spent Saturday outside while we had decent weather, reading & hanging out with Sally ?☀️
2. Rearranged my bookshelves! I love looking at them now
3. Arthur wanted to "help" with the organization ?
4. It's been a rainy week, perfect for cat snuggles ?
5. A pair of Eastern Wood-Pewees have been hanging out by the back windows & I spotted a nest above a light fixture with little babies! Can't wait to watch them grow!

Made a good start on my #14books14weeks stack! @Liz_M
I finished this the other day and I enjoyed it even more than the first in the series! I absolutely loved Nik and Carlos' meet-cute, when he saves her from the crowds after a proposal gone wrong at a baseball game. They had such a cute rapport, my only wish is that they didn't have such a silly third act breakup. Such a fun summer read! ☀️

1. I quite like my name, Sara, but if I had to choose something else it would probably be Isabelle. It's the name I used in French class in highschool

2. I had a turtle named Pistachio growing up. Now I have my cats: Oakley, Camo, Arthur, and Ben

3. Algernon! From the Importance of Being Earnest

From the very beginning Trista is very clear that she does not want to be a mom. With the way things are going the only "happy ending" that I can see happening is them getting together & raising the baby together. And that makes me feel icky. I don't like the idea of her suddenly changing her perspective on motherhood just cause she gets to witness a loving family. I guess I should have realized what I was getting into with a surrogacy romance but

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

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 6d

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. 6d
peanutnine @ncsufoxes wow 😡 the hypocrisy is ridiculous 6d
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 6d
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. 6d
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 6d
julieclair This sounds like a book everyone should read. 5d

Listened to this one for #riseupreads - soft pick
There were parts I really enjoyed (like the world building) and parts that got on my nerves (like Hani's annoying gumiho friend) but overall it was just so slow moving. I needed the pace to pick up a bit. The ending intrigued me though so I will pick up the sequel when it comes out

Looking forward to getting some reading done this weekend during the #JumpStartSummer readathon! I've been in a weird reading mood lately where I'll read 30-50% of a book and then set it aside to start another 🤷🏼‍♀️ so my goal is to simply read for 20 hours total, with a bonus goal to finish one of these uncompleted books

I was hesitant about this one at first, as it was billed as a Sleepless in Seattle retelling and (unpopular opinion) I hate that movie! 😅 This book, fortunately, actually has not much in common besides a precocious child calling in to a radio station about their mom's lack of love life. The slow burn romance sparks with the jaded radio host and their banter on and off the air was really fun. I also loved her extended family unit

Another great mystery by Ms Christie. I thought it was so interesting that Miss Marple isn't even introduced as a character until halfway through, and yet I was still riveted by the mystery! And when she does show up, she literally inserts herself into the crime scene and the detective is like, 'sure this old lady seems like she can help!' I mean, he's not wrong but... 😂

Just as You Are | Camille Kellogg

I thought this was a really well done retelling of P&P. Enough details were included to connect to the original text, but each character felt fleshed out with a new modern purpose. Lizzie works at a failing queer magazine, which is bought out by the overeager Bailey and her reserved & budget-enforcing friend Darcy. Lizzie wants to do more than write fluff pieces but is angered when Darcy disparages her work. I loved the conversations about ⤵️

I've been terrible about posting reviews lately, but I did want to highlight my reread of Pride and Prejudice, and the adaptations I consumed last month for #JaneAustenThenAndNow
This book is always a joy to read, as are the 1995 & 2005 adaptations. I rewatched Fire Island, which is a very fun modern queer retelling that I adore.
I read Just as You Are, which I loved & will post a separate review for. I dnf'd one & am still reading another
