I honestly donβt know why anyone, including the mainstream media, is surprised. You spent the first year of his second term capitulating, never asking him the hard questions, looking in a different direction and now youβreβ¦surprised ππΎββοΈ
You can get DVDs, CDs and of course books at your local library and you can buy physical items secondhand from places like ThriftBooks and Better World Books. And also supporting your local @pbs.org gets a huge catalog of amazing shows and documentaries www.pbs.org/explore/pass...
Netflix is the true winner out of this debacle. They know audiences viewing preferences and Paramount and Warner Bros are trying to hold onto their failing streaming services. But what we have learned from this debacle is that we should start embracing physical media.
There has been a lot of discourse over the latest "Wuthering Heights" adaptation and I thought to jot down my thoughts on my reasons of choosing not to watch the film. You can read it on my blog or on my Substack. ππ #booksky #blacksky
I read a mixture of things like comics and picture books π
By using @thestorygraph.com , I can create a pie chart of what books are from my personal shelf and which ones I borrow. I also created a pie chart to break down my reading by age group. If you have a #StoryGraph Plus account, this is just a great feature to use!β

Strong start to the beginning of the new year. A mixture of inspirational and fun reads made the most of my January reading. Also in January, I made the most of borrowing books from the library. ππ #booksky #blacksky

All of this is part of a new feature on my blog, "A Year of Reading", providing ways and suggestions on how you can make 2026 your reading year!β
I talk about this and more in my blog and Substack post. I also give you recommendations on how to start reading the classics if you are looking to begin (or revisit them).
I love reading the classics. Through my travels through the classics, I have come across various editions that are perfect for readers who want to begin but don't know where to start. I compiled a list of my favorite editions to help you get started on your classic journey. β ππ #booksky
The Food and Drug Administration has reversed course and will now consider whether to approve a new flu shot from Moderna that uses mRNA technology.
The new development comes a week after the FDA rejected the company's initial application, saying its research design was flawed.

Trying to get the teen (or teens) in your life to read more? Give them this book. If you are in a reading slump (teen or adult), you will want to pick this one up!
Also, the audiobook is amazing! Very well done! I appreciated the sound effects to make you feel like you were listening to a podcast
I was at the edge of my seat, in shock and awe at every secret revealed. What I love about Emill's books is his portrayal of realistic and well-developed characters that will connect with any reader. And this one did not disappoint! ππΎππΎππΎ By far one of my favorite books of the year!

Another winner by Jumata Emill! I had a hard time putting this one down. It has everything that any mystery lover wants in a story: twists, suspense, and a podcast?! Emill builds an immersive story filled with twists and secrets at every turn of the page. ππ #booksky #blacksky
A reminder that Wuthering Heights is in the public domain, so if you are looking to read the novel (which I highly recommend to get a better and deeper understanding of the classic), you can read it for free through websites such as Project Gutenberg and LibriVox. ππ #booksky #blacksky
How do you start diving into the classics? I talk about that and more in this latest post. ππ #booksky #blacksky

As we celebrate the day of love, I am taking the time to highlight some books portray toxic and destructive relationships. You might see some familiar ones, including a major one that is released as movie today...

Then don't adapt the book if you are complaining that the book is so dense & not going to touch the entirety of the book. That is just laziness & spitting on the grave of original author. Every time I hear Emerald talks, her privilege is highlighted and also doesn't feel like she likes to read. ππ
