More going at one time than normal. I blame the library, and book clubs. Also it can be hard being a mood reader.

she/they Love and compassion are acts of resistance. Forever in recovery; learning to be a better human.
I read far more than I realized. I’m trying to find better words to describe the feelings manifested by the books I read, so my reviews may be more feeling oriented than objective.

Poetic, Stunning,
5 stars

“Expendable” may seem a bad word to use to describe your own life, except I actually find it liberating. The way it vents away all pressure to become. How it only asks that you be.
