Sometimes I read a lot and sometimes I barely read at all. Between my brain fog and the days spent in bed from the sheer pain, my chronic illness both helps and hinders my reading habits.

Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha might be one of the most important books I've ever read. I laughed, I cried, and I yearned for a better world for disabled people while I read this book.

These days, it feels like books are my favorite hangout spot. There are so many I'm excited to dive into and to share with you.

Thank you to @penguinrandomhouse for gifting me a copy of When We Make It by Elisabet Velasquez

I haven't done much for Latine/Hispanic Heritage Month. Mostly I've been tired and haven't been posting much in general. But I do want to remind you that while we are all categorized as one ethnicity, that doesn't mean we are all the same. Make sure to read Latine authors, yes, but also make sure to read diverse Latinx stories. I know how difficult that can be, and it's been one of the biggest struggles as I've sought out Latinx stories more intentionally.

I'd heard so many good things about Hood Feminism by Mikki Kendall, and I'm so happy I finally read it! This book has me nodding my head a lot of the time as well as learning about the experiences of other women of color and the needs they often have.

Hermosa by Yesika Salgado is last in a trilogy of poetry books about love and Los Angeles. It's also the first in the series I've read, but I'll definitely be reading the other two.

Happy book release day to When We Make It by Elisabet Velasquez and congrats on the debut book!! Thank you to @penguinrandomhouse for sending me a copy. I started it last night, and I'm so excited to get further into the story.

Don't Date Rosa Santos by Nina Moreno is such a cute YA romance featuring a Cuban-American girl whose mother and grandmother both lost the loves of their lives to the sea. Because of this, she doesn't go near the water. Then she starts crushing on a boy with a boat.
