Off from work today, decided to do some book therapy, and came home with this #bookhaul 📚. A couple for Christmas gifts, but most to add to my library.
Happy Halloween 🎃!!
Things I love about living in my blue state/region: quality healthcare, no bathroom phobias or book bans, a better educated populace, voting rights, legal protections for marginalized communities, abortion rights, higher minimum wage, workplace protections, a wider range of social services, and acceptance of diversity as a strength instead of something to fear. I love New England. 💙💙💙🥰

pickJudy Blume was an eighth grader in Elizabeth, New Jersey, when 3 airplanes crashed into her town over the course of 2 months. In this book, she tells a fictionalized version of the residents living (& some dying) in these unfathomable events. She conveys the very traumatic experience for young adults and teenagers. while told from a young teenager‘s perspective, it is an adult novel. At the end of each chapter, she includes narrative from the ⬇️
