I'm so glad my club days are over lol. Photoshopping bottles and crowns on Martin Luther is wild. This is not the demonstration of freedom he was talking about. 😭

Heavy has been on my bookshelf for a while. I think 2024 is the year I finally read it.

I didn’t even share the worst one. The MLK Weekend “Freedom to Twerk” Party. $10 all night. Just wild 💀

I can’t recommend Heavy enough. Literally just talked to my therapist about it. I can’t think of a higher endorsement.

Fun read! Absolutely adding those books onto the TBR, thank you for that. The Stardew Valley bit made me chuckle, that is my daughter and I with Fortnite Lego currently on the weekends. Funnily enough, it has encouraged me to get up and tend to my own dying winter garden.

Wait, that’s so dope. I love that you and your daughter play video games together. I’m sure that means the world to her. Thank you so much for reading & you’ll have to let me know what you think about the books!

Atlanta never fails you. The MLK party flyers are on brand lol. I love Heavy by Laymon. I started reading Long Division by him. His writing inspires me to keep it simple, yet beautiful.

They are such a necessay evil. I have to love them. Long Division is a wonderful book. Always appreciate how Kiese honors revision and rewriting. If you haven’t read “How to Slowly Kill Yourself and Others in America” by him, I’d absolutely recommend it.
