#NowReading: Red Rising by Pierce Brown
"I live for the dream that my children will be born free," she says. "That they will be what they like. That they will own the land their father gave them."
After learning his kind are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class, Darrow will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies.

There’s a little free book lending case across the street from this beach in Puglia, Italy.
One of the books is on learning the Italian constitution. I’ve been known to read some weighty books at the beach, but that would be a bit much (especially in Italian!) 😅

After various earnest and failed attempts over recent years, I've conceded that my particular lifestyle makes it hard for me to keep up with reading physical books. I read a lot of articles online, but sadly my books sit on the shelf, half-started.
Total game changer- I bought some AirPods, and my local librarian gave me some suggestions about joining Libby and borrowing audiobooks. This was all BRAND NEW stuff to me!
Holy cow, what a breakthrough for me! Now I'm joined up to 5 library systems, and am having a total BLAST 'reading' books again. Got through In the Heart of the Sea, and The North Water this past few weeks, loved them both. I'm using my AirPods while fitness walking, on long drives, and on the couch in the evening with my feet up.

Now I've decided to revisit some of my favorite authors I loved as a teenager- H.P. Lovecraft and Ray Bradbury. I'm curious to see whether the stories will thrill me as much now as they did then.
I also look forward to enjoying some audiobooks about Greenwich Village in the 1950s and 1960s, because I was a little girl growing up there at the time and i have such memories from that time and place.
I'm grateful that I finally found the 'key' to my being able to really enjoy book reading again. 📚🐛

New from Joelle DiPaolo: Texas state representatives spent Memorial Day on the floor of the House scrambling their way through a long list of controversial priority bills like Senate Bill 13, which would further empower parents and school boards to review school libraries’ books for “indecent or profane” content. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-lege-state-mandates-dei-religion-in-public-ed/

Biblioteca Central UNAM, Mexico City.
The Central Library of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) was built by Juan O'Gorman in 1956.
To create the impressive mosaic that covers all faces of the book stack tower, O'Gorman collected 150 varieties of stone in 12 colours from all around Mexico. With an area of 16'000m² it is the largest mosaic in the world.
