Today marks four years that I’ve been flailing about books on Instagram (I’ve been flailing about books in real life and on the internet for far longer). It’s May in education — IYKYK — so every time this bookstaversary comes around I’m usually too *gestures in my general direction* to do or say all the things. I’ll say this: this page has become an archive of what I’ve been reading, the hobbies I’ve been interested in, and how those things have evolved. It’s been a place to connect, and a port in the storm as we navigated a global pandemic and I navigated a number of personal hardships. It’s a place where people get petty, profound, and everything in between about one of my favorite things in the world — books — and I’m endlessly glad I decided to stop hovering on the sidelines and join the fray. 🩵 ID: It’s a top down photo of myself with my waist, legs, and feet visible. I’m holding two paperback books by my side with one hand. via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CstUYtLOxmk/
