Michelle Grondine Instagram – aloha book nerds 💚 i has this post cued for a different caption yesterday, but i decided to start a spontaneous read-a-thon Live series where i’m going to hop on IG Live for an hour a day, picking different organizations that i am passionate about to highlight, with a primary focus on educational bbipoc, nbpoc, lgbtqia , young femmes, mental health, anti-bullying, suicide prevention instead. they won’t be at any set time, basically just whenever. they’ll be logged and saved in a “spontaneous read-a-thons” series over in my IGTV tab, like little hour long saved live-action lo-fi study music youtube streaming channels, but here at @travelingbooknerds it will be a live-action lo-fi reading music stream, complete with you very own customizable asian girl reading with headphones on as her pet animal familiar hangs out close by 🙃.

yesterday i read the first half of Never Play Piggy from @kellyoxford’s When You Find Out The World Is Against You: And Other Funny Memories About Awful Moments, about summer camp, expectations, and how to survive when you realize your reality and your fantasy are not one in the same. it’s poignant, funny, charming, relatable, heart warming, distressing, simultaneously both validating and mildly triggering all at once, and just an all around experience that made me physically react as i read it, which is always the biggest indicator that i am all in on my reading experience. so excited to finish reading it later, hopefully mid-afternoon 😌 high key currently juggling around 6 reads over here atm like a career academic so hoping scheduling in daily pleasure reading helps 🙃.
