Yes! I finished Heavy by Kiese Laymon and it influenced me to reread more than I do. There’s always something more to take away from a work especially in new life circumstances

I know! I miss seeing you around! I had time today to slow down and read (appropriate that it was a post about slowing down and reading) and just delighted in everything you wrote. Can't wait for term to be over to catch up.
