I now have a total of 360 audiobooks in my library. 
I'm feeling pretty great about that!
I love listening to books while I complete other tasks. It helps keep the 'mind noise' to a minimum. #ADHD It also reduces anxiety and helps keep me in the present. win/win.
I also enjoy listening to audiobooks at night while following along on my e-reader. It's immersive. I recommend trying it sometime. :)
**The Average College Student Is Illiterate**
Hilarius Bookbinder
“_I’m not saying our students just prefer genre books or graphic novels or whatever. No, our average graduate literally could not read a serious adult novel cover-to-cover and understand what they read. They just couldn’t do it. They don’t have the desire to try, the vocabulary to grasp what they read, and most certainly not the attention span to finish._”

At a time when U.S. students are falling further behind in reading, volunteers in West Virginia are on a mission to reengage them. They are among those modeling the idea that building strong readers requires community, and a cultural shift. #education #reading #children

My March reading wrap-up on Storygraph.
A bit of a light month reading-wise as I just didn't have the energy in the evenings. Hopefully April will see me back on track.

I’m only halfway through “The Bright Mirror: Women of Global Solarpunk”, but it is already a solid “recommend”. Even having skipped one of the stories, it has so many things I like - a focus on non-men, international writers and stories with cultural flavor, and hopeful arcs. I’m sure there are other places to get it, but I got it drm-free through the story bundle here: https://www.storybundle.com/books/4414

Though some logic issues abound (how DID they get all those scissors and make those outfits?), Us is more visually confident than Get Out and Luptia Nyong 'o gets the Toni Collette award for 2019 for Best Performance not nominated for an Oscar.

Holiday #reading for #Scotland trip arrived. Note to self… ‘offensive’ language not allowed when giving feedback on eBay! I altered ‘idiot’ to ‘buffoon’ and that was OK apparently. In hindsight I prefer that! Going to use it more.
