Things I wrote

  • The Essex Serpent

    After finishing, I'm not sure I totally understand all that was happening, but I do know that I'd love to hang out with Cora and the reverend and talk with them.

  • The never ending argument

    It may feel like we're taking steps backward at times, but I'm hopeful that the big steps forward survive and we build upon them.

  • Overwhelmed

    By the end of the weekend I was thinking and writing, and it was like I'd come out of a fog.

  • Where I Was From

    Didion doesn't shy away from the difficult topics, but does so in a way that when she lands the punch she's been leading up to, I was usually gobsmacked. I'll be reading more of her work, especially the non fiction.

  • My Name is Lucy Barton

    I laughed out loud several times and paused to think as well. And I'll admit it, it was lovely to have a story read to me.

  • Finally listening

    Recently I learned, yet again, that there are smart people in my life and I should listen to them.

  • The Last Magician

    You know it's good when you stay up past your normal bed time to finish it.

  • Accessibility for Everyone

    But, as is typical and wonderful in ABA books, this is a short, wonderful read and worth it if you want to learn more about accessibility (which we all should) and incorporate into your day to day work on the web.

  • Whiteout

    It's a well written and illustrated story—highly recommend.

  • Underground Railroad

    The first several chapters were, in fact, very difficult and I almost put the book down. I'm so glad I kept going.

  • The Obelisk Gate

    The story picks up almost immediately where the previous book left off but the pacing felt much slower.

  • Design Systems

    She makes it clear, over and over and over in the book, that there are many ways to do things. You can be strict with your design system, or extremely loose. It isn't that you have to do things a certain way, but rather that you figure out a way to make it work for your team and organization.

  • Over Easy

    Pond paints a vivid picture of the people, the place, and the time period (late 1970s).

  • Maker mythologizng

    One person talked about being a facilitator when you aren't sure what to make next. It was amazingly refreshing.

  • The New CSS Layout

    It's the perfect book to give you confidence and get you started on using the new layouts available in CSS right now.
