Apparently today is #WorldBookDay (why am I always late to these parties?)!

My #photography has been almost entirely self-taught, and most of that has come through reading books on the subject. I was a bookworm before I was a photographer, after all.

#Creatives, what's one book that has had the largest impact on your work? Let me know in the comments! Mine was Understanding Exposure (and others in his series) by Brian Peterson

A stack of books about photography sits in the foreground, with another stack behind. Slightly out-of focus in the background, we see a portion of a woman sitting cross-legged on the floor, surrounded by the books, turning the page of the book she is reading.

📖 **Enough Is Enuf by Gabe Henry review – the battle to reform English spelling**

Matthew Cantor

“_In his amusing and enlightening new book, Gabe Henry traces the history of these efforts, beginning with a 12th-century monk named Orrmin, continuing through the beginnings of American English and the movement’s 19th-century heyday, finally arriving at textspeak._”

📖 **People Turn to Conspiracy Theories in a Subconscious Quest to Feel Like they ‘Matter’, Research Suggests**

“_The science of psychology reveals that people’s judgments and beliefs are strongly guided by their motivations, and because conspiracy narratives make people feel significant and special and often offer hope for a better future, they tend to be taken seriously by ‘significance-deprived’ audiences exposed to them._”

Taylor & Francis Newsroom · People Turn to Conspiracy Theories in a Subconscious Quest to Feel Like they ‘Matter’, Research Suggests - Taylor & Francis NewsroomWhile all people are innately driven to find meaning in their lives, this subconscious desire pulls some people to conspiracy theories and dangerous belief systems. After an extensive review of psychological research, renowned social psychologist Arie Kruglanski and journalist Dan Raviv show how people’s need for ‘significance’ propels our actions, governs our feelings, and dominates […]

Book 17 - The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood

An experimental, feminist retelling of Penelope from the Odessey. The use of the chorus (the maids' narrative), was inspired. It disects class and gender that remains relevant to today. It's unflinching in the abuses, yet bitingly funny.

3.5/5

Happy #WorldBookDay ! So, um, this is a special one for me because this year is the first time I HAVE BOOK. It's about real-world zombifiers—fungi (yes, like in #TheLastOfUs) worms, viruses and wasps—and their invertebrate victims.

OK, so it may not be the coziest of reads, but if zombies delight you perhaps this will too!

And if you buy a copy through @HopkinsPress , use the code HLFE25 to get a 40% discount, good through 4/30.

apparently it's world book day... incidentally, I read 3.5 books in the past 2 days after a rather long slump.

✅ still life in bones: genocide, forensics, and what remains by alexa hagerty
✅ the housemaid by freida mcfadden
✅ the housemaid's secret by freida mcfadden
▶️ trick mirror: reflections on self-delusion by jia tolentino

I listened on audible while working on repetitive tasks and then resumed on kindle when I'm off the clock. it's turning out to be a great system.

Check out Brewed Books' review of Mushroom Blues by Adrian M. Gibson, where she says: "The world building was so immersive. I felt like I was right in there among the spores. And our main characters had such strong voices and such growth.

I would definitely recommend picking this one up!"
