(1/2)
I've been (slowly, because it's an emotionally intense journey) reading the Tillerman Cycle of young adult novels by Cynthia Voigt. Because I couldn't remember her, even though in a high school English paper that turned up in a box on my porch, I mentioned her as a favorite author.
I think I couldn't remember her because her novels hit with pinpoint accuracy a lot of the feelings I experienced growing up in an abusive family. They resonated so much that she was a favorite at the time, but my brain couldn't hold on to any information about the books because it was too real and too much to process while I still wasn't safe.
(this is all just to introduce a mother's day quote...)

I’ve been a big sci-fi and fantasy reader since my early teens.
I vividly remember reading Wings of a Falcon by #CynthiaVoigt. That was when I realized fantasy books were different.
My love of sci-fi I blame on The Revolving Boy by #GertrudeFriedberg and Z for Zachariah by #RobertCOBrien
