This month marks one year of full-time RV traveling across the US for my husband and I (and Tajin!). I wanted to share some of my favorite books I have read or plan to read about road travel and what we learn about ourselves when we explore and ramble. #bookrecommendations #ontheroad #rvlife

The white and blue text at the top of the photo says On the Road Reads, and below are five book covers in a grid from left to right, including Fat Witch Summer by Lizzy Ives, The Road to Tender Hearts by Annie Hartnett, A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers, Get Real Chloe Torres by Crystal Maldonado and Rest Stop by Nat Cassidy.

Thank you humble peppermint oil for all your service. I bought you in 2016 from a vendor at the Texas Renaissance Festival and you have made my migraines more bearable for ten years.

To celebrate Disability Pride Month, here is an excerpt from @violetagarza.bsky.social "Bless This Inconvenient Body" from her poetry chapbook, Brava published in 2025 by First Matter Press. I adore this book and was lucky to get a copy when Violeta aided my April @geminiink.bsky.social workshop

A graphic photo of a bright blue and cloudy day in Texas overlooking a field of Bluebonnets. Transposed over this photo is a torn sheet of white notebook paper taped down with blue and black handwriting that says Bless This Inconvenient Body, The Earth's core slows to a tepid halt. From there, a whisper-we've belonged to each other this entire time. This entire time.
