Before April ends I want to spotlight some #actuallyautistic voices who have written about their experiences or have written autistic characters!
Weāve got some memoirs, weāve got some romance, weāve got some sci-fi - thereās lots to check out! šI added so many books to my own TBR thanks to this video and I canāt wait to update everyone about these books once Iāve read them as well.
Please remember that weād like to move away from the awareness narrative towards Acceptance and Appreciation. Letās listen to autistic people when talking about autism and amplify autistic voices in the advocacy for more inclusivity.
One organization you can consider supporting is the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN): autisticadvocacy.org

This is my first time answering a tag, I was actually tagged in!
Thanks so much to @alex_unabridged for the tag. Check out his video for Trans Day of Visibility here: youtu.be/XD_vD0LPSHk
Iām tagging @troytradup ! If you like tags, check out his Broadway Booktube Tag here: youtu.be/KHT19Tg9X8Q
This is just a short catch up to kind of explain why I left my ND-Friendly Readathon Hanging and to kind of summarize what books Iāve been reading. Itās not really a wrap up just a little overview. Also gives teasers for the videos next week.
If youāre interested in seeing which books I paired with the wine Iām drinking š·in this video check out this Wine & Book Night: youtu.be/OKLksMsxcFo
In the meantime, if you want to see my book reviews before they go up on the channel, you can follow me at my šbookish socials (donāt worry, the reviews arenāt exactly the same. I post the review right after I finish the book and I usually write up my notes for a wrap up some time later so usually thereās additional insights in the wrap ups):
I wonāt plug my socials since Iāve not had a chance to work on those yet since Iāve come back. Hopefully next week thereāll be new content over there for everyone to enjoy.
Today I announce my first ever read-a-thon! This read-a-thon is focused on building a reading habit instead of reading as many books as possible. So for everyday next week starting on March 14, please join me as I read for 30mins a day.
Instructions for Tracker: 1. Click link above [this will open the Google Sheets file] 2. On the top left corner, click the tab File and then in the drop down menu select Make A Copy [this will open a window] 3. In the window, rename the file to your preferred name and save the copy in your own Google Drive
**for everyoneās ease of use, the link is View Only so you will really need to make your own file if you want to use the Tracker
I hope some of you will join me in my first live and I look forward to celebrating Neurodiversity Celebration Week with all of you!

Thank you for continuing to put up with the lack of booze on this channel š¤£I promise weāll get back to regular programming soon.
Iām also apologizing for this video being pretty filter-heavy. I donāt normally use filters but there was something up with the lighting on this video that I didnāt catch during filming and this was the only way to make it a little less obvious (even though itās still pretty obvious). Bear with me as I develop my video-editing skills.
We do a deep dive into my thoughts on two new favourite books - I give detailed reviews on what I liked and didnāt like.
Second - the lighting is weird, Iād gotten used to shooting in natural light and this week I had to use my lights and forgot what settings to use.
And thatās it! Todayās video is just straight up TBR - leave your comments and suggestions on what I should read or prioritize in the next couple of months!
A Brief History of Protests in the Philippines (Full disclosure, this is an article written by me for my full time job. It is relevant to the topic, Iām not just plugging it to improve my metrics lol) : https://www.amnesty.org.ph/campaigns/protect-the-protest/protest-history-ph/

Iām sorry this weekās Tuesday upload is coming up a little late. Life just got in the way.

Itās such a fun tag. Here are the prompts:

2. Annie: The sunās come out tomorrow. Recommend a book that takes place after the end of the world.
3. Hamilton: I wanna be in the room where it happens. Recommend a book in which a character is in a room where they shouldnāt be at a key moment
4. Oklahoma: Where the wind comes sweeping down the plain: Recommend a book that makes very good use of its setting
5. Phantom of the Opera: Turn your face away from the garish light of day. Recommend a book in which a character actively embraces the dark side of their personality
6. Wicked: Something has changed within me, something is not the same. Recommend a book you loved so much, it made you feel you could defy gravity.
7. Grease: Youāre the one that I want, ooh ooh ooh. Name someone youād like to see do this tag.
And Iām tagging: @TangibleReads @CharlieTheBookStack
Cheers, š„ JArgentinian Malbec for a Not-So-Romantic Valentineās Wine & Book NightBoozy Bookish Thoughts2023-02-17 | Hello my boozy bookish friends!
Welcome back to another wine & book night! Valentineās Day style! š· Be warned that none of the books we talk about today are romances, even if they have a romantic relationship at their center.
Love to hear your thoughts on these books - no spoilers please!
Thank you so much to Emerald for this lovely wine š
Happy Valentineās Day! Cheers! š„ JI Wonāt Say Iām In Love Book Tag! (My first book tag!)Boozy Bookish Thoughts2023-02-14 | Hello my boozy bookish friends! š·
This is the very first booktag I made myself and itās mostly to give me a tag to do on Valentineās that doesnāt require a whole bunch of romances! In fact you get ābonus pointsā if you use non-romance books!
Here are the prompts:
1. Fall head over heels - recommend a book that features an accident of some kind (could be a meet cute or could be a tragedy or even a cliff hanger)
2. Match made in heaven - recommend a book where at least one scene takes place in heaven and/or a character is from heaven (fallen angels do count)
3. Apple of their eye - recommend a book where food or drink are a major plot point (bonus points if it involves fruit, double bonus if itās apples)
4. Take their breath away - recommend a book where (the main) character has a near miss with death (bonus points if they pass out)
5. Tie the knot - recommend a book that involves a wedding - it doesnāt need to be set during a wedding but a wedding, planning for a wedding, traveling to a wedding, etc has to be major plot points (bonus points, if itās not the main characterās wedding, bonus bonus points if it is not a romance)
6. Only have eyes on you! - tag other people you want to do this tag!
For this video, Iāve only got eyes on -
@M-J from Reading This Life @kellireadsalot from Kelli Reads A Lot @shelvesofsamantha from Shelves of Samantha
I always love watching all your tag videos and Iād be tickled pink if you did my tag! š
In the meantime, please join me on my bookish socials:
Today weāre launching another signature series - this time I talk about how being autistic and ADHD impacts my reading and my reading habits. I thought it would be good to start off with the very basic explanation for why I struggle to maintain a reading habit. This got real real real quick so please excuse if Iām not at my best.
For any questions or comments, please just leave a comment and Iāll do my best to answer!

Today we talk a little bit about why I was MIA, the books I read in November and December as well as what kinds of videos you can expect in the next few weeks.
Kinda a serious talk today - why and when content warnings are important.
For those who opted not to watch the video for their own mental safety but want to know a summary:
I talk a bit about my own mental health and how content warnings help keep me safe when I am feeling fragile. While we are not responsible for the safety of others, we can be helpful and give them the information they need in order to make informed decisions for themselves. I also talk about when I believe content warnings are necessary and when they might not be necessary.
This video is hardly edited cos honestly it was very hard to shoot and hard to edit. Everything is hard right now, honestly. But this channel is important to me and I want to choose to spend time and energy here. I just hope everyone understands while I do my best.
Cheers, J

I was supposed to upload this last Friday and then have no videos this week - instead I decided to skip last Friday and put this up last Tuesday. Unfortunately the internet where I was having a business trip was just awful so itās going up today instead.
Deep dive into my thoughts on my most recently read books. Spoilers? Not really. But lots of unpopular opinions.
I have a couple brain farts in the video. I could have edited them out but I left them in for authenticity and to show what the ND thought process is like. I just annotated them lol so you know Iām as annoyed watching them as you are.

I talk about a French Malbec and some murder-mystery books Iāve read (and one I want to read).
Slight trigger warning for tangential mention of self-harm.
I hope to back to my regular schedule of videos! Wish me luck and thanks for watching!
