Texas, News and Books.
Hey, guys! Thanks for all your kind words when you reached out this week. As I mention in this episode, Nathan and I were both very lucky in the end, but there are a lot of Texans without clean water and some still without power. If you'd like to and have the means to help, here are some links:
--A lot people's pipes bursts causing flooding and horrible damage. This organization is helping with that for citizens in Houston: https://www.weststreetrecovery.org/donate-to-west-street-recovery/
-- Habitat for Humanity is offering a similar program for low income families in Austin: https://austinhabitat.org/programs-services/home-repair/
-- A center for abused children in Austin was flooded and is asking for donations of supplies: https://www.safeaustin.org/get-involved/wishlist/
-- Feed the People, Dallas is helping to feed those without the resources to get food at this time : https://feedthepeopledallas.com/
-- There are so many ways to donate, another way to stay up on who needs what, is to check out Beto O'Rourke's twitter page as he's got loads of links and suggestions to help, if you're able to: https://twitter.com/BetoORourke

Wowww can’t believe it’s coming up on 4 years!! And yesss a summer book club would be so fun!
I would 100% be down for a queens podcast book club!! But until then, it would be so awesome to have a Queens podcast/Katy’s corner Goodreads account that we could follow!
If you like Kristen Hannah she has a book called The Winter Garden. It’s about two sisters and the relationship with their mom. The mom lived in Russia during the siege of Leningrad. During WWII the city was cut off from supplies, the siege lasted 3 years and over a million people died. The book is really interesting, and I went down tons of rabbit holes afterwards
Thank you for recommendations! Will definitely be checking a couple of those out.
