It’s Sunday! The perfect day to tackle that to-be-read pile. What book are you curling up with today? Share it in the comments.

An honor to attend Arianie’s presentation on Belva Ann Lockwood tonight with the @MDWomensCtr. Part of her special award at the 2025 #marylandhistoryday with @MDhumanities. Lockwood was a pioneer in women’s law. Proud of this Hawk! @DonnaClabaugh @FCPSMaryland
