Insomnia Bird

Introducing my latest project: a booktube channel! As you may be aware, I have been greatly limited in my ability to read print and look at screens over the past month, while I am healing from a concussion. But I can still talk! So I have made little videos talking about books and reading. You are invited to hear what I‘ve got to say via this link: https://youtube.com/channel/UCtvMCwkxsmnbqnTghQhg6pw

Ruthiella How exciting! I am addicted to BookTube and will for sure check it out. 👍 2y

I've been compiling Tim Hortons references in my reading again. Fourth blog post on this topic, featuring four more books (for a total of 22 so far). Check it out here: https://lindypratch.blogspot.com/2019/05/tim-hortons-in-canlit-take-4.html

There‘s too many of us here —
we can‘t be seen just standing around!
The foreman pointed with his cigarette,
You four — go hide in that trench!
Shepherd‘s hand on the damp trench wall,
fingers on a vein of clay,
he found a fossilized mollusc,
freshwater clamstone powdery white,
long-buried memory of pelican water
that once covered this place.

I leaned forward to ease my lower back while I was reading. Frida took this as an invitation to climb up. #kittieslovepoetry

Samplergal Adorable. 5y

Lindy @saresmoore @Lcsmcat @BookishMarginalia @Louise @Ruthiella @AmyG @Samplergal Frida is grateful for her legions of fans. 😽 5y

Samplergal I miss cats. I haven‘t had a cat for about 10 years because we have dogs that are aholes with cats. 🤨 Give her a hug. She looks abused. 😂 5y

LeahBergen Ohhhh! 😍😍 5y

LauraBeth That‘s some adorableness right there! 5y

Lindy @Samplergal I understand missing cats. Feline energy is a lovely thing, especially with a cuddly cat like Frida. 5y

Lindy @LeahBergen @LauraBeth She‘s a sweetheart. 😊 5y

AlaMich She is clearly a Litten with fur because she is evidently very curious about your book! 😻 5y

Lindy @AlaMich There are a lot of magpies in this poetry; she is always interested in birds. 5y

Reggie What a cutie!! 5y

batsy Such a sweet picture! Frida is so adorable! Signed, Yet Another Fan. 5y

I‘m still collecting Tim Hortons references in literature. (Littens, please tag me when you come across them.) Just found one in this poetry book:
“Your right hand might literally not know / what your left is doing. Does one shake / an empty paper Tim Hortons cup?”

(Photo: Timmies cup spotted while I waited for the bus earlier today.)

Penny_LiteraryHoarders I read one book that had references to Swiss Chalet and Shoppers Drug Mart that made me smile. 😃 5y

Lindy @Penny_LiteraryHoarders pop culture touchstones 👍 5y
