I really want to enjoy this one, but I can‘t stay focused on it. Perhaps I‘ll try again later, or read in small doses.

Started this gem on my lunch break today. It's making me want to get a degree in cartography. That could lead to a sweet library gig.

TobeyTheScavengerMonk @tpixie I cannot comprehend what watching the show would be like for someone who has not read the books! 7y

Purrfectpages I'm from New Jersey too! Yay! 7y

tpixie @TobeyTheScavengerMonk I'm sure im@missing out on stuff! 7y

Texreader Ditto @tpixie. Dream job! 7y

maich Penguin books👍❤ Ideal job for a bookworm.😊 7y

PirateJenny @Purrfectpages yay for Jerseyites! 7y

PirateJenny @tpixie The Drop Caps are wonderful! Some of my faves are the hardcover horror classics we did a few years ago. Guillermo del Toro wrote the intro for the series. 7y

PirateJenny @tpixie The trilogy and the series have some big differences but the series actually has a fantastic way of explaining it that works so well. I love them both a lot. 7y

Purrfectpages Whereabouts @PirateJenny? I'm in Monmouth County. 7y

PirateJenny @Purrfectpages no way! Me too! I'm in Matawan. But I grew up in West Belmar and my dad lived in Eatontown (Middlebrook) for 30 years. What a small world! 😁 7y

Purrfectpages Small world @piratejenny! 7y

A #map of the Trail of Tears makes up the endpapers of "Creek Mary's Blood" by Dee Brown. I originally posted this map as an endpaper for another prompt.

Cinfhen I love when books use such beautiful endpapers and what a sad story 😔 7y

Donna_sBookMinute ⭐️@Cinfhen -- So do I. They're an extension of the story. 7y
