The Gilded Age: Overture to the American Century | Alan Axelrod

@jenlovesjt47 - I'm on season 3, episode 3. Had to share a rough haiku because the change in dynamic between these two is hilarious! 🤣

#haikuhive #haikuaday

JenlovesJT47 Ohh how the turn tables!! 😅😅😅 When I tell you, the scream I scrumpt the first time I saw it when Bannister addresses Ada as head of the house 😍😍😍 1d

lil1inblue @JenlovesJT47 And then when they print Ada's name as the donor and not Agnes' - I nearly peed laughing during that scene. 🤣😍🤣 1d

JenlovesJT47 Ooh so you‘re just now watching these eps for the first time?! Ohhhh you are in for a treat, season 3 is the best so far imo! Can‘t believe there‘s only one episode left this season 😭 BUT luckily they already got renewed for season 4 🤓 1d

The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker: The Story of Britain Through Its Census, Since 1801 | Roger Hutchinson

pick

I found this surprisingly riveting at times, though some parts are slow. It charts both the census itself and the things it recorded, touching on things like industrialisation, the Highland Clearances, the Potato Famine, emigration, immigration, WWI, WWII... all kinds of things which affected the population of the UK. Also there's a bit on the wider “British Empire“.

Today's reading is getting me off to a good start with #BookSpinBingo!

We just got home from a five-week road trip in our trailer—our first long trip! Of course, bookstores had to be visited along the way! This is my multi-state haul. It includes books from Vroman‘s in Pasadena, CA, The Last Bookstore in Burbank, CA, Powell‘s in Portland, OR (of course!!), the Smith Family Bookstore in Eugene, OR, and one from Bend but I forgot the name of the store. 😬 I think I showed remarkable restraint for that many stores! 😂

Ruthiella Oh! My friend Greta will be pleased you went to Smith‘s in Eugene! @inlovewithmyshelf 1w

inlovewithmyshelf Yes! I ❤️ Smith Family Bookstore although the one I always visited was on the U of O campus. Sadly it closed down in October 2019. 😢 1w

CindyMyLifeIsLit @ruthiella @inlovewithmyshelf It was an amazing find! I will definitely be going back—my son lives there and has a coffee shop in Eugene. 1w

The Letters of John Keats | John Keats

"I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain."
- John Keats to Fanny Brawne

While reading some of Keats' poetry this morning, I was visited by these four butterflies: Speckled Wood (top left); two mating Gatekeepers (top right: I think they were more focused on each other!); and a Large White. And some water lilies ???
