#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain

Grabbed 📘Mycroft Holmes from my shelves earlier knowing I had to queue for a few hours.
📘At the Stroke of Midnight - eARC meanwhile published (I'm behind on #MountARC)
🎧 Riley Thorn #2 - for the chores
📘Ocean's Godori - eARC, not published yet, but see above

CogsOfEncouragement I read Mycroft Holmes with a friend a few years ago and we both enjoyed it. I made us bracelets to remember our fun buddy read. 2d
julesG @CogsOfEncouragement That's a wonderful idea. 2d

@dabbe

dabbe #1 reminds me of O'Dell's SING DOWN THE MOON, another fave. #2: Yes! And many consider THE OUTSIDERS to be the first “official“ YA novel written solely for teenagers. Thanks for sharing! 💚💙💚 4d

@Eggs (thanks for the tag! ... you, too, @TheSpineView! 😘💚😘)

1. Even if they don't like you or you don't like them, you still have to work together, so find a way! 😃
2. Retired dog mama. 😍
3. I'm happy with #2! I once wanted to be an astronomer until my first astronomy class where the professor said something like: “If you're here to look at the sky, you came to the wrong class. Physics first, people.“ Me: 🤔😳#dropclass😃

TieDyeDude 3. Ha! But sky so pretty! 5d
dabbe @TieDyeDude Exactly! That's all I wanted to do. Physics? #nothanks 😂 5d
ravenlee I took an astronomy class in college. The Monday class conflicted with a required rehearsal, so I took the Tuesday class. Friend in M class got to go “oh, stars so pretty!” while I had a Romanian professor teaching astrophysics nobody could understand (accent+material). Half the class dropped the first month, another quarter by midterm. I took it pass/fail and had to call my engineer brother every week to tutor me just so I could make a C to pass. 5d

ravenlee And the two courses had the same course number and credit! 5d
TheSpineView 😘🥰😊 5d
dabbe @ravenlee Yowza! You're way stronger than me to have gutted it out. I lasted one class period! 🤩😂😍 5d
ravenlee Thanks, but it was desperation more than dedication. There were very few core courses I could fit into my schedule, and it was too late to find/add something else. 5d
dabbe @ravenlee You're still a trooper IMHO. 😍 5d
Eggs Thanks for joining in 🙌🏻🩷👍🏼 5d
dabbe @Eggs 💚💙💚 5d
Kitta What a way to dissuade people away from a fascinating topic! Even if it contains a lot of physics I‘d want to encourage people to do it not get them to drop the class. But honestly if presented with the topic that way I‘d probably have dropped it too. Not that I took astronomy, I took only biology courses because I was in the UK and the structure of degrees is different there, but still. Boo to that professor. The sky is so pretty! 5d
dabbe @Kitta Your words made my day! This prof was known for his rather crusty demeanor, but still! Now I follow the skies whenever and however I want to. 🪐🪐🪐 5d

Great choice of topic @dabbe #TLT

1. Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin - showed the political prowess of Lincoln and how he was able to work with those he disliked/disagreed with for the good of the nation

2. The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom - a tale of perseverance, love and kindness. A tale of the innate kindness in humans.

3. The Storyteller by Dave Grohl - heartwarming and insightful. Felt like being with a good friend.

Librarybelle The Storyteller is so good! 2w
Mollyanna @Librarybelle It is! And the audiobook is the way to go…. Grohl does a wonderful job. 2w
Librarybelle Yes! I‘ve read it and listened to it…he does indeed do a wonderful job! 2w
dabbe #1 has been on my shelf for years! Time to read it! I read #2 years ago--excellent! And #3: I need some DG in my life! Thanks for sharing. 💚💙💚 1w

CatLass007 This on my TBR for March. It‘s good to find out out the opinions of others. (edited) 1w
DieAReader @CatLass007 ❤️‍🔥Agreed! I enjoy the series😏 I hope you do too! 1w
CatLass007 I enjoyed the first book in the series. I haven‘t read this one yet but I think I‘ll continue to listen to the series. It would be great if it‘s available via Libby and I don‘t have to spend money I don‘t have. 1w
CatLass007 It looks like the first 7 books in the series are available. Plus, the 8th book hasn‘t been released yet. Yay. (edited) 1w
DieAReader @CatLass007 That‘s Awesome!! So glad you found them😏📚❤️‍🔥 1w
CatLass007 Thanks! The first three books are included with my Audible subscription, which is how I got interested in the series. 1w
CatLass007 Another mystery series with a female investigator and which takes place in the Victorian era is by Laura Joh Rowland. The first book in the series is The Ripper‘s Shadow. We read it for #WhodunitTheSequel and I was a little skeptical, but it was good. I‘m getting ready to listen to the 6th book in the series. There are only seven books so far, but here‘s hoping. The Wrexford and Sloane mysteries by Andrea Penrose are another good series. 1w
DieAReader @CatLass007 🤓📚Thanks! I‘ll look into those for sure😏 1w
CatLass007 The more books on the ever growing wish list. 1w

I adore good narrative nonfiction, so picking only 3 is very difficult! So I‘m going to cheat. 😀

1. Tagged
2. “And the Band Played On”
3. “My Own Country: A Doctor‘s Story”
4. “The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl”
5. “Eleni”
