@TheSpineView Thank you for the tag! I have had my ☕️ coffee! Relaxing day ahead after some silly shopping! Maybe a walk in the sunshine and then I hope to knit all while listening to the tagged book. @AllDebooks

dabbe What a glorious day! 🩵💙🩵 4w
peaKnit @dabbe Thank you!! It is the little things that bring the biggest reward ❤️🥰 4w
TheSpineView Sounds like my kind of day. Enjoy 4w
peaKnit @TheSpineView and then I foolishly suggested lunch out but dropped my marinara on a gracious woman - head to toe - seriously worst moment of my year so far. She was so incredibly kind to me, I cried and paid for her family‘s lunch. In this world a little grace makes my heart soar, but I did lose my appetite and ability to relax lol! 4w
TheSpineView @peaKnit Poor thing! How embarrassing. Sorry that happened to you but glad the woman was kind. Hope today is better. 3w

2024 Booker Prize. The narrative follows 24 hours in the life of a group of Astro/cosmonauts in the international space station as they orbit 16 times around Earth. What this narrative allows Harvey to do, however, is give the reader a different perspective on our planet - the lack of borders, the beauty, the inevitability (and our hopelessness) of natural disasters. I do wish I read it quicker - really a book to read in one sitting.

Lovely short novel that covers one day (16 orbits) of a 6 person International Space Station crew. As much a meditation as a novel, this beautiful book captures the pain and joy and awe of being human. Not big on plot, though!

Reading on the station about out of this world travel.

Bit of a contrast.

This is a book for kids to understand recycling. Still, I think we should be using other bottles of different products instead of plastic. #ISpyBingoFeb @TheAromaofBooks

I loved Orbital. A very poetic thoughtful read…I wasn‘t sure how any book could beat James for the Booker, but now I understand.
Loved Clear also.. another beautifully written thoughtful book.
Every year I read a classic…a chunkster…this year it‘s Middlemarch! This is my second attempt and I‘m determined to finish it..
Happy reading everyone

JamieArc I started Middlemarch a year or two ago when a group was reading it here on Litsy. I only made it a third of the way so finishing it is one of my goals too. 3mo
CarolynM My husband is reading and enjoying Middlemarch at the moment. He said he‘s thinking of it as a series of books, rather than one book, so he can take a break when he reaches the end of each of its parts. 3mo
Freespirit Hi @JamieArc I will let you know how it goes! I‘m sure it will be well worth reading 😊 3mo
Freespirit What a great idea Carolyn! I wish my hubby read novels more. I often read him snippets of books I read. He reads articles and some non fiction. I think I have convinced him to read Orbital😊 @CarolynM 3mo
