Brothers Karamazov | Fyodor Dostoevsky

Bk2 Ch5
"I know that about five days ago he…took out three thousand roubles…packed them into a large envelope with five seals,& tied it across with red silk tape…And on the envelope was written: “For my angel Grushenka, if she decides to come”, scribbled by himself, in quiet, on the sly, and there‘s no one who knows he has the money there except his manservant Smerdyakov, in whose honesty he believes like his very own self."

Aimeesue @TheBookHippie unbeknownst to us when we adopted her, she‘s an Australian Kelpie They‘re herding dogs, so maybe she was trying to herd her flock? Of penguins? 😂 She‘s a handful! (edited) 3mo
TheBookHippie @Aimeesue oh my. I have an aging Diva English Bulldog. That‘s enough 😂 3mo
Aimeesue @TheBookHippie Winnie, yes? Charlie the Kelpie is running our Winnie (pibble) ragged! 3mo

BarkingMadRead Herding a flock of penguins 🤣 best picture ever btw 3mo
Ruthiella I think the original saying was “that‘s making matryoshka doll hats out of chewed up Christmas ornaments” but eventually “making lemonade out of lemons” for some reason became more popular. 🥸 3mo
Aimeesue @BarkingMadRead She herds her TOYS occasionally, so I bet she‘d be delighted with trying to round up a bunch of penguins 😂 3mo
Aimeesue @Ruthiella Hahahahahaha! Yeah, I can‘t imagine why. It just flows off the tongue! 3mo

I‘ve had Haruf on my radar for a while & intended to grab myself a 2nd hand copy of any I come across. The first I found was Our Souls At Night, which I read & loved a couple of years ago.
Then this one turned up in my own little street library. I rarely take books from my own library, because I mainly have it to dispense them!
I see that this was Haruf‘s first novel, & the other I read was his last. 🙏

Finishing this book tonight, and it also completes my #Pantone2022 challenge for this year. Thank you for this fun one @Clwojick

Funny it‘s my last book for this one, happens to be the center square, and wasn‘t picked by me at all but the #SheSaid reading group pick. #Serendipity #Bookendipity

Clwojick Woohoo! Way to go! ❤️ 1y

Helen, this was lovely! @squirrelbrain Kept me occupied while waiting for my mammogram! 🤦‍♀️Thank you for putting it in my hands…. So perfect for me! A humorous romantic little essay, on the joys of picking books you never knew you needed or wanted…. i.e. the total joy of browsing a bookstore. 💕📚

Thank you Helen!
I really enjoyed this little book on the joy of bookshops (and the great sage Donald Rumsfeld!) And I love the idea of bibliomancy with PG Wodehouse 😁.

The notebook is so much fun as well (we‘ve been trying out elephant yoga & cat exercises this week, not to mention reading about dragons doing ballet, so fox dancing is just perfect!)- can‘t wait to find the perfect project for it.

Hope you and yours had a lovely Christmas 😘

squirrelbrain You‘re welcome Rachel! Sounds like you had a lovely Christmas - I‘m assuming it was your niece who was doing the cat yoga etc?! 2y
rockpools @squirrelbrain Why yes, how did you guess?! We were trying to copy these (especially the green one!) https://bit.ly/3EyBjSx And then of course there‘s 2y
rockpools Did you have a good Christmas Helen? 2y
squirrelbrain Looks like fun! 😁 We had a lovely Christmas thank you - a quiet one and then lots of visitors since the big day, but all coming to see the puppy, not us! 🤣 2y

Thank you @squirrelbrain !
I‘m going to spend all day debating what to use the notebook for 😂

squirrelbrain Hope you‘re having a lovely day! Loving that you‘re covered in bows - did your daughter do that?! Is she old enough to understand this year? 😘 2y
Cathythoughts Lovely! And gorgeous picture ❤️ 2y
eraderneely @squirrelbrain she did do that. And made sure to add one for baby brother. She‘s loving Christmas this year, especially as her grandparents are here! 2y
