#TLT @dabbe

Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView

1. Even though I'm right-handed, I can only hold a phone in my left hand when speaking to someone.

2. I have an ornate hierarchy of coffee mugs that govern which I'll choose in any given situation.

3. I refuse to watch movies based on books unless I've read the book first.

TheSpineView You're welcome! Agree with you on #3. The book MUST be read first. 3mo
dabbe #1: #ditto! I find that I do pretty much everything with my left hand except write. 🤩
#2: I'm a mood reader; you're a mood coffee drinker! 😂
#3: YES! 🤩

The_Penniless_Author @dabbe I'm pretty sure it developed from me holding the phone with my left hand so I could scribble down notes with my right hand when I was a kid. Am I right in guessing that yours is because you were forced to write right-handed in school? 3mo

Deblovestoread Yes to the mug to fit the mood. I will rearrange or reach to the back for the mug that is right for the day 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2mo
dabbe @The_Penniless_Author I first started writing with both hands; then, I was “encouraged“ to choose the right one. I never even asked why as a kid, nor do I remember the teacher giving me a reason. I was a follower as a kid and just did what I was told. Not so much anymore. 😃 2mo
The_Penniless_Author @dabbe It's weird that not that long ago it was a commonly held belief that writing left-handed was "defective" somehow. It still is in a lot of places. My wife was forced to write right-handed growing up in Bulgaria, and she was born in 1984! 2mo
The_Penniless_Author @Deblovestoread I own way too many mugs. 😂 It was my go-to souvenir for years. 2mo
dabbe @The_Penniless_Author Wow! I think in some places it was even seen as evil. The right hand being the “right“ way to write. #funwithhomophonestoo 2mo
Vansa Same for me with the coffee mugs and the books to movies adaptations! I relaxed that for The Expanse tv show though, and don't regret it! 2mo

This was a fast and interesting read as I honestly didn't know much about this man...unless a semi-autobiographical musical staring Hugh Jackman counts.

Picked this up because the stage musical is premiering soon and I'm glad I did! Not necessarily a surprising story, but a well-told one, and an immersive one as well. Jacob might be the only person who ever successfully ran away and joined the circus! #historicalfiction

Loved this!

Woolf chronicles a part of history that has been overlooked but is integral to entertainment today: the birth of the freak show, the circus, and especially the people who made them possible. At times it reads like a PT Barnum biography, but its main focus is the ‘freaks‘ who commanded the attention of a society prone to look away.

Too long have they been in the dark; I‘m glad Woolf placed them in the spotlight again.

One of my favorite photos. My daughter's lovey, Big Bear, has a Christmas scarf around his neck. I found him like this one day.

At its core this is a story of forgiving yourself and others and letting God do the rest. Historical Christian fiction × international and East Coast domestic circus settings.
