The Wake of the Wind | J. California Cooper

pick

Whittling away at my #14Books14Weeks2023 pile.

My first book by J. California Cooper and definitely not the last. The title is an intentional nod (or maybe eye roll) to Gone With the Wind. The book tells the story of Lifee and Mordecai Freeman and their journey from enslavement to self-sufficiency after the US Civil War. It‘s not easy but they persevere and succeed despite all the forces aligned against them.

Weaveworld | Clive Barker

“And beneath the smell of decrepitude, something more bitter and more human. The scent of sweat, perhaps, soaked up by the boards of a sick bed, or in the fabric of a lamp that burned through a night whose endurer had known no morning. Not a place to linger too long..”

Slaughterhouse-Five (Anniversary) | Kurt Vonnegut

The language here is so playful, but also so descriptive. This is a prime example of the wonders of Vonnegut‘s writing.

Faibka Yes! I devoured this book because the writing is so good 5y

GingerAntics @Faibka I feel like I‘m just inhaling this book. The writing just keeps you charging forward. It doesn‘t lag or drag anywhere (so far at least - I‘d be surprised if it started). 5y

My Dog Is As Smelly As Dirty Socks: And Other Funny Family Portraits | Hanoch Piven

Biscuit and Gravy are the best of friends! Most of the time. Sometimes Gravy is nothing more than Biscuit‘s pillow. #nationalpetday #dogsoflitsy #stinkers

madamereadsalot1 Their names are SO great! 5y

Geeklet @madamereadsalot1 Thanks! Biscuit came here first. We found her next to a dumpster with no chip or collar. We had her for a year but she always seemed sad. We got Gravy from a woefully underfunded rural shelter and Biscuit perked right up! But now we‘re stuck naming any future dogs after breakfast foods, lol. 5y

madamereadsalot1 @Geeklet I love rescues! My kit-cats are rescues too! And your breakfast theme is SO good! You need like Bagel, or Toast, or Grits! Lol! 5y

TheLibrarian How adorable!!! ❤️ 5y
