Not a lot of reading this week but since I‘m resolved to not be a Litsy stranger again … BEHOLD my triumph over a skirting board! 🤣 This wretched thing was glued, nailed, painted and carpeted in. It took two days, a plant lever, half my tool box and the invention of a number of new expletives to get it loose but now the cabinet that‘s going there will fit flush to the wall (after I deal with the TV antenna) 🥳🥳🥳🥳

dabbe 🤩🤩🤩 1mo
CarolynM Congratulations, that‘s a major achievement 🎉 Always glad to see you here😘 1mo
GlassAsDiamonds @CarolynM honestly - a pox on every social media renovator who just pops these things off like a jar lid. LIES I TELL YOU, *LIES*… 1mo

For young readers this series I'm finding out is a solid way to entertain and introduce history to Juv readers without overwhelming them details they may not fully understand. It's a fun way to educate and hook a young reader into enjoying nonfiction reads

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

What a coinkydink- I‘m reading about 10/22 on 10/22!

This is the date Marie- Antoinette‘s son, Louis- Joseph was born, 10/22/1781

AnnR I had to look up coinkydink, as I hadn't heard that term before, lol. 👻😁 6mo
tpixie @AnnR lol 😂 my sister used to use it. It may not really be a word! 😂🙃🤣 6mo
tpixie @AnnR oops and I realized I didn‘t use the photo with the date highlighted 🤦🏼‍♀️ (edited) 6mo

AnnR @tpixie - The word came up in the Urban Dictionary, so I think that counts. 😂😁 6mo
tpixie @AnnR yes! 😆 6mo
tpixie @AnnR I just told my husband about the dates & he said maybe we need to buy a lottery ticket! 🎟️ 6mo

Poor Marie Antoinette.
Bad omen:
The celebratory fireworks for her marriage to the future king of France (at age 15)
killed several by fires and trampling!

LaraS 😱 I had no idea about that fireworks disaster! 7mo
tpixie @LaraS me either! When I read about it in the book, I had to find out if it were true, and it was!!! 7mo
