#mentalhealthmonday
I do the stuff my anxiety normally prevents me from doing. Eg. On Sunday I installed and used the vacuum system that came with my car that I got last year. Every time I looked at it I‘d freak out, afraid I‘d mess it up, etc. But after the incident with my son on Thursday (see previous post about 2 down from this) I must have needed to show myself I could still control something. :)

pickY‘all…whew. This built me up, ripped me apart, then stole my heart, then stomped on it, then I loved again and swooned. Just aaaaalllll the feelings and emotions. Would recommend.
pickMy favourite fantasy series. First time I've re-read it in over 10 years and it's still as good as I remembered.
I do need a break before the next book. Maybe something cheerful and not as complex?

so-soI wanted to like this one bc #pirates, but...
I know that real pirates sucked and I think Ames wanted to convey some of that with our MC, who felt like she had to be ruthless in order to get respect, which, I guess can be hard to get when you're single-mindedly chasing after your adopted "brother" (and keep failing to capture him). Still, I think the MC could have had more personality. Nothing she ever did truly made me want to follow her story.
pickCatching up on reviews after a crazy few weeks. This is a wonderful children‘s story that is equally for adults about a despot who takes over an island and bans the letter O, and the way the village responds to the irrational situation. Timely and applicable.
This is me. I want all the women in his life to Murder on the Orient Express him.
I actually can't remember what happens to him and it's making me anxious that he's going to stick around and make things so much worse
Did some post-breakfast outdoor reading with Cooper before the heat warning dropped into place.
SPLASHDANCE SILVER is another digital freebie I‘ve had forever, since a) it didn‘t make it onto La TBR because LibraryThing couldn‘t find it and I was too lazy to add it manually and b) for some reason I thought it was like 600 pages long. It‘s actually more like 300, and the first couple chapters were fun! I‘m eager to really sink into the story.
I'm reading my 1998 edition of Ship of Magic and the pages are like tissue paper!
pickI really enjoyed my July #ThematicCozies pick. A fun and easy series, this one took place during the annual pirate festival. I liked it enough that I‘m currently reading the next book in the series.
