pick4.5 ⭐ I just don't think anyone beats Erik Larson in nonfiction telling today. I always find his books fascinating and end up learning things I never did. Isaac's Storm is no different. It is about the deadliest hurricane to ever hit America. It happened 105 years before Katherine, in 1900 in Galveston, Texas. The hurricane killed thousands and demolished the city. Some say had it not been for the hurricane, Galveston may have been as ⬇️
Reading Day!!!!
And more to come ☃️❄️ in Colorado Springs
Was able to score 21 of the 38 from a thrift shop while on home visits today. Sadly my childhood faves: rainbow and thunder/lightning aren‘t here and my set was ruined in my parents basement. These copies are in perfect condition, I don‘t think they‘ve ever been read. I can‘t wait to share them with Wes!
Last Saturday to this coming Saturday 🫨😵💫🤪Barometric shifts 😵💫

It was 70F here yesterday and humid and freaked us out
Today is 11F and wind and snow which is still warm for us in February 👀

Good job, LA County Libraries. We‘re onto our third day of steady rain—and I haven‘t left the house! The past two nights we‘ve had flood warnings and I‘ve shifted activities onto Zoom instead of in person. Unfortunately today I have to venture out—to the chiropractor and the dentist. Praying for safe roads and sane drivers!

I bought this book on a Kindle Deal the other day & it #InvolvesExtremeWeather about the Galveston Texas of 1900. 🌀 ⛈️🌪️
Looks like a great day to snuggle under a blanket with a book. This is The Deep South™️, y'all, near Nashville. And it's going to snow all day. All of you affected by this storm, hope you're safe! Stay warm! ❄️
pickIsaac has an award named after him. So it was interesting taking a dive into who he was and what went down, which suggests the credit to him may be overhyped. As someone who work who works in this field, it‘s a humbling reminder, and it‘s a solid read.
