This one was a low pick for me- story within a story very rarely is my thing. I have a very hard time stopping myself from skimming over those parts. The ending though, if I understood it correctly, blew me away. That‘s a big if so I look forward to discussing this at #CampLitsy this weekend. @Megabooks @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain

julesG Yet just about an hour ago I saw 4 coca cola cans completely enveloped in plastic foil. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Maybe a bit better than the can holders but still 😐. But, we don't throw our trash into the ocean here in Germany. We don't even do a lot of landfilling anymore. Most non-recycleable trash is burnt in special facilities with lots of air filters to make sure we don't add to the environmental pollution. 7d

I finally got to my #FoodAndLit #Bangladesh book (Although it was mostly set in India so I want to go back and see what the rest of you read.)

This novel revolved around several lives in the Sundarbans - river islands on the border of India and Bangladesh. There‘s a scientist studying freshwater dolphins, the prodigal nephew returning for the first time since he was sent as a punishment as a child, the young family struggling with expectations⬇️

Bookwormjillk And the hospital administrator quietly living her life as the unsung hero among those doing big things. The description of the area made me want to get in a boat and sail there right away. This is a slow start but I‘m really glad I stuck with it. 1w

I‘m with a lot of you that there doesn‘t seem to be a lot to celebrate in the US today, but the day off is much appreciated and is giving me space to plan, dream, and find joy!

Tuukula slid a plate onto the table - fried egg with mushrooms from a glass jar, heaped on top of a piece of square toast, buttered thickly.

#FoodAndLit #Greenland was a challenge on the food side, so I decided to recreate this breakfast from the tagged book. Yummy! Probably more suitable to someone who needs to hunt outside near the Arctic Circle than someone who sits at a desk, but a nice treat on a Monday morning.

1) went to the doctor and got a reasonable treatment plan for my spinal issues that doesn‘t require surgery (yet). Also started a virtual PT program through my insurance that lets me have the 3 sessions I need a week without missing work.
2) the heat wave broke for a day!
3) summer flowers and baby tomatoes
4) ran into Not My Cat on a walk. Turns out he was heading to my house 🤣
5) the Litsy crew. ❤️

Have a good one

I accidentally used a Everand credit on this when I meant to grab Yukon Alone. After a half hour of confusion about the book being about King Salmon and not an adventure race I figured it out and found the book very interesting. King salmon run along the Yukon River but like many other species are suffering with climate change and overfishing. The author takes a canoe trip to talk to the people who live along the river and see the salmon.

1) got some answers from my MRI which aren‘t great, but they‘re answers. I was so afraid they wouldn‘t see anything and tell me to lose weight and drink more water!
2) All the year end stuff - promotion, field hockey, last days
3) cats being good friends during a frankly shitty week
4) summer flowers
5) a bumper crop of peas in the garden this year. Yum!

It‘s been a long time since a book made me stay up past my bedtime. This one was so worth it though. It‘s one of those books where the story is about one thing (missing hiker in Maine) but really it‘s about something else (women.) I loved this. Might be my favorite all year.
