#WeeklyFavorite

Not much reading going on but did manage to finish 2 books since the beginning of the month. All the lovely reviews of the tagged book were spot on and I really enjoyed Death of the Author for #CampLitsy.

@Read4life

Read4life I‘m glad you had two enjoyable reads this week. 💙🍍💙 13h

1) I forgot my phone so no beach pic but had a lovely walk on Saturday and it was so clean. Well done to the folks who cleaned up after the 4th!
2) A very tired Pippin after our walk. Getting up and down the dune in the loose sand is hard work.
3) A new Sinead O‘Connor song 💙 https://open.spotify.com/album/1zRBstfS1hrewghWWzyRHw?si=Yx1OREc-R9y1_pAbwnukAg
4) The deer just watching us walk by.
5) Time spent with my dad.

Friends I believe we have a troll (?). No posts just a weird comment on @Eggbeater #WDNCW post. Thought you‘d all want to know and proceed with caution

DEFINITELY A CREEPER. COMMENTED THE SAME ON MINE. LET THE BLOCKING BEGIN.

#WeirdWordWednesday

I saw a IG reel posted by Cory Booker of a woman sharing the definition of trumpery. And sure enough it‘s right there in my Miriam-Webster dictionary. Sometimes the universe gets it right.

@CBee

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DL27UaMPpAV/?igsh=b2xiZDZieGd0NHlw. Edited to attach the reel so all can enjoy!

DGRachel Wasn‘t it from Auntie Bev? She lives in the Raleigh/Durham area of NC. I adore her and she‘s worth following on IG in her own right. 4d
Trashcanman Whats a good word for the people who believe his bullshit? Suckers, idiots, delusional, racists, bigots? We need a new word that encapsulates all of those into one. 4d

Trashcanman @Sace Thank you. But I think that his supporters are much more than just idiots. A lot are. But you can be an idiot and not be a racist, bigoted, heartless, POS. Just calling them an idiot is too kind. 4d

Today, and everyday, I am grateful for all the women who came before me and those here now.. Those who fought and continue to fight for a woman‘s place at the table. Those who do the hard work of caring for their communities, who are fighting against the atrocities that are happening on our streets. Those who remind us that we are all human, we all deserve dignity and caring for your neighbor is the point. They give me strength.

4) Time in my sewing room. Finished a baby quilt

This kindle edition of the tagged book is weird. On page 36 there was an author pic of Agatha and I thought ‘sloppy editing‘. Now there are different pics on pages 79 and 114, does that mean it‘s intentional? Is so, I don‘t think I like it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

These lines are from the tagged book. I listened on my drive to attend a show with my daughter. A story about a young woman trying to live the life she wants not the life that is expected of her…and she has the privilege to do that.

As I drove I thought about that last line in depth. Do we not ALL deserve to live our right life? Without poverty, food insecurity, without racism, hate for who we love, how we dress, what we believe? ⬇️

#MentalHealthMonday

1) I‘m ok today. Feel like last week‘s funk is dissipating. Had a good walk this morning, did some chores and got groceries. Ready to start the week.
2) Daily walks, lots of pug snuggles, lunch with a friend and hubby is home for the next ten days.

#WhereAreYouMonday

Mesopotamia 631 BC
London 1840
Turkey 2014

How else could I experience theses places in these times if it weren‘t for stories? How bereft my life would be without books. How thankful I am to be a reader!

@Cupcake12

AmyG I can‘t ever imagine not reading. What would I do with my time? Where would I go? 🤣 2mo

#WeeklyFavorites

Juliet Tilney and Jonathan Darcy are each sent to London by their parents to expand their social connections and if they find a match so much the better as long as it‘s not each other. Of course murder happens and they are again called into help the investigation. I‘m really enjoying this series and glad to know there willl be at least 2 more.

Thank you #NetGalley!

@Read4life

Read4life Looking good!! 💙🦋💙 2mo
BarkingMadRead There better be at least two more! I can‘t wait until the next one, and this one isn‘t even released yet 🤣 2mo
