With typing spy cats and talking dolphins plotting to go on strike, Charlie is being surprised at every turn .How can he possibly outwit his enemies even with help in this totally new to him game? My first Scalzi , won‘t be my last , fun and sarcastic! 😂👏
#JulyJazz #PlayOutside the endpapers of this book feature kids outside. As a kid ,my friends & I played outside till dinner. In the summer,I was on my grandparents farm. Work & play , but I loved it all!
It‘s #Caturday make it a good one ! Crosby on top, Dusty hides below 😻 #CatsOfLitsy

Hey @TheBookHippie I‘m just on chapter one and I am 😡😲😳😤😱
pick#SeriesLove2025 Detective Stilwell had a run in with LA county sheriff‘s department politics & is exiled to Catalina island. mostly doing nuisance policing till a dead body is found weighted down in the harbor. 1st bk , new series.As Connelly does , the place becomes part of the story. I want to see where it goes. People that live on the Island keep a car in Long Beach , for appts.& supply runs.already mentioned legendary 1920s LB bar, Joe Josts!
Vintage matchbooks from a favorite thrift! A California selection.
#Julyjazz #peaceful when it‘s too hot in the afternoon to do anything but read with Sophie relaxing with me !
#CatsOfLitsy
Years ago I saw the tagged book had won a Michener award, the subject of farms always interested me . I spent time on my grandparents farm , found another title by him at a library sale, got that too . Maybe this is the month I try him! 😄 #SundayFunday
#HalloweenInJuly confirmed! I bought this at Goodwill yesterday , they had started to put out Halloween the previous Saturday!🙄😱
pickDefinitely shines the light on how we got here.The Reagan years were awful in my opinion, he definitely started the race to the bottom, trickle down economics, didn‘t. Less about people, more about corporations.The rise of Rush Limbaugh,one sided views of the political scene created the tunnel vision leads to the current cult . An uptick in extreme right activity ,the murder of radio host Alan Berg . Buchanans America 1st ,white & exclusionary👇
Today‘s find 25 cents ! Sometimes this one bears the title Murder After Hours
Proof I was in Phoenix Sky Harbor airport yesterday! 😁
Some read , some yet to explore , You‘re welcome! Love these tags !

My gems from the Barnes and Noble that opened in Phoenix,Az . yesterday. Lawless has been on my radar for awhile, The Acid Queen , a discovery. Love books about 1960s counterculture, no surprise, the women have been less written about than the men. The little tabby is a Folkmanis finger puppet!
#WeDoNotCareWednesday #WDNCW
Because I was having a low energy day I did not care that I put off all the phone calls and emails that would require an appointment or a follow up ! All I wanted to do was go to the New B&N opening up , it was great a many people showed up ! Grabbed some groceries and read . Sometimes you gotta take a break!
#JuneSpecials #Beatles Of course I‘ve browsed the McCartney photo book many times, I grabbed the other one at a concert at the Musical Instrument Museum a while back & haven‘t read it yet . Definitely an iconic group in the Rock canon !
#JuneSpecials #Canada Some Canadian authors in the stash !
#JuneSpecials #Music A touchstone for me forever,I am an Absolute Beginner ! https://youtu.be/v9glU6WzsdM?si=QxWmOu1Gq6NlxvDO
Yay!

1.I liked Tag , Hide & Seek ,we had some weird croquet and bocce ball games when I was older.
Indoor board games, especially Monopoly ! Clue !
2.Someone mentioned pre VHS ,DVD days Wizard of Oz was on network TV once a year , you marked the date ! Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer and all the Peanuts holiday specials we looked forward to! I was a horse book girl,also remember fondly when mom & I read Little Women together!
Took 3 months for this hold to come in ,started today. I was around to clearly know that the Reagan years were the beginning of the end and predicted how we got here. I‘m sure it will fill in some details and I get to get mad all over again!😡
pick#serieslove2025 a CDC doctor gets taken , a month later,a big blast near CDC , a university,2 hospitals and a FBI field office. As Sarah and Will rush to the scene ,chaos ensues,Sarah is abducted, and there is no doubt a larger conspiracy is at hand.
Dark forces have bigger plans , both Will and Sarah will be challenged to even survive, let alone stop a group who doesn‘t tip their hand about the plan . Very intense read .
#JuneSpecials #Flag playing catch up. This book was published in 2004 .So much has changed in the political climate since then .🙄😱
My #NoKings Scottsdale,Az. It was super hot ,even though I love the bigger numbers down by the Capitol, it‘s hard to get in & out of there quickly if you are sensitive to the heat and I am .Was blown away by the amount of people on 4 corners of Camelback and Scottsdale road . People were connecting, passing out water , seniors in large numbers .Bless them all.It started at 8 am to leave before businesses opened. lots of honking as cars rolled by.
It‘s #caturday After going to a protest I wanted something sweet and gentle to calm myself down! This sweet book did the trick. While using the alphabet to describe cat characteristics, they describe different breeds of cats and the general domestic house cats most of us rescue or adopt!
pickHer story,fascinating. Yes,TWs galore,to read her experiences growing up in a cult called the Children of God ,shocking & sad .It is really amazing how she decided to leave at 15, tried to start at school,had to be tested to be placed , she didn‘t exist! Though born in the US she lived in many places to stay one step ahead of problems for the cult .joined the Army,was in Afghanistan,an era where her right to be there was challenged .
🫣😬
So many delightful designs! Her inspirations span history, cultures , trends,& traditions
#JuneSpecials #Cheese I remember really enjoying this years ago. I don‘t have a copy to refresh my memory!😄
#JuneSpecials #Egg Kenny Shopsin begged an Arminian grocer to sell him his corner bodega .Kenny continued cook their signature roast beef for sandwiches, with a simple set up eventually had over 900 offerings. A neighborhood favorite in the Village , NYC for decades. Kenny also had a temper , and fools probably wouldn‘t get served. I ate there twice, guess I didn‘t act like a fool! Love this slider on the cover of this book.
#JuneSpecials #GoBarefoot a deck of poses , I should do more yoga again . balance is important ,also maybe I could calm down!🧘♀️
#Bibliophile #FoundInTitle Bet there are some great and not so great in here . I was browsing on the B&N site, will definitely take a look if I find it somewhere.
