#HelloThursday @wanderinglynn

Adulting Edition:

1: having the capacity to cut out toxic people
2: paying debt
3: none of it. I miss nothing about childhood
4: depends on your definition of adult? I‘ll just go with “bookseller” because that covers the most ground
5: you can‘t force someone to heal — and trying to takes away their agency

Checking in #BFC. Stretching done today and first book finished. #bookfitnesschallenge #fitnesschallenge #bookchallenge @wanderinglynn

How could I resist a self-help book based in Ancient Greek philosophy? Light reading, but some interesting tidbits in there. Ancient Greek psychonauts. 😜

*sigh* I just started physical therapy and it looks like I have to change my #fitnesschallenge for #BFC . Great first check in, huh? I‘m going to aim for 3 days of stretching a week instead of an hour of walking a week — I could hurt myself. @wanderinglynn #audiowalking #bookchallenge #bookfitnesschallenge

Mon/Tues are my weekends rn.

1. I have several cracked open, but I think I‘ll pick something different up tomorrow (or tonight).
2. The Ladies of Grace Adieu by Suzanna Clarke.
3. Poppies and peonies.

I wish Hanne Blank had added her works cited in footnotes throughout the text instead of only including a selected bibliography at the end. I don‘t like reading through a book and wondering “Where did you get that information?”

A book discussing virginity is long overdue, though, and I appreciate Blank‘s efforts to compile an accessible survey of the topic(s) covered.

#HelloThursday ! @wanderinglynn
1. Fanfic is a huge genre that includes Tolkien, Virgil, and Dante — so yes.
2. Tagged! Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.
3. I read the news online. I‘m too broke to subscribe.
4. When I‘m completely engrossed in what I‘m reading, nothing can make me put the book down!
5. No, but there‘s one down the street from me. I think I‘ll donate some books soon. @TheBookDream @Mitch

Okay! This should be fun! My goal is walking at least 1 hour per week and reading 4 books — my new classes start May 20th so I don‘t want to overload myself. #audiowalking @wanderinglynn #bookchallenge #fitnesschallenge #litsywalkers

Everyone is welcome at the library! Until it‘s 5 o‘clock then GTFO. 😂

Finally made it through one of my books borrowed from the Swem #library. Only 15 more to go or so? 😅

Ever been curious what the Rockefellers read? I can‘t say I am, but these are their books from Bassett Hall in Williamsburg, VA.

This section of the Swem #Library 😍

Project Gutenberg 🖤

My screensaver

Picture my dad took and edited that he calls “Megara dreaming of books as she sleeps.” Couldn‘t fit the entire photo into Litsy, so I tagged one of the other books from the shelf.

#friyayintro @howjessreads
1: Read minds.
2: Partially read.
3: No resolutions!
4: re-watched The Good Place and Twin Peaks.

More research days #ColonialWilliamsburg #library #bookhaul! I went from just researching John Custis IV to also researching his son Jack, born of JC‘s slave Anne.

#BookHaul from the #ColonialWilliamsburg #library. I love research days. Not pictured: Williamsburg Area Residents Files on #JohnCustis and his family. #johncustisIV #amIactuallygettingpaidtodothisrightnoe

How are y‘all spending your evening? I think we chose our propaganda wisely. 🥂

“How Edgar Allan Poe Became Our Era‘s Premier Storyteller”

www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/edgar-allan-poe-became-era-premier-storyteller-180971001/

Reading Reaper Man, drinking the lavender-vanilla-cinnamon tea recipe I dreamt about last night, and listening to rain+fireplace sounds on my Sonos speaker. ♥️

I‘ve learned something about myself today. According to powerthesaurus.org, synonyms of “homebody” not only include “loner,” “recluse,” and “hermitess,” but also “grownup.” #litsyhumor

Guys. I think I‘m an adult.

I‘m still celebrating public domain day!

Duke University‘s spreadsheet of texts that have entered the public domain:

This is a good Christmas present.

It‘s actually Saturday but #friyayintro ! @howjessreads
1: according to my GR account, 50 books this year. Also creating a reading nook.
2: no. This year we had pizza and wine before falling asleep at 9:30.
3: I guess Wonder Woman because of her basis in classic mythology, Black Panther, or Deadpool.
4: June.
5: 🙌🙌🙌

I hope y‘all had a great public domain day! 🎉

This story has been too long repressed. Finally I‘ve read this. ❤️💔

“We can only learn from the real history. Many don‘t see the real history! The reason we have not learned from history is because we have not embraced the truth of what has happened.”

What‘s in your 2019 reading challenge?

Have any of you checked out NYPL InstaNovels yet? Sounds interesting. Article provides links of other ways to read — including Neil Gaiman reading it to you. 😍

I always find book sales and library checkout trends fascinating — the way they correlate to current events and culture.

This is my favorite #librarian joke so far 😂 #chaucer #library #litsyhumor

I don‘t know who to credit this, but you need to see this, @MrBook #tatertots #tots

Only real friends know this is the holiday card they should send you 😂

My tree topper is the best 😜 #nevermore

This came in the mail today and I am so freakin‘ stoked! #orphic #orphism #hellenismos #polytheism #classics #ancientgreece

Remember that black gown I mentioned? Here it is! 🖤

Seamus Heaney provides an accessible, modern translation of Antigone. Breezed right through it.

It‘s fun to reread classics since becoming a Hellenic polytheist. 🖤

“And if death comes, so be it. / There‘ll be a glory in it. / I‘ll go down to the underworld / Hand in hand with a brother. / And I‘ll go with my head held high. / The gods will be proud of me.”

Worth the read. But now I just want more Dionysus. 🖤

A picture of myself from that one time this past week I felt well enough to go to work. Can I be done being sick please? 😷
