So for the first day of Pride (happy Pride! 🌈) I wanted to mention this trans couple again who are looking to get from Florida to safety. If you can share or donate, the link is in my bio 💜

TheBookHippie Thank you for sharing this! 21h

Look, this book is not pleasant. It largely felt like rolling around in filth. But I LOVED it. There was something compelling about the story that I just couldn‘t put it down. #lgbtq+

These two trans folks are trying to get out of Florida where it‘s no longer safe for them. I put the link to their gofundme in my bio. Please consider a donation, or at least sharing the link, to help them get to safety. Thanks 💜 🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

jen_the_scribe I‘m in Florida and it‘s absolutely maddening what‘s going on right now. I‘m staying because I‘m holding out hope that people are finally seeing the truth of the matter and just maybe we can flip the state next election 🤞🏼Hoping everyone who no longer feels safe here can make it somewhere where they feel embraced and welcomed 😔 2w
Sleepswithbooks This state is a disaster. I‘m so embarrassed to say I live here… which will only be for 195 more days. I have zero hope that things will change here and believe it will only get worse. I‘ll see what my financial looks like after I pay rent/next paycheck… maybe I can help a little. Meantime, praying for your friends safety and a sooner rather than later move. 2w

This was good, but not the sort of book you enjoy. Just one you experience and ponder. I think the second half of the book was the realest account of memory loss illnesses I‘ve ever read.

tpixie I read a great book once. But I can‘t figure out the title. She has Alzheimer‘s and as it progressed she called herself I, she, that lady, it It was very profound. I‘ve tried so many ways to try to find the book and have Not succeeded 2w
TiredLibrarian @tpixie Could it be this one? 2w
tpixie @TiredLibrarian no, but that‘s a great one also!!! I read them both about the same time - back when Still Alice was published. Ive liked in my Goodreads, googled it , to no avail! 2w
squirrelbrain @tpixie this one is non-fiction, a memoir by someone with Alzheimer‘s. 2w
tpixie @squirrelbrain I just looked at that also- the title would be perfect for my description. . It‘s not it. This novel would have been written by 2007- 2009 because I listened to it while commuting. Lol Somes I think I should ask Lisa Genova- maybe she remembers a book about Alzheimer‘s that was published around the same time as !!! (edited) 2w

One of the more interesting pieces I saw yesterday as a hobbled my way around the museum. Palmer‘s “Indian Girl, or The Dawn of Christianity” where she supposedly is hit by a spiritual bolt of lightning by finding a cross in the woods. Beautiful statue, sad re-writing of history. #themet #nyc

ImperfectCJ Probably this says not-good-things about my relationship with technology, but at first glance I thought she was looking at a phone. 3mo

I liked the mystery and characters, but the writing isn‘t that good. Still, I‘ll probably read the next one.

Ultimately, I agreed with the goodreads reviewer who called this book an infomercial. A little heavy on the “you can do it with my program” and light on the “what that program actually is.” But the trade off was I ate sushi while reading it so 🤷‍♀️ 🍣

Really enjoyed this #lgbtq hooiday romance. Got surprisingly invested in the characters.

Megara I get the title's Christmas song reference, but my first reaction was, "oh! Is this a reference of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash's song "Girl From The North Country'?" It has a completely different flavor than the holly jolly Christmas lyric! The line is "Remember me to the one who lives there for she once was a true love of mine." 5mo
