Finding comfort in revisiting Nick Cave's THE SICK BAG SONG this morning.

Coffee with Yuri Herrera #fridayreads

Love, shame, love, and a glass of kale/pumpkin goo. Because @Jakovitz loves this book and I love glasses of goo.

New to the TBR pile, which is longer than any reasonable expectations of my lifespan. But I'm bumping this one up close to the top.

Ooh! Look what I got!

Feeling pretty good about the latest additions to the TBR pile.

Beauty in my mailbox when it was sorely needed. I'm excited to be in conversation with Kelly Luce @Powells 11/13.

Dipping in to @esmewang's THE BORDER OF PARADISE while I wait for the music camp recital to begin.

Good mail day

So much depends
on the Home Depot bucket
crusted with mud

Campsite reading

I've already got five books on the go but I want to start every one of these NOW.

Friday night re-reading

Crossing Lake Champlain with Alejandro Zambra

"Ahora pienso que es bueno perder la confianza en el suelo, que es necesario saber que de un momento a otro todo puede venirse abajo."

Alejandro Zambra blew me away at the Franklin Park Reading Series last night. My brain is still crackling a bit this morning.

The impossible task of winnowing the vacation stack. We'll only be gone 2 weeks. Some of these have to stay behind.

This is about to happen.

"Once Andrea managed to grow a blue Hubbard squash the size of a manatee, but did that constitute happiness?"

At PDX, #AWP16 bound! My cab driver used to play basketball vs Mitchell S Jackson, so I'm taking that as a good omen.

Someday visiting my baby at Powell's might lose its thrill. Today is not that day.

An embarrassment of library riches

"We have failed to fully appreciate how deeply housing is implicated in the creation of poverty."

Sunday morning in Garfield pajamas. I'm enjoying this book quite a bit. Reminds me of Patrick McCabe.

Perfect Saturday morning

Tonight's edition of Reading Outside My Daughter's Door Until She Falls Asleep

Reading this tonight in one sitting, because sometimes it feels really good to be sad sad sad.

I just finished reading this tonight. Absolutely wonderful.

I just got my hands on this beauty from @Catapult and holy crap is the contributor list impressive!

Self-care = long walks with an audiobook from the library while the kids are at school

Poised to dive in.
