Basically on the economic boycott especially regarding big corporations! Had to breakdown and support my local Indie , Changing Hands on small business Saturday though I actually picked Sunday. This looks so interesting!

#Sunrise urban Phoenix! The traffic patterns change the day before Thanksgiving, some still have to go to work ,some have been off all week, some will be gathering some last minute food items , some will be picking up whole meals , some will even wait till tomorrow! 😃🦃Whatever you are doing here in the US , Happy Thanksgiving Eve !

#majicmonday thanks for the tag @Eggs
1.Procrastination, the key is not working at it !
2. Organizing collections, books ,records, CDs whatever. I have less patience for it now.
3.wasting time ! Came to me naturally, see number 1.
Late to the party, everyone can play !

This is what happens when you have a B&N gift card!
No regrets ! 😹

#ARichLife #Tradition #Family I suppose I could type up the holiday recipes I use from these cookbooks, print up a little booklet . I have Thanksgiving recipes flagged in these various books and magazines, but I really enjoy browsing them again . Sophie and my socks, no extra charge! 😁 #CatsOfLitsy

#catsofLitsy morning coffee with Sophie on a stack of antique Arizona Highways magazines!

to think I would finish it today.The survivors PSA ,the survivors news conference,the vote.What a difficult & necessary read.Virginia needed to tell her side of the story,I‘m sure she felt its power, but also felt so much darkness remembering so much trauma.That rich & powerful people count on exploiting the young &
vulnerable ,with a sneer say who will they believe ,me or you ? I see her brother standing in her place , making sure she is heard .

#ARichLife #Pie There is something so cool about vintage pamphlet style cookbooks! This one is from 1957 .

#ARichLife #Spice 2 sweet little vintage spice containers I found not so long ago in a thrift store! Wish there had been more of them !

#ARichLife #HomeCooking One of the favorite cookbooks in the collection! A coast to coast tour of home cooking, across many decades of favorites! Virginia Ham, San Francisco Sourdough, New England Clam Chowder ………

Sophie is not as interested in rewatching Downton Abbey as I am !😻 #CatsOfLitsy

An important book that is going to stay in my library. I could rant all day about this one. I had to step away from this one sometimes. I knew it was bad , I didn‘t know it was this bad 😬😡😞

#sundayfunday The one that popped into my head was the friendship of John Wheelright and Owen Meany in this special book. Owen was small with an unusual voice , made fun of more often than making friends .
Thanks for the tag @Eggs ! Love your choice too !

#ARichLife #Saint St. Francis was my mom‘s favorite, she loved animals, he loved animals, it just makes sense! The other thing that crossed my mind was Bruce Springsteens song “ It‘s Hard To Be A Saint In The City “

#ARichLife #Pumpkin Two of my favorite Halloween decorations!

Just started this one .

#ARichLife #Earthy a memoir in my bookcase as yet unread !

Still working on these , have I had any time to read this weekend so far ? No I have not 🙁

The key to any Caturday is to start slow , says Tom Tom .
#Caturday #CatsOfLitsy

Hope your Halloween is great, Littens !
All treats , no tricks .

Harris pours out on every page the trials,tribulations, & occasional triumphs of running the shortest presidential campaign in history.I wish the results had been different. We are losing democracy and all the victories for justice, inclusion,and, the chance for a decent life folks .

Just cuz I wanted to post something cool on Friday! 1951 edition , everyone loves a map or a foldout!

#HauntsAndHexes #Nightmare Yep, this guy knows something about that !

How many bricks do I need on my nightstand? Saw an interesting interview with Sorkin on The Lincoln Project w/ Rick Wilson on https://youtu.be/I6rk9KgEEl8?si=ntM_6OPSCHTNupig YouTube. Another thing to worry about.

#HauntsAndHexes Do horror movies make you #Scream ? This book might be for you ! Saw it at my local indie, didn‘t take a peek inside, made me laugh because I have a good friend that this describes perfectly.

#HauntsAndHexes always a #Thriller or two in the TBR stacks !

#HauntsandHexes #Blood Remember it was quite amazing!

How I spent Saturday night ! A night of laughter though I found walking through the casino like being on the inside of a pinball machine! He was awesome!

It‘s here ! I preordered Rocky‘s book . I love his videos about helping shelter dogs. Heartfelt thanks to volunteers and donors to all the shelters, giving animals a chance to find a loving home .

“Apple currently uses 187 suppliers across 28 countries to make the IPhone” This slim volume in clear language explains why using Tariffs like a blunt instrument is bad for the economy & for businesses large & small. On again, off again creates instability, creates chaos. One of the most obvious problems shows up in our soybean market, China usually buys about 25% of ours . They have decided to source elsewhere. PS ,ultimately,WE pay the tariffs !

Because it came out yesterday and it‘s PYNCHON .

@TheBookHippie Oh yes ! Number 6 on the list , they feature the station wagon but it also came in a coupe !

@AlaMich yes indeed! 😁

Sometimes you just can‘t leave a book at Goodwill!😂

Books I‘m working on . However, there is lots of postseason baseball! 😄⚾️

Tom Tom says happy #Caturday Fall will not arrive to central Az. till November sad to say !

Mood

#Falling #Sunset wow another month flew by ! Thanks to our hosts for some great prompts this month . @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs I know there are a few I haven‘t read , I usually enjoy a Paul Auster book .

Mrs March has a husband, George who is a successful writer, has provided a nice life for themselves & son on the Upper East Side . When his new book comes out it‘s a sensation! But when rumors come that the unflattering portrayal of the main character is based on Mrs March , she becomes obsessed with the idea he‘s up to no good . Is George gaslighting her ?Is she gaslighting herself? An intriguing book of a woman descending into madness.

Because B&N gift cards beg to be spent ! 😄

#Falling #CountrySong yes , it may be the ultimate! https://youtu.be/LZbso7sNqv0?si=ddrqjCo8rXLLDn1O

#Falling #RedCover Haven‘t read this one yet !

#Falling #AutumnRain A friend sent me this yesterday a lot of rain in Globe ,Az.

#FirstLineFridays
“George Marsh had written another book.”

#Falling #Cinnamon Another book on the endless #TBRMountain
