In the Freud Archives | Janet Malcolm
post image

I‘m doing the disciplined thing and finishing my assigned reading in the book on the right (A Handbook to Old Testament Exegesis) before moving on to the #NYRBBookClub selection for this month. 😍 The OT book is surprisingly good! It‘s all about unpeeling the layers of literary nuance and the history of interpretation of the biblical text. Still…I‘m really looking forward to moving on to Malcolm‘s offering!

Singout Cool! Many years a group I joined a small Torah study group, led by a queer feminist, that was open to anyone. I learned so much about the Hebrew scriptures, as well as Judaism, that I hadn‘t learned as a Christian. 2y
saresmoore @Singout That sounds amazing! I am learning so much. We start Womanist Midrash next week! 2y
lostinwords The Epic of Eden by Sandra Richter which I‘m reading now is about the OT too. It‘s an interesting overview of the people, the facts, and the story. After reading a synopsis of this one, I think I‘ll put this one on my TBT list. Thank you for sharing. (edited) 2y

saresmoore @lostinwords That sounds like an excellent book! I certainly did not come into my study of the Hebrew scriptures with that kind of organized overview (or appreciation), but I‘m growing to love it for the complex & dynamic literary composition that it is. 2y
BarbaraBB You‘ll love the Freud I think! Good to see you! 2y

In other news, Clara Jo‘s favorite activity is reading (of course) and her big sisters are loving their intentionally diverse arts- and science-focused public charter schools. The pandemic sucks, but we are all living with intention and doing our best. Missing my Litsy friends and I‘m hoping to have more time to interact here! ♥️

Semester one of my graduate degree in (Christian) Spiritual Formation is complete and I‘ve begun semester two! It has been quite a journey. Last semester was a deep-dive into personal identity, enlightenment, and the problems of the White supremacist evangelical patriarchy & the western Christian world‘s systematic destruction of the earth and human community. Now onto the mystics and feminist/womanist/liberation readings of the Old Testament! 😅

MaureenMc Congratulations! 2y

My reading life has been all over the place lately, often in the form of following a scooting baby around the house with a borrowed ebook in hand. 😆 This series is fun. It‘s been nice to read some light fare lately (lots of YA) interspersed with the NYRB picks and psychology & spirituality books for my continuing education. Perhaps I‘ll post a review or contribute to a discussion again soon! Then again, maybe not… 🙃

Sorrowland | Rivers Solomon
post image

We made a fully vaccinated, socially distanced trip to Greensboro, NC this weekend and I discovered a lovely independent bookstore. I was delighted to find a new book by an author I love, Rivers Solomon, and to learn that they would be presenting at the (virtual) Greensboro Bound Literary Festival on my birthday!

saresmoore For more info on the festival, visit greensborobound.com. 3y
ncsufoxes I love Greensboro, they have so many neat places/shops. I‘m a UNCG alumni, great school & great city 3y
saresmoore @ncsufoxes Cool! We were so impressed with the city and the commitment to diversity. It‘s a stark contrast to Wilmington, which seems to still think it can sweep a sordid history of racism and a present state of inequality under the rug. 😕 3y

BarbaraBB I just read Everything Inside and loved it! I think you will too 💚 3y
ncsufoxes @saresmoore yes, one of the things that I loved about UNCG was their commitment to diversity & inclusion (I graduated in 2003 & this was the way it was then). They really work hard as a university to make a difference in the community & students are expected to be active in the community. I have heard things haven‘t been great in Wilmington (we live in CA now but we‘re from NC). 3y
saresmoore @BarbaraBB Lovely! I‘m sure I will, then! 3y
saresmoore @ncsufoxes Whereabouts in CA? We lived in Pasadena and Ventura for a few years and loved it there. 3y

Nothing But the Night | John Williams
post image

This book is a trip! Aside from the obnoxious “male gaze” description that lasted waaay too long, I appreciate the interior deep dive and the pretty wordsmithery that Williams is bringing, thus far. There is a quirky cast of characters, but the book is really only about Art, albeit on many levels.

2020: the year I kicked panic disorder‘s ass, had a bébé, and drafted a whole damn book. It‘s been a helluva year and it makes me very cursey, but there have been some awesome things to come out of it. I‘m feeling thankful and full and ready for a new year, please, very much.

Moray_Reads @saresmoore we are allowed to meet family over the Christmas period but it's only 3 households per “bubble“. I'm not seeing them in person so that my parents/brother, my sister's family and my other brother can get all together. It's tough since I've only seen them once this year but it makes sense as they're all in the same area. I'll stay in Edinburgh with my partner and we'll see his family in Boxing Day. How is your Christmas looking? 3y

“During the third battle, Hsing-te was wounded and regained consciousness only as the wounds were being dressed by a comrade. He had no recollection of being struck. Probably it had happened after he had fainted. From these experiences, he came to the conclusion that going to battle was not so hard after all. After shooting his stones, he was free to faint or do anything else, leaving the rest to fate.”

saresmoore I can‘t imagine this approach to life, let alone war (!!), but it says a lot about our main character. 3y
vivastory Agreed. The way he described the soldiers being tied down to their horses & occasionally horses would return with dead soldiers in the saddle. So grim, but he relayed it in a detached fatalistic tone 3y

Big Little Lies | Liane Moriarty

Well, this book was much more intense AND better written than I expected. It was a bit triggering and dark, but I thought it was well executed. Moriarty kept me guessing and turning pages throughout the book. I finished it up tonight as we watched early election coverage together as a family. It is just STRESSFUL, this whole crazy world in the last four years, and the tagged book turned out to be rather stress-inducing, too. 😑

LeahBergen I‘m watching from here in Canada! 3y

“Isn‘t it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive—it‘s such an interesting world.”

I‘d say Anne pretty well exemplifies that enthusiasm, even if she does match it with melancholy.

Love this game, Kristine! #litfortunecookie

Pickpick

I loved this book because of its protagonist & narrator. It‘s an excellent character study and the storyline takes a backseat to the quintessentially American Sally Jay‘s musings and antics as a young expat in 1950‘s Paris. Dundy shows us a scrapbook of a particular time & place, adding her own embellishments and creating a muddled narrative of tangible experiences and blurred memories. I found it to be hilarious and unique. #NYRBBookClub

saresmoore Baby Clara is channeling Sally Jay‘s exhibitionism. 😆 3y

valeriegeary @saresmoore who hoo! I did NaNo this year too. Fiction, though. First time winner! I haven't figured out yet how much crap is in there but probably too much. 😬 I'm writing a lot these days. Though publishing for me is a bit stalled at the moment as sometimes happens. I'm hoping for something interesting to happen with all that soon. In the meantime, I just keep laying down the words. 😄 3y

QuintusMarcus I tried to like this, and thought it was boring. Maybe I should try it again. 3y
saresmoore @QuintusMarcus It does have some pacing issues, but when I started to get bored, I read the intro (no spoilers) and had a new appreciation for it. It‘s really a character study and a snapshot of a specific time, place, and subculture. The plot does thicken, too. 3y

saresmoore @Suet624 I can‘t believe it! I‘m actually thankful for being cooped up from the pandemic because I feel free to savor every last minute with this miraculous baby while she‘s still squishy. But as to your babysitting again, I think the way you‘ve come back into your empowered sense of identity through activism & involvement while also owning your grandmotherly role is BEAUTIFUL. Whatever gives you life is worthwhile, but you will always be so much 3y

This book is an excellent inspiration for simple painting projects inspired by the work of current artists. My kids tend to take the projects to the next level. 😆

LeahBergen ❤️💙❤️💙 4y
saresmoore @Bookwomble It is a natural affinity! She knows more about bats, snakes, plagues, and death than any other nine-year-old I know. ☠️ She also loves babies & kittens and has invented a hilarious persona of a snarky old woman, named Auntie Mia, who calls everyone “Dearie.” She‘s a complex individual. 😆 4y
saresmoore @Lindy If we lived anywhere near you, I‘d be begging for a chance for us all to sit at the feet of your creative curiosity. You inspire me! ♥️ 4y
saresmoore @Cinfhen We are all doing really well, though we are missing time with friends. Clara is an absolute gem and we all adore her chubby cheeks and baby squeals. Life is hard work, but so, so good! How are you, sweet friend? 4y
Lindy @saresmoore That‘s so sweet of you to say. I would welcome you and your girls, as long as nobody steps on my broken toes. I‘m hobbling slowly these days. 4y
saresmoore @Lindy I‘m sorry to hear that! It‘s amazing how much such a small part of the body can slow you down so much. 4y
Lindy @saresmoore Yes, it‘s both big toes. Turns out they play an important role in balance when walking. It‘s been two weeks, so healing is happening. 4y
TrishB Gorgeous inspiring pic ❤️ I‘m in awe how you fit it all in. 4y

I‘m loving this history timeline picture book. It‘s told from the perspective of a boy who finds history boring, so his teacher gives him a magical notebook that transports him to different times in the past. There are interesting facts and profiles of famous people and it is, refreshingly, not a whitewashed version of history. And the illustrations are beautiful!

This year, on the first day of homeschool, my older girls woke up to a letter from the esteemed headmistress (baby Clara) of S‘Moores School of Innovation & Inquiry, inviting them to enter the parallel world of a boarding school where “magic is in the mind.” They were each placed in a house named for a famous woman innovator (Grace Hopper & Temple Grandin) and began their journey of imaginative exploration for a new school year. 👇

tpixie I‘d love to send my grandchildren to your school! Awesomeness!! 4y
saresmoore They each designed a house crest and came up with a motto based on the qualities they share with the remarkable woman for whom their designated house was named. Two things are clear: Harry Potter informs our family mythos and I have a lot of fun with homeschool... maybe too much. 😆 4y
saresmoore @tpixie It‘s so much fun! 4y

saresmoore @LeahBergen You know you‘re always welcome! And fortunately our school exists in a parallel world so there‘s no Trump here. 🤪🙃 4y
GingerAntics No Trump there?! I wanted to get sorted before, but now I REALLY want to get sorted...or sweep the floors, or whatever needs sweeping in this parallel world, or be a librarian, or a library book maybe!!! 4y

Shakespeare's Secret | Elise Broach
post image

The new homeschool year is in full swing, as evidenced by the beautiful mess everywhere. We are studying early modern history, animals & evolution, and reading, memorizing, & learning all about Shakespeare. The tagged book is our first read-aloud and it is excellent—sort of a cozy mystery steeped in history and tween angst. There are some neat intergenerational friendships and commentary on social mores. Plus lots of cinnamon toast! 🤤

BarbaraBB It looks so cozy and happy! 😍 4y
Leftcoastzen Wow , super impressive! Hey , I want cinnamon toast! 4y

Well, I‘ve made it to Part Two. I had no idea what to expect, but I‘m glad to report that it‘s intense, hilarious, compulsively readable, and so seriously f*cked up. So.

marleed Gorgeous and enjoy every second as a milk maker. My son was Daddy‘s boy since the day he was born. One day I fed him as his dad came home. He held tight to the breast but twisted his body crying for his dad. It was hilarious- even then. At that moment I was just his food source. ...But there‘s also when they are holding tight to the breast, look up, see you and with all the love in the world, smile big and get a face full of milk! 4y
