The Towles novella is not in Litsy database. It‘s funny and clever, greatly enhanced by its narrator John Lithgow. Roach has her moments too…🤗😅

My positive action today is building a resistance playlist because music always helps. Hit me with your favorites, as many as you got.

Sorry, I know this should not be a political space but please see Oregon senator Ron Wyden‘s post about Medicaid, etc. I was going to get rid of Meta because MZ but maybe I need to keep it as a place to express my anger. I promise to stay away from politics here in the future.

Excerpt
#Walnut #PoetryMatters
@TheSpineView
Monday was hard on so many levels, and I flaked on #MentalHealthMonday .
1. I‘m here—that‘s probably the best thing to say. But, the lack of doomscrolling has made more time for reading and cat cuddles!
2. Self-help books are usually not for me. I get very discouraged with them, and it‘s wonderful they help so many people. While not necessarily self help, and not about mental health, I always recommend “Maybe You Should Talk To Someone” by ⬇️⬇️

TODAY‘S PROMPT: HOPE
Not in the Litsy database. “Nachwasser“ is a new word creation by Frieda Paris, and could be translated as “AfterWater“. It's a long poem and it's deeply impressive. The way Paris uses words, creates new ones and evokes pictures and emotion is unforgettable. At least to me. It took me some time to get used to the style, but it was so worth it. There must be so much time and work put into this poem and it shows.
And then there was today‘s #bookmail - a hard copy of the Hoffer for my personal library project, and the Arendt inspired by (in addition to, well, everything) reading We Are Free to Change the World.
Seriously, I have a problem. And it‘s not enough bookcases.
Got bookmail from J. D. Barker today! If you haven't read him, you are missing a great writer.

Arguments aren‘t fun, but the apologies are best! 😂
I‘ve been reading so much non fiction these days this will do me very good. I miss reading stories!! Just because!!
Although I already started and confused how it‘s going from a narrator to 1st person pov and back to narrator again.

One of my reading buddies needs some extra thoughts, please!
Xander had his yearly cardiology appointment today—for those of you who do not know, Xander was born with a heart defect and will always have a heart murmur.
We got tough news today: two of his heart chambers has more fluid than they should. He‘s not in the danger “zone,” but his condition has been now moved to the stage preceding danger. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
I hate to pick favorites, but I think I‘d have to say this is my #favenewsong!

One of Brian‘s aunts needed computer help. She was sorry we spent our Sunday inside but I got to cuddle and love on Lily. Coffee + doggie love means I have been a very happy camper. ☕️🐶💙

Ooooh all are good but I'm going with 4 👏🏻💜
Thank you @BookmarkTavern for creating this fun play-card 🫂🙏 hope you like the qoute, and that your difficulties are soon in your past 💝.
Fantasy is my main go-to comfort read.
The Spellshop and Winterwood we're absolutely wonderful (slow going on Winterwood but I loved it).
If you enjoy wacky, I always enjoy, The RileyThorn Mysteries.

An easy read and very enjoyable. A few moments of spice and erotica but not overwhelming. It got me out of my reading slump and thinking about what I want from my mundane life. I love the beautiful cover art. There were a lot of places and details that reminded me of my hometown so that made it a very fun read. I would definitely recommend this book! Great first read of 2025!
Book 1/25 for my 2025 goal! ✅️
Anything look good to you?
Hope you can stop by.
