#Bookspin (own books) and #Doublespin (library books) for February. Hopeful I might actually finish both of my January books before next Sunday. That‘d be a first!!
Cuddy is incredible.
Wild Treasures is joyous.
So you picked a good couple of books for me there Sarah @TheAromaofBooks !
I applied to be a volunteer selector for a local book award! 🤩 Hopefully I'll be able to read these all before the deadline in a few months. My reading pace is not fast.

I was off on Monday (MLK Jr Day) and enjoyed a lovely day of reading 🥰
I cooked dinner every night this week 🙌
I cleaned my house and it looks great 🧼
I was able to WFH every day this week 💻
I have a clear conscience because I didn‘t vote for “he who shall not be named” and that JOY in itself feels AMAZING 🥳 I hope we make it through these next 4 years (1,458 days), these last 5 days sucked more than I prepared for.
Could you ask for a better surprise on this chilly day? 😀

@dabbe You're really testing my memory with these! 🤣 I hope Mr. Locascio, who was my AP Humanities teacher, wouldn't be too disappointed in my score.
3 that stuck with me:
🩵 Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood
🩵 Dreaming in Cuban by Cristina Garcia
🩵 Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams (Technically I've never read this, but I've seen the play several times. And the movie because Paul Newman)

Thanks for the tag, @DebinHawaii !
1. My boys…always. Pictured is Xander lounging in the cat hammock yesterday. ❤️
2. Snow! It was a small amount compared to winters when I was a kid, but enough to have me outside shoveling on Monday.
3. Litsy
4. I attended a webinar from the Nat‘l Museum of the United States Army that discussed Jewish American soldiers who helped liberate concentration & labor camps in WWII. Very moving.
5. Books!

These are her footprints in the snow…where did she go? To the woods, and the Dewey box of course!
If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember that this whole thing was started with a dream and a mouse.
-Walt Disney
All of us readers are dreaming something. My dream is to have a big library and to be the mother of a dragon who will be the guardian of the library.
What about your dream bookworms?🐲

This was a frustrating list! Between my HS teaching and curriculum review project work, I feel like I should have read more of these. Instead, I found that I had read many of these authors, but not these specific books listed.

Not as awesome as it might have been had I made more progress on my TBR, but my English degree plus homeschooling plus the Classics Club challenge helped. That and my love of Margaret Atwood and Toni Morrison.
Faves:
1. All the Light We Cannot See
2. Brave New World
3. Beloved
Canada Reads 2025 shortlist. Finally. I guess I‘m shopping again. lol
