Thought I knew much about New England‘s Puritan heritage. Apparently not!!!! “...the humble would doff their hats to privilege-just like at home.”

Reading a bit before I quiz my son for his midterms on Economics & Nuclear Security. Timely courses! He likes to be orally quizzed on certain aspects, then writes out the rest. He has always learned best thru discussion. His breadth of knowledge always amazes me- he is making economics understandable for me. #luckymom

Opened this book about Abigail Adams and her sisters‘ correspondence, visits, & revolutionary ideas to this family tree. Did not realize she was born in Weymouth, MA, a town south of Boston where I worked for 3 years.Love those connections we make with books. 😀❤️📚

Spent quite some time meandering around my town library today. Love doing that! There is a stairway/path down into this reading area - there are more benches scattered about. Lovely reading spot. Excited to read Dear Abigail, ”The Intimate Lives and Revolutionary Ideas of Abigail Adams and her Two Sisters”. Nagging guilt: Still working on McCullough‘s John Adams. 📚❤️
Thanks to @Librarybelle for alerting me to the recent Book Outlet scratch and dent sale. I couldn‘t help myself. 🤦🏼♀️ I got all of these for $32 so how could I not? Some of them were in poorer condition, but overall it was worth it! And now I‘m def on a book buying ban.
I may be doing well with my #tbrbingo card, but I'm not doing well with a book buying ban. I picked these up at the dollar store, and I could have bought SO many more. #dollarstore #bookbuying #nobookbuyingban #iregretnothing
