mcctrish I bought the second and I need to move it up on my TBR list 5d

CSeydel Oh man I haven‘t read the second one yet! 5d

Deblovestoread I just saw this. So excited! 5d

tpixie @mcctrish @CSeydel @Deblovestoread I thought I‘d read Book 2 closer to book 3. I read too many books so I have a harder time remembering them. I think when I was younger, after I read a book I thought about it a lot more, which helped me remember them plus, I didn‘t read as many! 5d

Chelsea.Poole Ooh thanks for the post! I read book two but I didn‘t love it as much as the first one. I‘ll probably stick with it and see what happens in the third. 5d

tpixie @Chelsea.Poole hopefully the third will be a satisfying read! 5d

CSeydel Oh yeah that makes sense 5d

GatheringBooks Ooh! Thank you so much for sharing and for the tag! I already have book 2, and will now pre-order book 3. 5d

CBee @tpixie oooo book 3!! I need to get to #2 soon. 5d

BarbaraBB I had no idea there would be a third book! I still need to read the second one and fortunately it‘s my April #Roll100 book! 5d

squirrelbrain Like most others, I haven‘t read book 2 yet. #toomanybookstoolittletime 5d

tpixie @CSeydel @GatheringBooks @CBee 💙🩵💙 5d

tpixie @BarbaraBB that works out nicely! 💙🩵💙 5d

tpixie @squirrelbrain me either. If I do I‘ll read it right before the 3rd. Otherwise, it may just heighten my Mount TBR!! ⛰️ 5d

Lesliereadsalot Can‘t wait! I love these characters. 5d

tpixie @Lesliereadsalot yes! It kind of reminds me of this author that also writes about a community

Hannah Coulter: A Novel

Lesliereadsalot Will definitely look into her books! 5d

tpixie @Lesliereadsalot 🩵 4d

CSeydel Checked it out today from Libby 📖📲 4d

tpixie @CSeydel 🩵💙🩵 yay! 4d

Thank You @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday & for the tag 💖🌺💝.

1- Fruit 😋💝.

2- the magic of stumbling across something you have been looking for after having given up the search 🪄💖.

3- The 6th book in the Old Kingdom series has been added to my library 🪄📚💝 still super excited about this 😂📚💝.
#theoldkingdomreviewedbyanncrystal.

4- meeting a stranger in a parking lot who claimed to be psychic and who read me too well 🪄🤩🆒.

👇

AnnCrystal 5- had to go to Walmart for necessities that we haven't yet sourced elsewhere (I know 👀🥺🤐). Checked the entertainment dept. while there (Of course). There wasn't anything two-spirited, but there were woman/culture writers, fantasy, Spanish language books, etc. I know that Walmart is rolling back DEI, yet they haven't seemed to make it about their products, at least not yet. Perhaps they're reconsidering🥳🤞🏼.

AnnCrystal *anything two-spirited (LGBTQTS+) that I noted...there may have been, and it escaped my notice.

Sace Fruit is awesome! I have discovered that the best way to find something is to stop looking for it (or buy a replacement 🙄) 1w

TheBookHippie We use Walmart it‘s the least of the evils here. Plus I use delivery and it‘s the jobs of the immigrants here. 🤷🏻‍♀️ not perfect, but local is hugely expensive and owned by right wing extremist. 1w

AnnCrystal @AmyG truly indeed 👏🏼😉👍🏼🪄💖. 7d

AnnCrystal @Sace I absolutely love fruit 😋👍🏼. And that does seem like the best way to find something 🧐🪄🤩...I really do hate replacing something I already have. 7d

AnnCrystal @TheBookHippie I read that, “Walmart aims to power 50% of its operations with renewable energy by 2025 and 100% by 2035, while also aiming to reach zero emissions from all its vehicles and transportation network, including long-haul trucks, by 2040.“

We are trying our best to support mom and pop shops even more now, unfortunately, we've experienced some impossibly rude customer service from some. Thursday, we left a shop quite upset. 👇 7d

AnnCrystal I wondered, does this guy want to sell his merchandise, or is he trying to run an exhibit for show only. Perhaps he assumed we didn't have the funds?? What he did have prices on were extremely expensive... (edited) 7d

Bookwormjillk Fruit is the best! 7d

Texreader Your No 4: that‘s amazing! What fun! 7d

AmyG @TheBookHippie Same here….we just have Walmart and Costco. I try to buy atCostco as much as we can…but we still need Walmart. 7d

AnnCrystal @Bookwormjillk absolutely 😋👍🏼💝. 7d

AnnCrystal @Texreader it was strangely spectacular, 🤩🪄💖. 7d

TheBookHippie @AmyG Costco is 60 minutes away one way here 😵‍💫 I do order online some things from there. 7d

January 2025 Book #2
Dimpsie invited some friends from the theater to spend Christmas with him in his castle located in a private island near to Edinburgh. Dimpsie was found dead near to the tree which appear to be an accidental death…Dun Dun Dunnnand the drama begins….
Quite predictable 😏 with some funny scenes but predictable. I enjoyed it as a holiday read. It should be a so-so but I usually enjoy these crime classic stories🤷🏽‍♀️3⭐️

1) I can‘t pick a favorite but I love when my crocuses bloom as my first sign Spring is really on its way. Then my daffodils bobbing in the breeze.
2) Tagged book is always the first to come to mind and now that it has I want to reread it.

Want to play @dabbe @MemoirsForMe @TheLudicReader ?

Herland: Easyread Comfort Edition | Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Herland keeps showing up on feminist book lists I'm trying to read through. Noticed it's book #2 in a trilogy. But book #1 is rarely mentioned. Do I need to read the first to understand what is happening in Herland?

ChaoticMissAdventures I keep seeing it too and never realized it was a series! 3w

MaggieCarr @ChaoticMissAdventures maybe someone can help us! 3w

Lauranahe I didn‘t realize that either! 3w

Bookwomble You can read it standalone. Its feminist credentials are era specific, so expect some 😬 moments along with the ❤️ 3w

MaggieCarr @Bookwomble yes, gritting my teeth! 3w

The Merchant of Venice | Shakespeare William

#weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords @CBee

Allusion #2: POUND OF FLESH

I still can't believe that THE MERCHANT OF VENICE is on our district's 7th grade reading list alongside A MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT'S DREAM. If you had your choice, which play would you rather read as a 12-13-year old?

TheSpineView Merchant of Venice... maybe. Not sure at that age I could have appreciated either. 3w

dabbe @TheSpineView It was a really hard sell to the kids. I only taught it one year. They loved MIDSUMMER. 3w

TheBookHippie Midsummer I imagine. As I‘m a nerd I loved all Shakespeare from age 12 on. 3w

dabbe @TheBookHippie You are NOT a nerd; you're THE Book Hippiest! 🤩 3w

TheSpineView @dabbe Surprising that they liked anything Shakespeare. Just goes to show... you can never underestimate kids. 3w

dabbe @TheSpineView 🎯🎯🎯! 3w

CBee I loved Midsummer. But, I didn‘t read it at 12 or 13! I was older. A favorite of mine for sure! 3w

CBee @TheBookHippie nerds are awesome. I know this because I, too, am a nerd. AND PROUD 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂😂😂 3w

dabbe @CBee @TheBookHippie #weirdwordsfornerds #nerdpower 🤓🤩🤣 3w

dabbe @CBee I can say unequivocally that MERCHANT OF VENICE is not one of my favorite Shakespearean plays. 🤣🤓🤩 3w

CBee @dabbe I‘m totally stealing #weirdwordsfornerds 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻 3w

dabbe @CBee It's yours! You inspired it! 🩵💙🩵 3w

CBee @dabbe ♥️♥️🥹🥹 3w

lil1inblue Most 12-13 year olds I know (and knew) would prefer Midsummer. I personally think that the themes in Merchant would be better understood in high school (I personally didn't read it until college). Although there's several other Shakespeare plays that I would put on the 7th grade list with Midsummer (mostly comedies). 3w
