Saturday | Ian McEwan

I slept all day. I didn‘t wake up until 3 PM. It was raining all day and I stayed in my nightgown. I didn‘t change into regular clothes. Tonight, I ate dinner and then I took a shower after dinner. I read more of Assassin‘s Apprentice by Robin Hobb for the #realmofelderlings buddy read. It‘s midnight right now so I‘m going to journal for a little bit and then get back to reading more of Assassin‘s Apprentice.

#Chatterday
Despite the pouring rain, I enjoyed a wonderful #chatterday today. Met a friend for coffee who now resides between CT & FL- our friendship dates back to early preschool days of looking for services for our Autistic sons.💜💜💜 Afterwards I browsed my local Indie bookstore & B & N, treated myself to lunch, then came home to book mail. I did just throw in a wash…

The Book of (More) Delights: Essays | Ross Gay

The first Saturday #Chatterday of the month means the local makers market by my house where I spent a while this morning spending money supporting local artists. (BTW you know you have become a vendor regular when she tells you to pick out 3 more cards, free, for the “Deb Discount” 😆) Maybe I‘ll share my haul, later.

Now I‘m at the coffee shop relaxing from the week & self-soothing with my new magazines & a little Ross Gay balm for the soul. 💛

It‘s a dreary #chatterday following a week when I was out and about most days, and my spouse is working, so I‘m catching up with household stuff. Nothing very exciting. 😆

Happy #Chatterday ☕️

I'm bimbling in the garden, tidying up and sowing seeds in between catching up with #buddyreads

What are your plans for today?

All welcome to join in. 😊

Tagging a few to start us of @thebookhippie @dabbe @Bookwormjillk @Cuilin @Chrissyreadit @Librarybelle

Bookwormjillk What are you planting? Enjoy your day! I‘m heading out for a stream clean up then taking some rest. There‘s a tall ships tour tonight we might go see if it‘s not raining. 3d

Librarybelle Have a great day! I‘m hoping for a lot of rest—Zeke took another bad turn yesterday, after several good days, so hanging with kitties and rest are on my agenda. 3d

ElizaMarie Just having my coffee in bed. Not sure what my day plans are yet. Its a bit rainy out 3d

Cuilin Thankfully I‘m feeling so much better as my husband bought me and my daughters tickets to see Snow Patrol in Boston. He‘s our chauffeur so we have a ride to and from MGM Fenway. I‘ll probably spend most of tomorrow sleeping. Lol 3d

Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle sorry Zeke is having a bad day 3d

Deblovestoread @LibraryBelle Sorry to hear Zeke had a bad day. Hope both of you are able to rest. @Cuilin. Love Snow Patrol so much! Enjoy! Glad you are feeling better, too. (edited) 3d

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk Oh wow, I hope you get to see the tour. I'm starting with sunflowers, nasturtiums and wildflowers. 3d

AllDebooks @Librarybelle Poor Zeke (and you)! Sending much love x 3d

AllDebooks @ElizaMarie Always a good start to a day x 3d

AllDebooks @Cuilin Yay, I'm so glad you're feeling better. Enjoy Snow Patrol 😊 3d

Deblovestoread I‘m getting caffeinated under my heated throw with Pippin in my lap. Once I log off Litsy I‘ll read a bit and then get ready to go to a local Hands Off protest. I‘m a bit nervous as I‘ve always used my voice and protested from the safety of my home but I can‘t ignore this call to action. 3d

Librarybelle Thanks, @Bookwormjillk @Deblovestoread @AllDebooks ! ❤️ 3d

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk as a shanty singer‘s daughter I love a tall ships festival. 3d

Cuilin @Librarybelle sending love for you and Zeke. 3d

Cuilin @ElizaMarie ugh the weather is so blah today in Keene. 3d

Cuilin @Deblovestoread thanks, yesterday I managed to leave the house. It was for bloodwork but still I felt really good. Well done on attending the protest!!!! Stay safe. 3d

Librarybelle Thanks, @Cuilin ! ❤️ 3d

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Sounds like a busy and beautiful day! 🩵💙🩵 3d

dabbe @Librarybelle Oh, no. Poor Zeke. Hope you and your four babies cuddle together all day. 🩵💙🩵 3d

dabbe @ElizaMarie I love when the entire day is open like that. The world is your oyster! 🩵💙🩵 3d

dabbe @Cuilin Yay to you getting out for a fun event with your family! 🤩🤩🤩 3d

dabbe @Deblovestoread You go, girl! I know exactly how you feel. I love to protest through letter-writing or something more quiet. You've inspired me! 👊🏻♥️👊🏻 3d

dabbe Matt is just getting over a cold, so we're probably taking it easy today. I have lots of buddy reads to catch up with, and I just got him the last Gamache book, so he's already diving into that. I introduced them to him, and I'm only on book 6, and he's on the last one! 🤣

Thanks for the tag, @Alldebooks! 😍 I'm glad it's a lovely day for planting where you are! 🩵💙🩵 3d

Librarybelle Thank you, @dabbe ! ❤️ 3d

DebinHawaii I was out supporting local artists & the economy by spending money on their works. 😉 The winds are bringing VOG over from the Big island this week so limiting my outside time & taking extra preventative meds since I‘ll be there overnight Monday/Tuesday & back again on Friday & it‘s close to the volcano so worse than here. Having a relaxing day to recover from the week & gear up for the next one. 3d

DebinHawaii @Librarybelle So sorry Zeke took a bad turn. Hope you can rest & he feels better soon! 💜 3d

Librarybelle Thank you, @DebinHawaii ! ❤️ 3d

ElizaMarie @Deblovestoread Your day sounded so great! Did you end up going to the #HandsOff Protest? My husband and I flaked on the time. WE thought it started around 1 not ended around 1 :( 2d

ElizaMarie @Cuilin It was!!! I ended up cleaning my mudroom. I am determined that Winter is over (I know it's not quite there yet, but soonish), So I started to clean my mittens, scarves, and hats and put a lot of that stuff away. Still gotta keep some winter-sh stuff out. But my mudroom was a dumping ground - so there was a ton to go through. 2d

ElizaMarie @dabbe We got a lot done - organizing-wise. Not what we had planned. We wanted to go to the protest but flaked on the time. We ended up going to lunch, and then finishing our mudroom cleanout. 2d

ElizaMarie @dabbe Awe - I hope Matt feels better soon. 2d

Cuilin @ElizaMarie There‘s nothing like a little spring clean up. Just don‘t look at the weather forecasted for the next 10 days 🙈 and all will be well. 2d

Deblovestoread @ElizaMarie I did go with two friends and it was amazing. Brought me to tears a couple of times. We were lucky to have a gorgeous day. One of the best things I‘ve ever done. 2d

Deblovestoread @ElizaMarie I LOVE a good clean up day especially putting away winter stuff. 2d

TheBookHippie Out protesting yesterday!!! As one does. @Deblovestoread YAAAAAS!!! As a decades -holy shit FOUR DECADES- protestor … welcome to the resistance. 2d

TheBookHippie @Cuilin the snow forecasted 😵‍💫 2d

TheBookHippie @Cuilin omg!!! Snow Patrol!! 2d

ElizaMarie @Cuilin It make me so mad!!! Also, I need to get my studs off my tires, which I think it would be “safe“ to set up an appointment in a week or two. 2d

ElizaMarie @Deblovestoread I am so happy that you ended up going. I wish we were better at the timing, I saw pics of our town and the neighboring towns and it looks beautiful to see all the support out there. (It was rainy and ugly but there was a good turn out) 2d

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle poor Zeke!!! 2d

TheBookHippie @Cuilin I‘m glad you‘re feeling some better! Yay. 2d

Librarybelle Thanks, @TheBookHippie ! ❤️ 2d

Classics Reimagined, Pride and Prejudice | Jane Austen

My #ChatterDay Saturday, back at my usual coffeeshop haunt. Dirty chai latte, Kalua pork breakfast wrap & catching up on opening #SpringCardSwap cards & P&P for #JaneAustenThenAndNow

I haven‘t been good with 2 chapters a day & been mostly reading iin ebook spurts so I decided to pull out a fun illustrated edition for today. Special shout out to my pretty “J. Austen” bookmark that I picked up at a local bookstore last weekend. It matches! 💙

DebinHawaii @CrowCAH What?! How is it not in your collection?! It was published in 2017 by Rockport Publishing) I think I bought it at Barnes & Noble about that time. ISBN is 9781631593710 I‘m seeing some on Thrift Books, Abe & E-bay. 1w

CrowCAH @DebinHawaii yup, it‘s true. I just checked and this version is not in the PnPCovers collection! It‘s amazing how many different cover editions are out there. I know the collection will be kept going with all the new publications! I‘ve had my eyes on the Folio and Eaton Press versions too; they haven‘t been added either. Thanks for the ISBN; I‘ll see if I can get a copy! 1w

Bookwormjillk Happy Saturday! I'm so glad to hear you're feeling well. What a winter for you!

quietlycuriouskate So glad you are feeling better! Mr K and I had a (necessary) fight, which turned into a deep conversation followed by a walk to the library. On balance it's good, but I'm feeling rather out of sorts ‘cause I hate it when my plans are derailed without warning. 1w

dabbe Glad you're feeling good! 🤩 Pippa had a seizure yesterday, so we're staying in today and taking it easy. She usually needs a day off to recuperate, so books and dog cuddles! Hope everyone is having a lovely day. 🩵💙🩵 1w

I‘m not doing very much this weekend. I took a shower tonight, ate dinner, wrote my book review for a book I finished for the #christiescapers buddy read, read the short story this week for the #noplacelikeholmes buddy read and I‘m going to journal tonight before bed, brush my teeth, put my nightgown on and start the next book for the #christiescapers buddy read.

Cut to the Corpse (A Decoupage Mystery, #2) | Lucy Lawrence

My #Chatterday vibe is field trip. Headed to Kailua to visit a local bookstore & my favorite Japanese grocery & favorite natural foods store.

It‘s a 30-40 pretty drive depending on traffic so I can get a chunk of the audiobook of the second in this Decoupage Mystery series for #ThematicCozies March #Hobby I liked the first book so I‘m continuing. Fueled by coffee & a tuna onigiri/musubi

Looking forward to a relaxing Saturday. 😌

DebinHawaii Sorry to hear things are rough right now. Hoping things get better soon. 💜💜💜 It was a week & I‘m in need of an escape so taking a field trip to a little town with my favorite local stores & using the 30-40 minute drive each way for a cozy mystery audiobook. 2w
