I took this yesterday after a rain during supper time. Not very often to see a full circle rainbow. From my window. #BeautyBreak

WHEEL OF FORTUNE | Thane Gustafson

My #BookSpin is 'something by Edith Wharton" Should I go with House of Mirth or Age of Innocence? The #DoubleSpin is the first in a series I've heard great things about.
Thanks @TheAromaofBooks!

Ruthiella How terribly do you want to be depressed? 😂 I found The House of Mirth to be very sad whereas I found The Age of Innocence to be more bittersweet. 1mo

Amiable I recently downloaded this one —could be a nice option to dip in and out of Wharton this month:

The New York Stories of Edith Wharton

1mo

bookandbedandtea @Ruthiella you made me giggle, which I very much appreciated today! I might be rethinking my choice, though, as I'm not eager to be depressed by my reading. 🤔 1mo

bookandbedandtea @Amiable Your suggestion sounds like a good solution! I'm considering getting that collection, but I also found this one, tagged, which I'm finding tempting as it is October. 👻

The Ghost Stories of Edith Wharton

1mo

Ruthiella I think the Edith Wharton ghost story collection sounds like a good seasonal choice! 👻👍 1mo

bookandbedandtea @Ruthiella I think it's the winner! 1mo

CarolynM I‘ve just finished Slow Horses. I enjoyed it, hope you do too. 4w

bookandbedandtea @CarolynM I hope so too. I keep hearing really good things about it. 😊 4w

bookandbedandtea @CarolynM I just read Slow Horses and it was fantastic! I've already requested the next book from the library. I refuse to get another streaming service but I kinda wish I had apple TV so I could watch it. 5d

The Meritocracy Trap: How America's Foundational Myth Feeds Inequality, Dismantles the Middle Class, and Devours the Elite | Daniel Markovits

so-so

David Markovits is Guido Calabresi Professor of Law at Yale University and director of the Yale Center for the Study of Private Law. This interesting but infuriating book convincingly argues that the USA‘s middle classes are locked out of opportunities to advance to the professions and elite education and the elite are forming a self-perpetuating clique but relies on such a narrow view of meritocracy that I was unconvinced by the propose solutions

Value(s): Building a Better World For All | Mark Carney

One caveat about this quote; I don‘t love the phrase “the best country in the world.” I love my country, it‘s my favourite, it‘s the best one for me, but I don‘t think that makes it just plain “the best.”

mcctrish I struggle with this too 1mo
