Librarybelle Good morning! I am excited to attend a mystery book event today. The rest of the weekend will be catching up on chores I missed doing this week because of taking Zeke to appointments. It‘s sunny right now, and hearing the birds chirping puts a smile on my face. Hope everyone has a good weekend! 1d
ElizaMarie Good Morning - I am enjoying my morning coffee. Catching up on my shows (Law & Order). We got a puppy yesterday (I am gonna post a picture on a book review). We are gonna spend the day with him so we can come up with a name. 1d
ElizaMarie @Librarybelle - A Mystery book even sounds super fun!!! I love that you have sunshine and birds to keep you company this morning! I woke up with the sun (which I love waking up that way rather than the alarm). 1d

TheBookHippie @ElizaMarie awe a puppy!!! 1d
TheBookHippie We are preparing for exams here: my son has all his international baccalaureate exams this week and he is really anxious- so I‘m helping him BREATHE and go over things casually… two years of classes comes down to one paper in each subject- Hisory, English… etc -that you write in 5 parts on one subject in differing ways from ONE QUESTION. Then depending how you do it can count for certain amounts of college credits. It‘s worldwide so I get⬇️ 1d
TheBookHippie His phone and Apple Watch here at home while he is testing. It‘s really strict. So send him some good vibes! 1d
Lesliereadsalot I‘m sure he‘ll do great! But I know how you feel. 🩷 1d
thecheckoutstack After two weeks of pneumonia I‘m finally starting to feel like myself, but I woke up with a bit of a sore throat so feeling a little paranoid. The weather is beautiful here today, hoping to build a fence around my new raised garden beds. 1d
Librarybelle @Cuilin He‘s holding steady. He did not really eat this morning and had some potty issues last night. But, he was active and alert this morning. Thanks for asking! 1d
quietlycuriouskate Usual Saturday domestic and admin. chores here. I prevailed upon my daughter to buzz my hair; now I'm all eyes and cheekbones and look like a cross between Cillian Murphy and a Buddhist nun again. 😂 1d
Cuilin @TheBookHippie just in time for our birthday month 🎂 🎈 wishing your son all the luck!!! 🍀 1d
TheBookHippie @Cuilin YAY BIRTHDAYS!!! 🎈🎈🎈 1d

dabbe @Cuilin WAH🤩🤩! Glad you're feeling better! Don't overdo it, though! 💚💜💚 1d
dabbe @TheBookHippie Oh boy, are those exams stressful! He's lucky to have you as his mamma for you know exactly what to do. I will be keeping my fingers, legs (and whatever else) crossed for him all week! 💚🤞🏻💜 1d
dabbe @thecheckoutstack Glad you're feeling better, but take it easy! Maybe relaxing with a nice drink and book is what you should do today. The garden beds will still be there. 💚💜💚 1d
dabbe @quietlycuriouskate Your cut sounds adorable! I want to see it! 💚💜💚 1d
dabbe As I type this, the girls are whining to go on their walk before it gets too hot. They don't understand that we need our cup of joe before we go. 🤣 Wishing everyone a lovely Saturday. 💜💚💜 1d
ElizaMarie @Cuilin I am so glad to hear your discomfort is subsiding. I am trying to get into the “want“ to spring clean. I start to do well, but my husband is not interested, so it's been a battle to get stuff done -- we did do his dressers today (I did mine a weekish ago). So we got 1 bag of clothing to donate!!! --- What are you organizing today? 1d
ElizaMarie @TheBookHippie Ooo sounds intense! SENDING him all the good vibes I have!!! 1d
ElizaMarie @thecheckoutstack Ooo 2 weeks of pneumonia! I am glad to hear you are out of that! Take it slow and steady! Yay for SUNSHINE! 1d
ElizaMarie @dabbe Enjoy your walk with the girls! Maybe a coffee to go!? 1d
Cuilin @ElizaMarie Everything!!! Both our daughters are in their 20s and they have spent the last 5 to 7 years boomeranging and dropping things off in our basement. It is an utter mess. 1d

So Much Blue: A Novel | Percival Everett

@Soubhiville I hope you are well. I just wanted to let you and the rest of the #AuthorAMonth gang know that the tagged book, So Much Blue, and The Trees, both by May‘s author Percival Everett, are free on Audible. I‘d love to read James but it‘s not free and the hold list is months long. I‘ll get to it when the LIBBY gods smile on me.

Librarybelle Good morning! I‘m spending the day with a friend, which will be fun. Zeke has been off his steroid treatment in preparation for his appointment next week, and he started to show signs of discomfort on Thursday night. The rest of my weekend will be me monitoring him and giving him what medications I can to alleviate his symptoms enough to get him to eat again. Poor guy. Other than a couple incidences the past couple of weeks, he was doing well. 1w
TheSpineView Happy Saturday! Thanks for the tag! 💛🏷 1w
AllDebooks @Librarybelle I hope he does ok over the weekend. Poor boy x 1w

julieclair @AllDebooks My son is really interested in planting a forest garden. But he needs to move out of his apartment first, lol, and find a place with some land. I‘ll take a look at that book - I‘m sure he‘d like to have a copy! 1w
julieclair I‘ll be spending the day catching up on various To Do List items, planning our upcoming trip to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, and hopefully doing some reading. 1w
AllDebooks @julieclair I highly recommend it. It's my bible. He could make his plans while waiting to move. He'll have a clearer idea of what he needs from a property garden. 1w
AllDebooks @julieclair Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃 How lovely x😍 1w
Librarybelle Thanks, @AllDebooks @julieclair ! We should hopefully find out next week the primary cause for his issues, so then I can get the best treatment for Zeke. This is such a long process. Lots of trial and error. 1w
julieclair @AllDebooks Great idea! I‘ll get him a copy. And yes, we‘re very excited about Scotland. Part of our trip will be to visit Maybole, Ayrshire, where my great-grandfather was born! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Hoping to visit Wigtown as well, for some book shopping. 📚 1w
julieclair @Librarybelle Hoping you get some answers at the appointment next week. 💙 1w
Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle hope you get some answers for Zeke! 1w

dabbe Drinking coffee with Matt and the pups right now. Then, a walk with these goofheads, a little housework, and hopefully a late afternoon visit to our local indie bookstore, Changing Hands. Have a wonderful day, everybody! P.S. Thanks for the tag, @Alldebooks and @peaKnit! 😍🤩😍 1w
DebinHawaii For me it‘s coffee, breakfast, the library to pick up a hold & then into town to one of the few indie bookstores we have, then a few other errands & getting prepped for a busy week of travel for work. 1w
DebinHawaii @Librarybelle Hope Zeke does okay this weekend & that you get some answers. 💜 1w

I liked the interwoven stories and the parallels between the Kindertransport children of WWII and the refugee children separated from their parents at the US border in more recent times. It makes me very sad to think of these situations that are still affecting many refugees today.

I was influenced into buying the TikTok bookshelf. I love it! I‘m thankful my husband helped me (read: did it himself) put it together because it was complex. Thinking about getting another….its so nice that it doesn‘t have to go against a wall.

Deblovestoread 😍😍😍 3mo
vlwelser And where does someone purchase this lovely tiktok bookshelf? 3mo
TiredLibrarian Love this! ❤️ 3mo
Ruthiella You provided much needed emotional support during the building process, I am sure! 😂 3mo
LMJenkins @vlwelser - if you are on TikTok, you could probably just search “rotating bookshelf” and find it! (edited) 3mo
