kspenmoll Happy Saturday everyone! I just have a few errands, then I plan to read with kitties on my lap & later in the day make beef stew per Julia Child. I had planed this earlier in the week when the weather was cooler but now it‘s supposed to be in the 60s today. So the unpredictable crazy weather we have been experiencing since September continues… (edited) 10h

Dilara Happy Saturday! I enjoyed some “me time“. I went to the market for artisan tofu, then to the library. I had a middling bowl of ramen soup for lunch & bought a small chocolate gâteau as an afternoon tea treat. Also, there was some kind of 2nd-hand clothes sales in the streets, so I got a few things for me and daughter. After which I had a Viennese chocolate at a bookshop/café, where I also bought 2 books for me & 1 for the grandkid. I overspent 😞 8h

Dilara @kspenmoll I checked the Fahrenheit>Celsius conversion: 60°F is what we're supposed to have this afternoon where I live too, but it was quite wintery when I went out this morning (under 10°C/50°F: a few degrees less than usual at this time of year in Western France). Enjoy your stew, whatever the temperature! 😀 8h

What are your plans for today? I'm off to 4 years old birthday party at Tiny Town. Fun!!! 😀
Wishing you all a fab weekend. 🌞

Dilara Happy birthday to the 4-year old! We celebrated the grandkid's 4th birthday last week: they grow so fast.
My plans for the day are 1) go for a walk and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts; 2) go to the cinema for a special viewing of Gloria!, a film about the Venetian female musicians who interpreted Vivaldi's music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T0zvQOEDkw It may be cliché and rubbish or it may be great, but I am willing to risk €4 to find out😄 1w

Librarybelle Good morning! I‘m attending an author event today, but the rest of the weekend is catching up on chores, rest, and hopefully reading. I have had no time to read for long stretches of time in quite some time, and I miss it! 1w

peaKnit I am attending a history hike with a friend which has expanded to add checking out a winery and bookstore. 1w

peaKnit @Bookworm04 your day sounds lovely!! 1w

Bookworm04 @peaKnit aww thanks I managed to read 80 pages today which is rare. Might open some 🍷 and chill reading Book store and winery 👌 1w

Bookworm04 @Librarybelle I never get to read this long usually I glad talking to others while read. No one I know reads anymore which why glad have litsy I didn't use it much but going to use more now I talking to people :) 1w

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Greetings, Littens! I was exhausted, so I went to bed early last night & slept in today. My body needed the rest. It's gloomy here in NJ but a rainy nor'easter is in the weather report for the next two days so we'll likely run errands this afternoon so we can watch horror movies & clean while stuck inside. Fingers crossed, I'll get some reading in and a little time to do book nerd stuff. 🤓 1w

Hi, 👋
My apologies for my absence over the last few weeks. How are you all?

Librarybelle Life has been hectic; no apologies necessary! I think I can relax most of this weekend. I‘ve barely had much downtime the last few weeks, and I have a few things on the horizon that will make it even less the rest of the year. But, it helps pay Zeke‘s medical bills (he‘s doing very well) and distracts from the world at large. I‘ll snatch reading time when I can! Hope all is well with everyone. 1mo

Cuilin No apology necessary, life can be that way. Hoping to relax, read and get a little outside time this weekend. Health has been up and down. Med changes, more testing. I‘m boring myself talking about it. 😴 1mo

Cuilin @Librarybelle Glad to hear Zeke‘s doing well. 1mo

AllDebooks @Cuilin oh no. Chronic illness is the worst. I hope you're okay and enjoy a bit of time in the sunshine. X 1mo

quietlycuriouskate Hello! I had hoped to be one month closer to menopause but, alas, this morning I've had to reset the timer to zero again. 😒 On the plus side, I went out and bought my spring-flowering bulbs. Just thinking of all the colour and joy they secretly contain is making me feel better. 1mo

TheBookHippie @quietlycuriouskate UGHHHHH my sympathies… yuk. 1mo

TheBookHippie @Cuilin Ha. Same. Hoping it ends up good for you. 1mo

TheBookHippie Migraine Clinic Monday. One of my meds side affects are too much so I‘m weaning off it… which will be 😵‍💫 it helped my essential tremor, anxiety, hot flashes and vertigo…. So yah. That‘s me. Otherwise trying to get by in this dumpster fire world and find joy. My sunflowers are starting to open up to show their flower and I am beyond excited. (edited) 1mo

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle glad he‘s well and you have the funds!!!! Sometimes busy helps!! ♥️ 1mo

Librarybelle Thanks, @Cuilin @AllDebooks @TheBookHippie ! I hope everyone feels better and has an opportunity to relax this weekend. ❤️ 1mo

dabbe @Librarybelle Yay for Zeke! Glad you're having a relaxing weekend and hope you can snag lots of reading time. 💜🧡💛 1mo

dabbe @Cuilin I never thought I'd have to say this, but isn't it nice when you have one day when you feel good for the ENTIRE time? I hope many more of those for you. Crossing everything I can for good testing results. 💜🧡💛 1mo

dabbe @quietlycuriouskate That beyond sucks. Glad you have the perfect way to handle that news. Have a relaxing day with your planting, and I'll be wishing for menopause to come soon! Such a hump to get over. 💜🧡💛 1mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie AUGH! Sending 💜🧡💛, my friend, and crossing my everything that you get these issues solved. Glad you have your zen garden and can't wait to see more pictures of it; it's zen for all of us. 1mo

dabbe No worries! Life has a way of getting in the way sometimes. 💜🧡💛 Finally got rid of all my sutures on my shoulder and had my first PT yesterday, which went amazingly well. Had to take pain meds later, but still! Looking forward to a walk with Matt & the pups, and a quiet day of reading and college footballs. Such a combo, right? Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. 💜🧡💛 1mo

Librarybelle Thanks, @dabbe and glad to hear PT went well! 1mo

dabbe @Librarybelle TY! 💛💜🧡 1mo

So Much Blue: A Novel | Percival Everett

pick

My 7th Percival Everett book. I inhaled it almost as fast as the cranberry orange scone. Every one of his books is so different—I‘m in awe of his creativity and range. This one is a story in three parts that eventually converge by the end. Loved it.

Ruthiella This was my first Everett-my gateway drug! 😅 1mo

Tamra He is so amazingly talented & versatile! 1mo

AnnCrystal The cranberry orange scone 😋👍🏼💝. 1mo

BarbaraBB I loved this one too. It was my first Everett (edited) 1mo

Suet624 Oh boy. This guy is so prolific and so brilliant. 1mo

Bookwormjillk Hello! I am waiting in my car for my son to get out of the SATs (testing for college) hoping he doesn‘t get out too soon because I want to catch up on my reading. After that it‘s a beautiful day and I want to be outside as much as possible. 2mo

ElizaMarie Husband and I are seeing KPop Demon Hunters sing-a-long. It so cute to see all the kiddos dressed up! But also- we don‘t have kids and hey - it‘s okay and doesn‘t matter! It‘s a great movie with great soundtrack 2mo

ElizaMarie @Bookwormjillk ooo hope y‘all go for a treat after! Maybe a place you can continue to read :) 2mo

kspenmoll @Bookwormjillk I hope your son was not too fatigued after testing - and that you got a couple if reading hours in! 2mo

kspenmoll @ElizaMarie Sounds like a fun movie! 2mo

kspenmoll My family went to Mystic Ct by the shore & indulged in lobster roll( me) & fat belly fried clams( hubby & son)- a last hurrah as I return to work Monday. Beautiful sunny day, if we hit 80 degrees the sea breezes made it seem cooler. I am stuffed & happy! 2mo

kspenmoll Can you tell me the author of #Naturalitsy sept book? I found 2 books with same title, Around the world in 80 trees 2mo

Bookwormjillk @kspenmoll @elizamarie he didn‘t think he did very well but was maybe just hungry because he came home and ate a huge lunch and was much happier. Hope you both enjoyed your days. 2mo

AllDebooks @kspenmoll it's this one. x

Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here: The United States, Central America, and the Making of a Crisis | Jonathan Blitzer

pick

3-5 Aug 25 (audiobook)
A comprehensive look at the policies and actions that have led to the current immigration crisis in the US. This is undoubtedly well-written and thoroughly researched, but it did lose me at times.
Still, many of the stories shocked me - how can a government deport teenagers to countries they left as babies? And the stories of children being separated from their parents at the border is absolutely heartbreaking.

charl08 Sadly, the deportation of young adults back to "their" country has happened here (the UK) too. 2mo

Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here: The United States, Central America, and the Making of a Crisis | Jonathan Blitzer

pick

This fantastic book closely follows the stories of hardship and determined effort to escape intolerable life threatening situations by four Central American immigrants and their families as well as the political ecosystems in all affected countries which push and pull immigration policy in one direction or another. It‘s an absolute must read for anyone who wants to grasp the how and especially the why of the ongoing crises in Central America.
