Busy weekend coming up. Confident I‘ll finish Audition soon, it‘s a short one. Sucker Punch has a lot more holds than the notebook so I‘ll most likely dive into that one next!!

pickThis was such a fun book to read. The pages are a big reason (in another post). Short essays about most, if not all, things letter writing. Paper, envelopes, style, “how to write about (subject). Syme‘s goal is to get more people interested in writing letters, an activity she started during the pandemic. 5 🌟

For the next two days (I think, it may just be today and tomorrow), Barnes & Noble members can use PREORDER25 to get 25% off preorders. It‘s not valid on signed copies, though. But Rebecca Solnit, Joyce Vance, Ali Hazelwood (one just announced today as well as the companion to Bride), Frederik Backman, and so many others have new books coming out. I may have indulged a little…a lot…
Today I feel spring around the corner- reached 71 today. I feel exhilaration after attending a protest in Hartford, always coffee, the “ Robert Tree” our Magnolia is starting to bloom, kitties, tonight‘s sunset, Litsy friends, the ocean at Banks Street Beach, Harwich Port,Cape Cod,books!, my first porch day with coffee & a book, sisters, hummingbirds yet to visit my garden. #hope #joy #love #gratitude #resist #nature #moodboardcontest #mbc
so-soOK stories about NYC people. Barkeepers, old people, runaways, and others. Mostly right after 9-11. Best for native New Yorkers probably.

Top row: 3 days on Cape Cod, MA with my 3 sisters! 💕💕💕💕
Bottom row: all today- in the 50s, my first day of the season on my porch. Neighbors out walking, bikers cycling by, birds singing. Coffee & a book! 🚶🏻♀️🚴♂️☕️📘 🪶🐦⬛🎶☀️ A taste of spring…
pickAny collection of writing runs the risk of being uneven, and this is a bit. It starts off with 2 somewhat off-putting essays, but when it gets into the travel stuff, it‘s great, especially the 100+ pages on China. The end is a little bumpy as well, but overall I found this a really worthwhile read.
pickIf I wanted to review this book properly (and follow the author‘s lead), I‘d give each essay a rating out of 5 stars and then calculate the average. My actual method was far less scientific, which is how I roll. I basically just went with my gut.
This was my first John Green book. I say that as a librarian who works in Youth Services, by which I mean I‘m saying it very quietly so as not to be publicly shamed. The good news is that I loved it.👇🏻
bailedI just couldn't get into it and pay attention to the audiobook.
