kspenmoll I am up early for a weekend- 5:30- this is a lovely spot to say Happy Saturday all! My day is meeting an old friend for coffee, errands, laundry(porch pillows, slowly putting porch items away), a walk,then hoping for a night of reading. Right now I am enjoying my first cup of coffee, oatmeal with milk & maple syrup, with Emmy curled up on my lap. 📘☕️🥣🐾 I wish everyone a wonderful day. (edited) 4w
kspenmoll @Sace I get it! Sipping mine now!☕️ 4w

Sace @kspenmoll Sounds like you have a busy day ahead. I only have the grocery store and lunch with my husband in the to do list. Dewey‘s 24 hour readathon starts at 7 my time so I‘m hoping to get a long stretch of reading in. I won‘t make 24 hours but I‘ll get *some* reading in. 4w
Librarybelle Happy Saturday! I‘m getting over a cold, so moving a little slow this weekend. I have my usual cleaning routine plus a few other things to take care of that cropped up. But, like @Sace , I hope to do some reading for the Dewey readathon today. 4w
AllDebooks @Sace ☕️👌Soynds like you have a blissful day planned. Enjoy your lunch x 4w
AllDebooks @kspenmoll putting away the outdoor furniture is the only thing I don't like about autumn. It's far too damp here to leave it. We have mist or fog most mornings. Enjoy your reading. x 4w
AllDebooks @Librarybelle plenty of rest and readibg shoukd set you right. Feel better x 4w
Librarybelle Thanks, @AllDebooks ! ❤️ 4w
AllDebooks I'm actually feeling very sorry for myself. Just spent 3 months getting better and starting to feel more like myself. I've now got shingles! MOTHERTRUCKER!!!🤬 I would be grateful for any distraction from the pain as it's a bloomin big ouchy. Any recs? 4w
AllDebooks On the plus side, I've had plenty of reading time. Just need to catch up on my scores now for #HauntedShelf 4w
AllDebooks Atm, I'm really enjoying my #letterZ choice for #AtoZReadathon 4w
Daisey It‘s a beautiful fall weekend here, and I‘m so happy to be home for the day. I‘m enjoying coffee and breakfast casserole with my Litsy scrolling. 4w
Sace @AllDebooks oh dear lord that sounds awful. I have no words of wisdom or advice but plenty of sympathy. 4w
Sace @Daisey that sounds lovely. 4w
Sace @AllDebooks thanks! We have a favorite Thai restaurant that we go to every Saturday. 4w
Cuilin @AllDebooks oh sorry Deb that‘s awful. Ugh I have been listening to BBC‘s radio plays Rumpole. They‘re such a good balance of light and fun with a little sprinkling of mystery. I‘ve been listening to them last thing at night, delightful. I‘m almost done and I will definitely miss them. I found them on Audible but they‘re probably on BBC player or something. Oh, and some of them are played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Hope you feel better soon. X 4w
AllDebooks @Cuilin thanks, that sounds perfect. I'll check it out. x 4w
dabbe So sorry to read about your shingles, @AllDebooks. I hope your reading is providing plenty of distraction. 🖤🧡🖤 Today in Phoenix, it will be 96º F (36º C), so we're STILL staying inside and relaxing after our relaxing week up in pine country. Hoping for a power day tomorrow, though. Hope everyone has a lovely day--whatever you're doing! 🤩 4w
julieclair Ugh… shingles! I have heard they are just miserable. Sure do hope you get over them quickly. My only recommendation would be audiobooks. I find I get less distracted with them than I do with regular books. 💙💙💙 3w

The great February book haul: I‘m always on the lookout for books for #litsyatoz. And these are literally #letter A to #letterZ

Balibee146 Zuleikha is part of my dog's pedigree name.... I sometimes call her by it if she's being naughty and she gives me The Look when she hears it 🤣 9mo
Texreader @Balibee146 Such an unusual name! I wouldn‘t have guessed it. How cute!! 9mo

Pickpick

Reading an 11-year-old‘s diary when she‘s a happy child and then suffering the fates of the Bosnian War is tragic and sad. Pages of the diary were published during the war in 1991-93 when she lived in Sarajevo, and she knew she was being compared to Anne Frank. Her writing is exemplary for her age but she never understood why there was a war and why peace wasn‘t coming. She was both hopeful and sometimes suicidal as friends were killed and ⬇️

Texreader families, friends, and neighbors were displaced. From the introduction we learn her family eventually escapes to Paris and from Wikipedia we learn she went to Oxford and now champions the cause of children suffering through war. Of course an inspiration. Reading about war from a child‘s perspective is eye-opening to say the least. I am glad she left us this legacy. #letterZ #litsyatoz 9mo
Librarybelle I read this when it first came out - she is roughly my age, so it was very moving to read about a war in my lifetime by someone my age living through it. 9mo
Texreader @Librarybelle What an experience for a preteen to have read this book while the war was going on. I can tell you I don‘t think I even knew about the war in the 1990s. I was a newlywed and working two jobs. Life was difficult then so the news took the back burner. 9mo
Librarybelle @Texreader Would you believe I think I picked this up at a Scholastic Book Fair? I will say I don‘t have too many clear memories about that war, other than it was on the nightly news that my parents watched. But, her experience living in an active war zone was so striking and helped connect the odd snatches of info I‘d hear on the TV. 9mo

This once middle class family moved a wood stove found in the attic into the kitchen because electricity is out more often than it is on. And this is how they are spending the winter. #letterZ #litsyatoz

Mimmy is the name of Zlata‘s diary. Cici is her cat. So good that the cat can give an 11-year-old girl peace during war.
