I tried so hard, I just finished a European history class and so was feeling ready for a futuristic retelling of the French Revolution featuring Marie Antoinette, but I could not get past the slang. The world is built around social media and honestly in that regard isn‘t too different from ours, but our slang is not based around technology. “He‘s giga mad” and “she‘s just phished right now”are dumb slang words and I just couldn‘t anymore. ⬇️

Zoe-h ⬆️ Also, in a thousand years, that‘s where we‘re at with social media? The exact same place? I think it would have worked better in an AU instead of the future. I did like the emphasis on neon, but this is after a global catastrophe (undescribed) that wiped out half the world and we‘re still using that and absinthe? Really? 7mo

Not a lot of reading this week but since I‘m resolved to not be a Litsy stranger again … BEHOLD my triumph over a skirting board! 🤣 This wretched thing was glued, nailed, painted and carpeted in. It took two days, a plant lever, half my tool box and the invention of a number of new expletives to get it loose but now the cabinet that‘s going there will fit flush to the wall (after I deal with the TV antenna) 🥳🥳🥳🥳

dabbe 🤩🤩🤩 9mo
CarolynM Congratulations, that‘s a major achievement 🎉 Always glad to see you here😘 9mo
GlassAsDiamonds @CarolynM honestly - a pox on every social media renovator who just pops these things off like a jar lid. LIES I TELL YOU, *LIES*… 9mo

For young readers this series I'm finding out is a solid way to entertain and introduce history to Juv readers without overwhelming them details they may not fully understand. It's a fun way to educate and hook a young reader into enjoying nonfiction reads

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!
