Schoolhouse Rock!: The Official Guide | Tom Yohe, George Newall

I have had this on loop all day. 250 years later, and we're still fighting this. Thanks to all who went out there today to fight the good fight. I got blindsided with a hellacious cold and didn't want to spread my germs, but I've been there in spirit. #resist 💙✊🏻♥️

If you've never seen Schoolhouse Rock, especially this one, it's worth 3 minutes of your time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvOZs3g3qIo

ChaoticMissAdventures I live in Portland Oregon so we are pretty learned in the protest ways. I was Bail Friend today. Meaning I hang out, all my friends have my number written on their arm and if they get arrested or sent to hospital I am in charge of organizing their release. We rotate Bail Friend duties. It has been a quiet day and all my people are done for the day so that feels good. 4mo

Leftcoastzen There is a terrible cold going around. My letter carrier had it . He kept thinking he had COVID, but tested negative 3 times. His lasted nearly a week 4mo

Deblovestoread Feel better! We had good weather, larger crowd, lots of honking and some fantastic clever signs. 💙✊🏼💙 4mo

dabbe @Ruthiella ✊🏻💙✊🏻 4mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie How the hell do you get a cold when it's 100+ degrees outside? 🤔🤣 4mo

dabbe @Aims42 TY! When will we learn? 😳 4mo

dabbe @Graciouswarriorprincess Yay you! I hope all went well and that everyone is safe. ✊🏻💙✊🏻 4mo

dabbe @Leftcoastzen #ruhroh You know, I didn't even think of testing to see if it's Covid. I wonder if my kits have expired. 🤔 4mo

dabbe @Deblovestoread TY! You people in Oregon ROCK! ✊🏻💙✊🏻 4mo

Graciouswarriorlibrarian @dabbe Yes. We stayed safe and it was peaceful protesting. 4mo

Ruthiella @Deblovestoread The signs are the best. Such great reading this afternoon. One of my favorites was History: “Don‘t make me repeat myself”. 4mo

One day late due to Litsy posting problems yesterday. 😭
1. Seeing an albino peacock at our local nursery. 🦚
2. Planting our new rose bush. 🥀
3. Pip the Destructor. She was bored and wanted her bag of treats. 🤣🐾🤣
4. Made plan reservations to annoy @TheLudicReader with my presence this summer! ♥️🇨🇦🤍
5. My loves. Where would I be without them. 💙🩵💙

Bookwormjillk She was never so happy as when the doctor said no more visits. 8mo

See All 17 Comments

mcctrish Did I miss a chapter ? I thought today was #16 I just read about the dr saying no more visitors and learning about who the ‘friend‘ is, not a friend, just a fan #goodgrief 8mo

mcctrish I‘m not a fan of the dr 8mo

CogsOfEncouragement I thought handing Esther the newspaper articles was messed up, but I also thought it was an interesting way to tell us what happened when we have been relying on Esther to give us the scoop. 8mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish ugh did I misnumber?!? 8mo

dabbe I totally see the doctor differently. Esther's mom views everything Esther does as a rebuke against her, which makes Esther feel alienated from the one woman who should serve as her guide into adulthood. When Doctor Nolan realizes that seeing her mother and others only harms Esther and ends the visits, to me she becomes a mother figure to Esther—one who is warmer and more accepting of Esther's conflicts than Esther's real mother. ⬇️ 8mo

dabbe Though this may seem cruel to Mrs. Greenwood, it seems to be a necessary step toward Esther's recovery and is evidenced by how relieved Esther is by the doctor's choice. Somebody finally noticed what she needed and willingly gave it to Esther. 8mo

mcctrish @dabbe oh I totally think the mom should be banned, Esther doesn‘t need to explain to her why she feels the way she does ( as if she could) I‘m mad at the dr for springing the electric shocks on Esther - I don‘t feel they are on the same page with how “I will let you know if and when we go that route” plays out 8mo

dabbe @mcctrish Is Esther in for more electric shock treatment? I've only read to Ch. 16, so my thoughts were based on that. I guess my views will change with Ch. 17. #ruhroh 8mo

mcctrish @dabbe I‘m mixed up with the chapters 🤦🏻‍♀️ 8mo

dabbe @mcctrish Easy to do; they flow quickly in this one. 🤗 I might even finish tonight. 🤞🏻 8mo

Bookwormjillk Ok yeah now I don‘t like that doctor anymore. 8mo

ElizaMarie So, #InTheDoctorsDefense I get why she didn't tell her the night before. I think Esther should have a say in if/when she gets shock treatment, but.. in this world/time/hospital she doesn't, so telling her and letting her freak out about it all night could have caused her to hurt herself, whereas springing it on her, is a bit more kind (in a - kind even though we are subjecting you to a treatment you don't consent to kind of way) 8mo

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie good point! This is one of those situations where you can‘t really win! 8mo

Clare-Dragonfly @ElizaMarie That‘s fair, but I‘m still pretty mad at the doctor, because as I see it she broke her promise. She told Esther, but not until Esther had figured it out herself. She should have given her a few days of warning. 8mo

Pirates | Matthew Craig

#BookedInTime @Cuilin

In February we head out into the wild seas and against all rational advice we search for pirates. 🏴‍☠️
Q1. How is the Tudor times going?
I read Dissolution and loved it. Cromwell made an appearance.
Q2. Do you have a book in mind yet for Pirates?
I‘m bringing a list to the library, Libby.

Answers in the comments. As always, everyone is welcome.

Pirate Women: The Princesses, Prostitutes, and Privateers Who Ruled the Seven Seas

9mo

BarkingMadRead I still have to start my Tudor book! I will check and see what my pirate pic is! 9mo

Karisimo This might be a bit of a stretch for the category, but it‘s one I really enjoyed about a female pirate with some magical elements

The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi

9mo

Karisimo Sounds interesting!!

Why We Love Pirates: The Hunt for Captain Kidd and How He Changed Piracy Forever

9mo

Cuilin @Karisimo oh I never got to finish Amina as I had to return it to the library. I liked what I got to read. 👍 9mo

Cuilin @AllDebooks sounds good. There are two Irish female pirates that I‘m interested in learning more about. (Anne Bonny and Gráinne Maol) I wonder if they show up in your book. 9mo

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead lots of time. 9mo

Bookwormjillk Pirates are fun! I‘ll have to do some research! I have a bunch of library books due then on to the Tudors! Thanks to a longer than usual winter break and then a snow storm I‘m back on the struggle bus this month! 9mo

ChaoticMissAdventures I am going a bit rogue (fitting for pirates month!) and reading the nonfiction book

The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder

9mo

BarkingMadRead

Pirate Latitudes

9mo

Cuilin @ChaoticMissAdventures lol love it!!! Read it last year. Great book. 9mo

Amiable I‘m halfway through “Dissolution” now. 9mo

Jess861 There aren't many pirate books at my local library. I'm going to give the tagged book a go just because it's what they have. Not sure how much I'll like it though.

Corsair

9mo

Jess861 My Tudor pick was definitely something. Never quite read anything like it.

The Wise Woman: A Novel

9mo

AllDebooks @Cuilin I'll keep an eye out for them and let you know 😊 9mo

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk I‘m getting closely acquainted with Hoopla and Libby. 9mo

Cuilin @Amiable Are you liking it? 9mo

Cuilin @Jess861 I guess it depends on the writing style, but the actual story of the Sacking of Baltimore is really interesting. I‘m from that area of Ireland so it‘s a story I‘m familiar with. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this one. 9mo

Cuilin @Jess861 I just read your review. 👍 9mo

Jess861 @Cuilin I'm very interested in the story itself but you are right about the writing style. It seems like one bad thing after another and I'm hoping it's not all war and fighting. Not that it makes a book bad but just not my personal preference. 9mo

Deblovestoread In my efforts to look to my shelves first I‘m also going a bit rogue by choosing

The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi

9mo

Pirates!

Cuilin @julieclair My sisters and I grew up learning and almost hero worshiping Grace O Malley also known in Irish as Gráinne Maol or Granuaile. (edited) 9mo

Cuilin @Amiable that would confuse me too lol. 9mo

Cuilin @sblbooks 👍🏴‍☠️🙏 9mo

Cuilin @rubyslippersreads of course, sounds good. 👍 9mo

dabbe @rubyslippersreads Me, too! 😂 9mo

rubyslippersreads I want to read more Georgette Heyer, and I know this one has mixed reviews, but for pirates, I‘m going with

Beauvallet

9mo

julieclair @rubyslippersreads I love Heyer! Enjoy! 9mo

julieclair @Cuilin That is so cool! 9mo
