so-soMy oat milk latte didn't seem to come with espresso today 😂. So pale!
Hughes wrote a column in a Chicago newspaper of stories about Jesse Semple, a Black Harlemite in 1910-1920 people called him Simple. He is a drinking, womanizer who waxes poetic about life in America. Overall I thought it was good for the vibe and place in time but Simple was so annoying it took me a month to read b/c I just didn't want to hang with him
Reading this feels like listening to Curtis during the NYC mayor debates?

I know I‘ve already posted my #HauntedShelf TBR but today I thought it was a good idea to put it all on one slide. So here we go. Revamped TBR post.

pick#CharacterCharm Day 30: Augusta Baker educated herself and became the first Black person to earn a degree from SUNY Albany in library sciences and information studies. As the first Black #Librarian, she curated the James Weldon Johnson Memorial collection in 1944 to find uplifting stories about people of color. More here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-r3d
Just picked up this vintage paperback collection of short stories, Millennial Women. Includes a novella by Ursula K Le Guin.
pickThe sky is spectacular tonight. As is this book. I‘m in awe of how much Claire Keegan can tell with so little words.
This is Bruce Pennington's wrap-around artwork for "Beyond the Curtain of Dark", which is just too good to not show in full ?????
I want that revenant's hooded frock coat to lounge around the house in! Those pockets would hold a good-sized book or two!
This is a collection of horror stories edited by prolific anthologist, Peter Haining, who's usually a safe pair of (monster) hands!?
I've read a few of the stories already, but mainly not.
Library book found ! Checked it out for the #whartonbuddyread of the Bunner sisters ,got mixed into a stack that I didn‘t get to the bottom of where it shouldn‘t have been anyway as I like to keep Library books separate for just this reason! 😂📚📚🙄
pickI have a vet surgeon friend who always tells me the sad and crazy things that happen on the job, so I thought of her while reading this book. The author shares the most memorable patient stories from his career—some of them made me gasp, some made me say, ‘WTF?‘, and some were just gross. It takes heart and courage to be a vet. These stories provide a small glimpse into what it‘s like to be on call for our closest companions.
