The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: Democracy, the Internet, and the Overthrow of Everything | Joe Trippi

Kind of a random book haul today, but I feel like I hit the jackpot with these finds! I especially love finding stories from my childhood that I loved. My mom used to subscribe to indie children's book publishers who would mail us books every month and I also had a lot of hand-me-down books from my sister, so finding any of those titles again is super fun. 🤍

TiredLibrarian I had that edition of Perrault's Fairy Tales; brings back memories! 2mo

What a delightful book! It‘s a story of friendship and life choices, with wonderfully drawn characters. The main characters are food and wine bloggers, and now that I‘m blogging, I appreciate the community that these women create. As with pretty much everything this author writes, food is integral to the story; maybe that‘s why I like her books so much. Definitely recommend. FYI, it‘s tomato bisque with Parmesan croutons.

thecheckoutstack Thanks so much for listening @BookmarkTavern! 5mo

Chelsea.Poole Just finished the episode. Really enjoyed hearing @monalyisha and all the recs. This may just be my favorite new podcast!?! (I don‘t listen to podcasts but maybe I do now!) 5mo

monalyisha Aww, thanks @Chelsea.Poole & @BookmarkTavern! I don‘t typically listen to podcasts either but you know I think this topic is worth it…and I love Maria‘s passion! I *do* listen to Katherine May‘s podcast occasionally (because of course I do). And I managed to get into “60 Songs That Explain the 90‘s” for a while (the episode about Mazzy Star was my personal fave). 5mo

Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen | Julie Powell

1) I might use either of my teen-age nicknames, both based on fictional characters: Esme and/or Molly

2) tagged - though most people in Germany pronounce my name "Yoollya" ??

TheSpineView Interesting way to pronounce your name. Thanks for playing! 9mo

julesG @TheSpineView A "J" is pronounced like a "Y" (as in you, young, yeah) in German, I don't mind that so much. But even as a native speaker of German I still don't understand why the first syllable is shortened and the "I+A" turns into "Y+A" in most mouths, especially after I've pronounced my name as "YouLeeAh" (exaggeration). Maybe I should change my first name after all. ?? 9mo

Symptoms of Being Human | Jeff Garvin

I dip my brush into the surrounding light and begin to paint, erasing the cold blackness bit by bit, replacing it with warm, bright light. I get all the way to the far edge, until there‘s only a sliver of black remaining—
And I reach up with my brush and paint it white.
