Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here: The United States, Central America, and the Making of a Crisis | Jonathan Blitzer

I was influenced into buying the TikTok bookshelf. I love it! I‘m thankful my husband helped me (read: did it himself) put it together because it was complex. Thinking about getting another….its so nice that it doesn‘t have to go against a wall.

vlwelser And where does someone purchase this lovely tiktok bookshelf? 3w

TiredLibrarian Love this! ❤️ 3w

Ruthiella You provided much needed emotional support during the building process, I am sure! 😂 3w

LMJenkins @vlwelser - if you are on TikTok, you could probably just search “rotating bookshelf” and find it! (edited) 3w

The Wind Knows My Name | Isabel Allende

What would the new normal look like? The windows and doors would be suddenly thrown open and humanity would totter back out into the world, hesitant at first. He imagined euphoric crowds taking to the streets and impromptu carnivals as people embraced with joy. But he would not be one of them.

I'd not realised this was a #Pandemic novel.

Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here: The United States, Central America, and the Making of a Crisis | Jonathan Blitzer

pick

A long, quite involved audiobook about the state of immigration in the United States by way of Mexico and elsewhere in Central America. Blitzer goes back to cover a history of immigration, including policies and the political climate around the topic, and continues into the present day. He profiles individuals to humanize the topics of deportation, detention, and even parent-child separation at the border. ..to be continued in 2025 😱

ncsufoxes I have the physical copy of this book. I‘ve been slowly reading it. It‘s heartbreaking, it‘s even worse to know that US policy has created so many of these scenarios 3mo

Bookwormjillk Up early to drive my son to work them coming home to drink all the tea and read all the books. Shopping with my daughter later. 3mo

Sace I confess I started my week in an irritable mood despite having Monday off. The skies were gray and I had been people-ing too much. I‘m feeling better now. My only plans today are grocery shopping, haircut, lunch and reading. 3mo

Read4life We‘re still in the USVI taking care of my father in law. There was no change with him this week. We were able to get to the beach 4 days this week. This weekend we‘re going to spend time with my mother in law and her husband. In spite of the stressful reason we‘re here, we are getting some wonderful time with family. 3mo

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk a perfect day. What are you reading? 3mo

AllDebooks @Sace sounds tough but at least you can have a pamper day indulging in what you want to do. Enjoy x 3mo

AllDebooks @Read4life I'm so sorry. Sending love x 3mo

AllDebooks I'm hibernating today, with a stack of books. It's so cold today ❄️ 3mo

Bookwormjillk @AllDebooks a very long Udolpho chapter then back to

The Break

3mo

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk I'm working up to that. 😅 Atm, I'm completely absorbed in

Withered Hill: A dark and unsettling British folk horror novel

3mo

DogMomIrene It‘s been raining and will keep raining here for next several days, so I‘m prepped for some doggy snuggles with my ebook. And audiobook time when we go downstairs to the basement to play some indoor fetch. 3mo

Daisey I‘ve got another weekend at home full of fall projects and school work. I also hope to fit in some good reading time. 3mo

AllDebooks @DogMomIrene 🐾 Sounds lovely 🐾 3mo

AllDebooks @Daisey wishing you a creative, productive weekend. 3mo

TheBookHippie @DogMomIrene rain here too every single day. Although it‘s usually snow! 3mo

TheBookHippie @Read4life sending love. 3mo

TheBookHippie Just trying to catch up on rest. I‘ve not slept much in 10 days. 3mo

Read4life @TheBookHippie Thank you! 💙 Sending some positive vibes your way. I hope you can get some good sleep soon. ❤️ 3mo

Read4life @AllDebooks 💙💙💙 3mo

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie yikes, that's bad. Hope you catch up on some 💤 soon x 3mo

Faranae A week of insomnia, so I'm way behind on everything, but at least my stream reading has been going great (although an entire 30 minutes of my silly Don Quixote voice has left my vocal cords shredded oops). Going to try to get the two last Amelia Edwards stories I need to finish this weekend for the epub I'm making. Also skimming the diary of Gideon Mantell. 3mo

DogMomIrene @TheBookHippie I‘d love snow, but we just got some flurries that didn‘t stick😮‍💨 Hope you get some sleep! 3mo

AllDebooks @Faranae hope you get back to a more normal sleep pattern soon. Enjoy your reading. X 3mo

Time for a much needed #SaturdayChatterday

Well, what a week it's been for everyone. How are you feeling? This is a safe space to chat about whatever is on your mind.
All welcome to join in.

@Catsandbooks @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @Librarybelle @IndoorDame @Cuilin @dabbe @BarkingMadRead @Eggs

AllDebooks I've taken refuge in books this week. The real world has been too much. 3mo

Librarybelle I found I wanted to read last night, which it‘s been a few days since I really could. There‘s been a lot on my mind, and Heather Cox Richardson‘s post this morning puts it into words so eloquently. She‘s an amazing political historian who bases everything she says on facts and history. But, this weekend is usual routines, with Sunday being a family get together. These checkins are so nice. Thank you! ❤️ 3mo

Bookwormjillk Happy Saturday. I have a busy week next week so I have to do some prep this weekend. I also have been doing some research for books to read next year which is fun. 3mo

Cuilin What a week! there‘s never been a time in my life where I prefer audiobooks to reading, but I did this week. All I wanted to do was curl up and listen to David Copperfield‘s life. Today I‘m going Providence RI to get my daughter for the long weekend. 3mo

Cuilin @Librarybelle H Cox Richardson is amazing. 3mo

DogMomIrene @Librarybelle @Cuilin I may need to suck it up and subscribe/pay for H Cox Richardson‘s substack. @Suet624 mentioned her to me. I‘ve tried Substack before and was overwhelmed by the number of emails I received. Wondering what you all would say the average read time is for her posts? Under ten minutes? Like could I make her a daily morning read with coffee? And then continue coffee with Litsy time (obviously 😉) 3mo

Cuilin @DogMomIrene I follow her on TikTok. 3mo

Suet624 @DogMomIrene @Librarybelle - I've followed Heather for years. You can read her on Facebook but the simplest method is subscribing on Substack. You don't have to pay for it if you don't want to. She is also doing an audio version if you're interested in that. It comes out later in the day. Did you see the post she wrote the day after the election? And her posts generally take less than 10 minutes to read. 3mo

Librarybelle @DogMomIrene @Suet624 @Cuilin I just started following her on FB, after reading the reposts friends would do! I also heard her speak a few weeks ago at a virtual event, and I was struck by how articulate and knowledgeable she is. I have her books and really need to read them. I agree with @Suet624 …it takes me less than 10 minutes to read her posts. 3mo

AllDebooks @Librarybelle How have I never heard of her? I'll be checking out her posts. Thank you. Knowledge is power! Honestly, these #chatterdays are a blessing and it's so much fun to check in. 3mo

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk it's always fun to plan future reads. I hope your prep gies well. 3mo

AllDebooks @Cuilin Same! I've found them better at quietening the mind. And I've certainly needed that. Enjoy your long weekend and have a safe trip. 3mo

AllDebooks @DogMomIrene I've just followed her FB page 3mo

AllDebooks I have to say Litsy has been a lifeline this week. I've avoided other socials and news, cos it was too much. I've never felt so overwhelmed. The love and compassion of Littens has been a source of comfort. I've never known on an online community that is so supportive of each other. Thank you #Littens 😊 3mo

TheBookHippie @DogMomIrene it‘s under 10 and her daily letter is free. https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/november-8-2024 3mo

AllDebooks I'm spending the weekend on planning #MidwinterSolace I think we're really going to need it. And it will run thru Dec and Jan again. ❄️❤️❄️ 3mo

TheBookHippie Well considering people I love and even some on here voted against my being it‘s 😵‍💫. The people being really quiet because they don‘t dare say hate out loud and actually do know how dangerous it is now for me, and my students especially, (and a large population of people that live in the US) is hard to digest. I‘m not trying to be divisive. It‘s truth. So I‘m grappling with that this morning. (edited) 3mo

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks 💙💙💙💙💙 3mo

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie I couldn't sleep last night after reading Project 2025 earlier in the day. 3mo

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks I read it long ago. It‘s terrifying. 3mo

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie it really is. I'd readnewspaper reports but the actual document is so much more sinister abd divisive 3mo

DogMomIrene @Suet624 @Cuilin @Librarybelle @AllDebooks @TheBookHippie Thank you Littens! I‘m following her on Substack with notifications through the app only, which will pair nicely with some Litsy coffee time while keeping my email a little less jumbled. Already read her 11/8 post and I‘m all in. 3mo

Suet624 @DogMomIrene 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 3mo

Suet624 @TheBookHippie Ugh. I know. Thank you for sharing the truth. 3mo

kspenmoll Litsy has been my safety net. Taking it easy after election fallout. Talking with like minded friends has helped. Just reading & walking today. Nature soothes me. Trying to keep the terror at bay. 3mo

dabbe Thanks for the tag, @MaleficentBookDragon. 😘 I just have to say it: what a fucking week. I also picked a great week to have a dental implant removed--plus finding out I had a pretty bad infection. Just the cherry on the banana split that reeks of mold. But ... the sun keeps rising, and the earth keeps spinning. And this is a place of solace and healing. Thanks, Littens. #onedayatatime 💙 3mo

Catsandbooks Feeling overwhelmed, enraged, and exhausted. Been watching a lot of hallmark Christmas movies. My plan for the rest of the year is to really lean into all things comfort and cozy. I just wanna stay in and not deal with people. 3mo

It‘s #saturdaychatterday feel like a virtual coffee chit chat meet up? Here or on @AllDebooks page? or both?
My day is BUSY! I‘m working on having reasonable expectations and not getting/feeling overwhelmed.

kspenmoll I can sympathize with your feeling overwhelmed with too many expectations! Try & give yourself down times in between or do little thongs that refresh you! Thanks for all you do to keep this community going. Sending love . 💕 As for me, I hope to walk, read6, do some housework- then I am chaperoning at our next HS Homecoming dance! I love seeing the kids dressed up & dancing. (edited) 4mo

inthegreensandblues Reasonable expectations 👍💚 I've got some important things on the to do list, but it's a gray, cozy autumn day and I'm starting it with reading time and candles and coffee. 4mo

Avanders That‘s an important focus during the holidays! I already feel a bit overwhelmed 🫢 I‘m trying to allow myself to feel the excitement of the holidays, though, rather than stifling everything down in favor of the more practical aspects of living life… 🎄❄️♥️ 4mo

AllDebooks I've had a relaxing day of family visits. Now settling down to an evening of scary reading with #LosersClub November read

'Salem's Lot

4mo

Sace Trying to get some reading done. I‘ve got a library book I have to finish. I‘ve already renewed it once. 4mo

Sace @AllDebooks is there a schedule for that somewhere? I don‘t have a copy of Salem‘s Lot, but I‘d love to try to read some others with y‘all (namely The Dead Zone and Needful Things). 4mo

AllDebooks @Sace #LosersClub is hosted by @BarkingMadRead Salem's Lot is Nov read. I think we're reading in publication order, is that right Kim? https://litsy.com/p/ckUxclFWRjJ1 4mo

Sace Nice! Seems I must be at the beginning of the cycle. I just read Carrie for Halloween. 4mo
