“‘If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater his effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders - What would you tell him?‘
‘To shrug.‘”

My #currentreads feel #hotandheavy , and I‘m close to bailing on The Milkman. I like the narration, theme... but it feels like a chore. 🤯😓
Coincidentally, both these books are set in the 1970s.
The Milkman-supposedly Northern Ireland
Cop Town- Atlanta

Been getting #HotAndHeavy with my #Shelves trying to rearrange them because they are still a bit of a mess! 😬😅 this is one of three that I‘ve been trying to organize! The problem is that I start one idea then decide I don‘t like that! 😂 #JazzyJune #30JuneBooks

Escaping reality to #ImaginaryPlaces of their own ideals, a group of millennials move off grid to a historic site in upstate NY where other communes have tried and failed- usually due to the #HotAndHeavy antics between members... but trigger warning to dog lovers here... #WanderingJune #JazzyJune #DogsOfLitsy
#jazzyjune #hotandheavy @Eggs I picked this book because it‘s about a young girl who is murdered on a hot summer night. Heavy topic but an excellent read. The movie isn‘t bad either.
Emoni would like to be #hotandheavy with Malachi, the new kid in town. But she has other responsibilities to consider...

Katie Bonner, the reluctant manager of Artisans Alley in the shopping district of Victoria Square, is no stranger to ambivalence. Things have been going hot & heavy with pizza maker Andy Rust—so much so that Katie has moved in over his pizza parlor.
