Vampires in the Lemon Grove: Stories | Karen Russell

“Often I wonder to what extent a mortal‘s love grows from the bedrock of his or her foreknowledge of death, love coiling like a green stem out of that blankness in a way I‘ll never quite understand. And lately I‘ve been having a terrible thought: Our love affair will end before the world does.”

LiterRohde Thanks for the recommendation @Cinfhen! I‘m loving these stories thus far! 6y

abbielistenstobooks I really wanted that first story to be a whole novel! A couple of others, too. 6y

Billypar I read this collection last year and loved it: what a range Karen Russell has. 6y

So this comic is completely new to me, but it looks like something I would have loved as a kid! I was fanatical about Archie comics.

Candy is about a midwestern girl named Candace who was apparently very sweet but also had a mind of her own. It was published in the 40s and 50s.

Coffee, Tea or Me? | Donald Bain, Baker Trudy, Jones Rachel

This book caused such a scandal when it was released in the 60s. I remember it was verboten in our house—not for kids! It was actually written by a man, Donald Bain, though it was touted as a memoir by two “airline stewardesses. The “stews” were written as lusty and insatiable sex babes (naturally, in the male mind!). When I thought of the song, “No Sugar Tonight” I thought of this book...no sugar, and just no 🚫 to the book as well!

Cinfhen Ha!! Like your interpretation for this one ☝🏾 I remember this ( Coffee, Tea or Me?) as being a catch phrase 6y

gradcat @Cinfhen I‘m surprised that you remember that...it was a double-entendre for the times. Long time ago...and once again, I‘m showing my age! 😂😂 6y

SleepyDragon Never heard of this book, but it reminded me of Jeri Ryan in the movie "Down With Love." 6y

gradcat @NeesyBeth That‘s perfect! 👌🏻😂 6y

Crazeedi @gradcat @Cinfhen wow, totally forgot this, and how we used the phrase when our parents weren't around!😉 it was so racy and so verboten!!! 6y

Cinfhen So true @Crazeedi As a child it felt “sophisticated” using that phrase @gradcat 😂😂😂 6y

The Diabetes Code: Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally | Dr. Jason Fung

#nosugartonight (or any night, really) if you're diabetic. #timbittunes @Cinfhen @TheKidUpstairs

Cailey_Mac The endocrinologist I worked for always strived for this; I loved that he would try to get patients off any medications if he could. 6y

SoniaC Would you recommend it? I‘m struggling with diabetes and am curious if this is worth reading. 6y

jenniferw88 @SoniaC I haven't read this - just did a Goodreads search but if you use insulin and carbohydrate count i can recommend

Carbs & Cals

SoniaC @jenniferw88 Thank you I‘ll check it out. 6y

Dndlnz @SoniaC I‘m torn about the book and his theory. I‘m diabetic. After great A1C for 2 years it doubled. I‘ve spent about 8 weeks on the keto diet. I‘m not perfect — it‘s HARD. I‘ve lost about 6 lbs - not much. Blood sugar down a little. By far biggest help is intermittent fasting 20+ hours. Much more effective than keto. I‘d say go keto — but FAST 24 hours each week. When fasting bs drops and stays low a few days regardless of diet. 6y

jenniferw88 @Chrissyreadit again, the comments may help. 5y
