My joys:

1. Finished “Enchantment” - tagged. Such exquisite writing and a beautiful reminder to notice wonder in your every day.

2. I got a new job! I‘ve been working as a marketing copywriter for 15 years - most recently at John Deere. I recently go head hunted by Bobcat and cannot wait to start! Gonna be amazing.

3. The sun this morning!

4. Made pasta!

5. Watched “No Taste Like Home with Antoni Porowski” - highly recommend!

#DynamicDs #Doorway I read this long ago . People read it a lot in the drug infused 60s Huxley wrote both in the 1950s.

This was a real joy to read. He even managed to find a good story about cake! Even though this is nonfiction, it explains the desperate need for fiction, especially literary fiction, to the wellbeing of humanity. Definitely worth reading in 2025 America. Seriously, this is a cheery, encouraging, and engaging explanation of everything we‘re getting wrong and how to fix it.

GingerAntics It even includes the morning he woke up expecting to read about America‘s first female president and woke up feeling horrible for America. It‘s so fitting. 21h

Absolutely ADORED this description of musical chairs! 🤣😂🤣 I also thought the revised version he suggested would be more fun, and be a great critical thinking and creative problem solving exercise.

I haven‘t had a car since 2016. It has severely limited opportunities in all kinds of areas (including renewing my driver‘s license - which apparently now I need to be able to get a new job, even if driving is not required). Taking public transport is a struggle when it‘s seen as less than or lower class. It has plus sides though, and I feel like truly developed countries should be moving in this direction and away from all these bleeding cars.

Bookwomble I recommend the tagged book if you can get a copy 🙂 20h
Ruthiella I loved living in a city with good public transport. That was a few decades ago, alas. 15h
GingerAntics @Ruthiella I live in a relatively small city, but we do actually have pretty good public transport. The buses are even hybrids. Its great. If only it wasn‘t seen as for poor people and the elderly. 14h

From personal experience, I can absolutely attest to this.
If you want to screw up your kids forever, give them an inferiority complex coupled with isolating them as much as possible.

This is 3 April and I‘m starting my third book. The first two have been horrible (one pan and one DNF), so here‘s hoping this one is way better… yeah, I picked what is probably a walk off home run in good books, but after the last two books, let‘s make this happen.

April‘s #DoubleSpin is clear—and is also my #44 pick for #50x50. For my #BookSpin, I get to pick a book published in the 1950s—70s for #192025. Above are the three I‘m thinking about… any recommendations?

Suet624 Yay for Anam Cara. I‘ve only read A Separate Peace (as a teenager) out of the three and I liked it. (edited) 2d
TheBookHippie I like them all 👀🤫🙃 2d
BarbaraJean @Suet624 I'm really looking forward to Anam Cara. It's been on my list for so long and it's nice to have the “assignment“ to read it! @TheBookHippie Good news is I'll be reading them all at some point before the end of the year!! 2d

TheAromaofBooks Oh Black Sheep is one of my favorite Heyer romances!! 1d
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Oh, that‘s good to know! I‘ve been leaning toward Black Sheep anyway because I‘m pretty sure that will be a nice escapist read—the other two, not so much 😆 24h

The title is pretty self explanatory in what its about.

I feel that I finally had some arguments if I ever where to get into a discussion with a pro-lifer. And that actually feels great.

For me gaslighting was a term that suddenly turned about and was everywhere. Now I feel that I finally understand what it is and how it‘s used

I‘m so glad #SheSaid made me aware of this book so I read it

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m glad you liked it, or at least got some interesting things from it. Her other book Down Girl was very good too. (edited) 2d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa For gaslighting, I think I need to track down the original play now and read it. 2d
