While Pistachio is contentedly wrapped in a cozy blanket, I show up to annoy him with a book pose.

#SummerSouls #Rollercoaster I am fascinated w/all things NYC & Coney Island in particular. This book is a tale told in postcards from its grand times in the 1880s to WWI . There were 3 large amusement parks that eventually were lost to fire. Nicknamed Sodom by the Sea w/ rail connections hundreds of thousands would come per day.There is a record that 1 day in 1906 200k postcards were mailed from Coney. I treasure this book I‘ve had for decades .

#LuckyInLove Day 25: If you are looking for stories about #SoulMate(s), you can never go wrong with the Griffin and Sabine trilogy. 7 books now in the entire series. Here is Fats‘ review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-BY - I invite you, though, to not just read the post but the comments too. Very intriguing.

Eggs Excellent 👌🏼 11mo
marleed I love this series and can never see myself parting with my books - I have all but one in the series! 11mo

Just in time before the start of #scarathlon, my last two #litsylove postcards are going out today! It was fun sending a quick hello to everyone (I hope my system didn't break down and miss someone), and I look forward to getting to know people better with full letters 😁

ShelleyBooksie Beautiful! 1y
Kimzey Thanks for the moose postcard! 1y

At times, this was hard to read - Franny goes through so much & it takes most of the book to piece together what‘s happened to her. It can be frustrating to read, as you don‘t have all the pieces to make sense of until the end. This will irritate some (maybe most) readers.
I really liked it though, maybe because I listened to the audio rather than giving it a straight read? In any case I enjoyed this one and it‘s echoes of Moby Dick very much.

sarahbarnes I loved this one. 1y
batsy Intriguing! Nice review. I know @BarbaraBB recommended this to me when I was looking for more climate fiction. I haven't read Moby Dick so maybe I will read that first and then this 🤓 1y
BarbaraBB @batsy That sounds like a plan 😀 I guess I also recommended the tagged one?! 1y

batsy @BarbaraBB Yes you did! 😁 1y
Aimeesue @batsy Ot might be interesting to read them back to back. I read MD so long ago that I only caught the major resonances; I‘m not sure it goes deeper than chasing the metaphorical white whale and enigmatic sea folk. 😁 But if it does map more closely, I can‘t remember! (edited) 1y
Aimeesue @BarbaraBB ˆWhales begin sinking ships." Wow, not even fiction these days between the orcas and the sea otters! Stacked! 1y
batsy @Aimeesue Oh, cool! It gives me a reason to tackle MD because I meant to last year, and the year before last 😆 1y
