TheBookHippie Holding my breath 🎗️… I don‘t say much on this platform because IMTIREDOFHATE but today I‘m just holding my breath waiting to see what happens. Then next week is a whole other story. My brain cannot comprehend I once again need to know the rights of students and if ICE can come into the buildings. RAGE is an appropriate word for the day. I know ppl don‘t like the political for me today this is my reality. So I put a spoiler up. Oy. 10h

tpixie Great! Reading my daily read of Les Misérables for #READLESMIS. I‘m going to finally finish my #AuthorAMonth WhoseBody? ThankGoodness! And I just read JRR Tolkien‘s poem, Errantry which is very lyrical. @Daisey shared it with me! Tonight, I‘m going to a school fundraiser with my daughter. Several men cook samples of food and you go to each table to try them, & then you vote on your favorite. I‘m bringing baggies- it‘s always too much food ? 10h

TheBookHippie @tpixie Les Mis is such a zen thing everyday. ♥️ 10h

tpixie @TheBookHippie yes! Thanks for hosting!! 10h

Sace I finished my sixth book of the month and I‘m currently staying tuned to the weather in hopes of another bonus day off 🤣 10h

Sace @TheBookHippie I have been thinking about you. I‘m also holding my breath and anxious about next week. 10h

Bookwormjillk @TheBookHippie I hear you. I‘m dreading going to work in DC on Tuesday. Really relieved that it‘s so cold and apparently they‘re all going to stay inside. 9h

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie I fully understand how you're feeling and wish there was something I could do to make you feel better. Just know you're not alone. I think the whole world will be holding its breath on Monday. X 9h

AllDebooks @tpixie I love Les Mis. Tonight's event sounds fun. Enjoy. X 9h

AllDebooks @Sace lol, I get that wish. 🤣 9h

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk I can't imagine how touh that's gonna be. My thoughts are with you. X 9h

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I'm just finally having my morning coffee. We are heading to Easton, PA today to have a belated holiday with my guy's cousin and her two sons (19 & 16). The father passed about 2 years ago and they all had similar interests. We like to spend time with the boys talking about superheroes and Legos. @TheBookHippie I am not looking forward to this week. You're all in my thoughts. ❤️ 9h

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk ugh thankful for small favours of the weather. Sigh. 9h

TheBookHippie @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick So sweet. Legos are the best! Hope you all have a wonderful time. ♥️ 9h

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks Yup. Just keep swimming!!! 9h

quietlycuriouskate @TheBookHippie I don't know what to say about Monday: still can't quite get my head around the fact that it's for real. 9h

tpixie @Sace snow days are fun! At any age!! 🩵❄️🩵 9h

tpixie @AllDebooks thanks! 😊 9h

dabbe @TheBookHippie Right there with you, my friend. Living in a border state has me very worried as well. I still can't even wrap my head around it. He loses and there's an almost-insurrection. We lose, and we're supposed to play nice in the sandbox. RAGE is the word. 🩶🖤🩶 9h

TheBookHippie @quietlycuriouskate SAME. 9h

TheBookHippie @dabbe ♥️💯 9h

Bookwormjillk @dabbe 👏👏👏 9h

Seabreeze_Reader @dabbie @thebookhippie Thank you to the Littens here for acknowledging & writing something about the upcoming IT event. I'm feeling a wide range of emotions. 🥺😤😱 (It's better to not feel isolated in our feelings/opinions, IMHO.) On Monday, I won't be watching any tv broadcasts. Even knowing it won't change anything at all, instead on Monday I plan to read a #bannedbook

Anne Frank's Diary: The Graphic Novel

Librarybelle @TheBookHippie I was talking with my parents yesterday about how no one in my area has thought about those forced to leave the US and the impact this will have on the agriculture here. It‘s so sad. Rage away…I‘m with you! 9h

TheBookHippie @Seabreeze_Reader I‘m doing service for MLK day and not tuning into a thing. I absolutely agree we should speak up. Those who are celebrating would like us not to - and to be quiet, which is not my problem. 9h

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle many have left here (in November -about 60 percent). 9h

Librarybelle @TheBookHippie 😔 So very sad. By the way, have you read this…we‘re discussing it for #LiteraryCrew on Monday, and it‘s been a good read on speaking up in your own way against hate for a YA audience. I‘ve thought of you while reading the stories!

Take the Mic: Fictional Stories of Everyday Resistance

Faranae I'm super sleep-deprived, but also excited because I finally have a fridge in my basement suite, so I can maybe start eating better. Anyone got healthy snack ideas? Nothing crunchy and it's winter here in the far North so produce will cost an arm and a leg. But baking is an option! 😻 8h

It feels like we're reading an unrealistic sci-fi book...

My mom and I went grocery shopping yesterday. We stocked up a bit in case there's some kind of chaos and we're forced to shelter in place...that sounds ridiculous...this just all feels unsettling.

Keep praying for our wild in the forests, waters, and sky.

TheBookHippie @AnnCrystal ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ 8h

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle yes we did this with young people for a book club ♥️♥️♥️ last go round … 8h

Sace @AllDebooks I love my job and my kids are the BEST, but being at home snuggled in bed reading is even better! 😊 8h

Librarybelle @AnnCrystal ❤️❤️❤️ 8h

Librarybelle @TheBookHippie It‘s a good book club book for teens! 8h

Sace @tpixie they certainly are! 8h

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle they very much liked it. 8h

AllDebooks @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick lego is the best invention. Have a fun time x 8h

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie 💙 7h

AllDebooks @quietlycuriouskate it's a dystopian nightmare, but unfortunately, irl. I'm still in shock 7h

AllDebooks @dabbe 💙 thinking of you all 💙 7h

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie @tpixie @sace @Bookwormjillk @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @quietlycuriouskate @dabbe @Seabreeze_Reader @Librarybelle @Faranae @AnnCrystal And to anyone else who participates in #Chatterday 😊 Thank you for your responses. I started this as an open, safe space to discuss anything. I'm so pleased you all feel able to voice your worries, alongside all the good stuff. X 7h

AllDebooks @Seabreeze_Reader I'm with you 💯 x 7h

AllDebooks I'm changing today's #Chatterday tag to #RAGEaday. X 7h

AllDebooks @Librarybelle We had this issue after Brexit. No one thought about a ll the EU residents working in the UK that would return to their home countries. Take the mic was the best read. 👌 7h

AllDebooks @Faranae we love flapjacks. Various nice recipes in this article https://www.olivemagazine.com/guides/snacks-winter-walks/ 7h

AllDebooks @AnnCrystal human rights aside, the environment is my biggest fear. It's going to be completely neglected and plundered to the detriment of us all. 7h

Suet624 @TheBookHippie I‘m with you. If folks aren‘t upset about what‘s coming they just aren‘t paying attention or have no compassion. 7h

Bookwormjillk @AllDebooks ❤️ 7h

quietlycuriouskate @AllDebooks Thank you for holding the space. Yes, Litsy is a respite from the ongoing crapification of the world BUT at the same time, this mustn't be a place where folk feel they must be silent. I'm scared for the whole damn world and feel helpless, pretty much, but want to show solidarity with our friends in America. God, I never imagined that Brexit was just the warm-up act for this clusterfuck. 6h

TheBookHippie @quietlycuriouskate RIGHT?!?! 5h

TheBookHippie @Suet624 💯 5h

AnnCrystal 🫂👍 @AllDebooks the environmental threat is going to be truly scary 😢🙏. Unimaginable dreadfully nightmarish...thank you for creating this safe space. (edited) 4h

My Brilliant Friend: Neapolitan Novels, Book One | Elena Ferrante

I‘m starting to read this again while waiting for my new edition of Les Miserables to come. I asked a friend to Buddy Read it with me because the characters and story are so different (best word ) that I have been longing to talk to someone about it. #ReadLesMis

tpixie @DrSabrinaMoldenReads that one is more modern than the one you have now, so it probably will be easier to read! Good luck! 6d
