#RingofKeys immediately made me think of the main character of my #currentread, retired locksmith Leo Gursky. I adore him and this book.

Lock and Key: The Initiation | Ridley Pearson

I delayed one of yesterday‘s prompts #ringofkeys. I wanted to borrow Josh‘s jail key collection. It‘s quite large. This is just a few. #musicalnewyear @Cinfhen @vivastory

vivastory That's an impressive key collection! 6y

GingerAntics That‘s awesome!!! 6y

Cinfhen Very cool!! 6y

Linear When I read " it's quite large," that drum noise that happens when people say puns on tv sounded in my head. Because when I saw the keys I was like " those are large keys" 6y

LibrarianRyan @Linear 🤣🤣 6y

Eleanor and Hick: The Love Affair That Shaped a First Lady | Susan Quinn

Catch up from yesterday! I admire Eleanor Roosevelt, yet I had to bail on this book...I just couldn‘t get into the writing style. This book chronicles the relationship between Eleanor and Loretta Hicks. I‘m sure somewhere along the way a #RingOfKeys passed between them. I‘m glad Eleanor found happiness...I‘m not a fan of FDR and how he treated her! #MusicalNewYear

TheBookHippie I bailed toooo!!!! Also huge fan of Eleanor! (edited) 6y

Librarybelle @TheBookHippie I‘m glad I‘m not the only one who bailed! 6y

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle I was sad I really wanted to read about it!! It was not written well 😳. I tried twice 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ 6y

Cinfhen I read the historical fictional account of their friendship/ relationship. It was ok

White Houses: A Novel

vivastory It's a shame that the book was disappointing! 6y

The Apartment | S. L. Grey

#MusicalNewYear #day5 #RingOfKeys Not exactly a whole ring of keys,but it‘s the closest I could find in this hoarders closet/library.This was a #blameitonlitsy buy a year ago that I haven‘t gotten around to reading,I should fix that.A couple are left terrorized after a home invasion & decide to holiday house swap to Paris.But the apartment is not what they were promised & unable to contact the owners, return home. But something is not quite right.

Cinfhen Sounds creepy!!!!! 6y

Cinfhen How are u feeling these days???? 6y

Lizpixie @Cinfhen pretty much the same. Xmas was rough, my legs and feet blew up to twice their size & im still feeling the effects of fatigue & nausea.I have a few specialists coming up, it‘s now a year+ on these crutches, so I‘m hoping to at least get to the point I can attempt hydrotherapy & PT. But I have lots of books to read, a comfy chair, my library & the best husband in the world so that‘s keeping me sane. Plus my grandbabies!👫👬Hows your family? 6y

vivastory I've heard good things about this book. Plus, it's co-authored, which is very rare. 6y

Cinfhen That‘s rough, Liz!!! Thank God you are blessed with a wonderful, supportive family ❤️ 6y

Cinfhen And of course your comfy throne 👑 6y

Cinfhen My gang is well, thank God but we are all spread out across the ocean, so that‘s rough. My daughter is in NY and now my middle son is in LA. I MISS my babies 😭😭😭😭😭hoping to see them in March. So something to look forward to. 6y

Lizpixie @Cinfhen I know how you feel, when my grandbabies were in Tasmania it was a physical ache in my chest every time I thought of them.💔 6y

When Katie Met Cassidy | Camille Perri

The lyrics for #ringofkeys made me think of this book. The swagger that the singer talks about just brought to mind Cassidy, in her power suits, with her devil may care attitude. I loved her character so much that I fell for this story book, line, and sinker. #musicalnewyear

Cinfhen, vivastory

vivastory I've heard good things about this one 6y

Cinfhen Did this feel YA to you??? The title and cover gives me major YA vibes 🤷‍♀️ 6y

Reviewsbylola Not really. You know how I feel about YA. 😆 @Cinfhen 6y

Cinfhen Yup #NoYA 6y

Chelsea Girls | Eileen Myles

I've enjoyed the poetry by Eileen Myles that I've read. Looking forward to this autobiographical novel that---according to the blurb---addresses among other things "her unabashed 'lesbianity,' and her riotous pursuit of survival as a poet in 1970s New York."

Side note: the Fun Home musical is so good ?❤

#ringofkeys #musicalnewyear
@Cinfhen @vivastory

vivastory I missed it when it was here, will definitely catch it next time. I met Eileen Myles when I lived in Minneapolis. She is great! 6y

Cinfhen That‘s pretty cool @vivastory and I missed Fun Home too. I still need to read the memoir 6y

vivastory @Cinfhen Apparently there was a character in the Amazon series Transparent (I've never watched it) that was loosely based on her. 6y

Cinfhen Oh yes, I remember reading or hearing that @vivastory 6y

readordierachel @vivastory @cinfhen That character on Transparent was great! I watched the show but didn't realize it was supposed to be based on her til you mentioned it 👍🏽 6y

The Bloody Chamber: And Other Stories: 75th-anniversary Edition | Angela Carter

A #ringofkeys is essential to the plot of Bluebeard and Angela Carter's Bloody Chamber is a sensual, fierce, feminist fairy tale. #musicalnewyear @Cinfhen @vivastory

vivastory Such a great choice. I really need to read more Carter. 6y

Cinfhen This might work for #FairytaleRetelling @Megabooks 6y

Megabooks @Cinfhen Oooo, interesting! Thanks for the tag @Cinfhen 😁 Great quote @Moray_Reads ! (edited) 6y
