It was delete day at the library where I work. I ran into a staff member from another department of the college when I was taking the weeded items to the free table, and she was definitely looking forward to taking a look through them! I waited until others had their chance and then grabbed a couple for myself when I was on my way home #BookHaul
#curiouscovers Day 2: I love the titles of these #redandwhite covered books ❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️
so-soI‘m pretty torn on this book. There is a large amount of privilege of slowing down generally. However, this is more of a self help book then having large societal changes. So I have been doing meditation twice a day, yoga every morning, and driving more slowly. I have seen a general happiness from these acts. I suggest this if you‘re feeling like time is constantly slipping away from you.

This has been on my TBR for a long time and, unfortunately, time has not been kind. While there is still some good information and the message of taking your time in a constantly speeding up world is an always worthwhile one, some of the information is out of date and many of the adoptions - the rise of yoga and meditation, for instance - have become part of the culture rather than passing fads. Still useful information, however.
This is a slow read bc I have to take a break in between each chapter since it's so intense. My slow food and break was enjoying a nice long dinner at a cute tapas place near my place #happinessisresistance #slowread #slowfood #intenseread
Today's #readjanuary had an overall resonance for me. This book is on my #tbr and it keeps catching my eye. In a training today we spoke of the idea of setting aside time now for slowness and reflection to avoid crisis later in a very crisis-driven field. It had me thinking of the value in a deliberate #slowread. I usually read quickly but there is some appeal in slowing down at times. Will tackle this tbr entry soon.
pickI forgot to take a photo of the book, so here's a photo of the swallowtail butterfly I'm caring for through the winter. He loves sugar syrup!
I read Kentucky native Kingsolver's food memoir as I listened to Hillbilly Elegy on audiobook. It was an interesting parallel as Kingsolver described a very different sort of living. I'm a fan of the Slow Food movement, and this book is a great reminder. #slowfood #readharder #foodmemoir
Spiced whiskey pear jam from this book wins everything forever. #food #jam #preservetheseason #slowfood #preserves
