Does anyone else take photos with the intention of adding a book cover to post #WhatIamReadingNext on Litsy? No, just me? 🤣

I'm starting 10-Year in hardcover from the library and Endling is eBook from Libby. I have a 🌫️ foggy 3 hour drive yet today, let's see how many pages I get through... Celebrate safely 🎄🚗🚘🎅🎁📚

The publication of (the first title in this trilogy edition) A Contract of God in 1978 "marked the birth of the graphic novel". This is a collection of Eisner's stories set on Dropsie Avenue, the Bronx, NY. I cannot say I enjoyed this, it is not "enjoyable" - very dark, very messy of the "human condition", but I am glad to have experienced it. I consider it an historical document. #Dec2025 Book113

A wonderful collection with a true sense of place, but also of mood, a bit of cheerfulness and humor, balanced with a touch of melancholy. I always learn something about poetry and discussion with this author; she makes poetry, inspiring, accessible, and fun.

To say I read every word of this would be a lie. I just don't have it in me at this time of year to devote. I did find it entertaining but since I thought it was the Cloud Atlas Mitchell - I would rather read a Holiday romance 🎄💘 [The so-so rating is my interest in reading this now not a review on the quality.]

Pie I made yesterday (Figgy Pudding Pie - actually a custard) and the book that just came off hold from the library. Now, I was assuming that the author is the David Mitchell that wrote Cloud Atlas, but some reviews say he is a comedian. Same guy? Are there two different David Mitchells? I know, I know; I could just google it …

I read the fiction part first, and now there is no way to redo and try it anew beginning with NF. I do NOT have advice (other than to say that the print does have note on copyright page in front of NF side…) I honestly had to go review my notes on Biography of X to recall if I liked it or not, maybe ‘respect and being intrigued by‘ is positive enough. As to 💭 on this one, I found it fascinating. #Nov2025 Book 108 #ToBLL26 #ToB #Library

I love when books link: The Portable Veblen had some passages about relationships as well as philosophy “there is no past and no future- only now” and this book also explores existentialism.

Bottom image: “I was living so intensely in the present that the future had no meaning.”

In snapshot upper left: “even the copy on the peanut butter jar tried to offer advice— Separation is natural—“ 🤣

BkClubCare Doh. 🤦🏻‍♀️ why didn‘t I try to doodle a mobius strip?! Had to explain to my college age niece abt mobius. Still wondering if she was playing dumb with me; she‘s usually quite bright. But then again, you don‘t know what you don‘t know. (edited) 4w

Quirky ✨
I learned stuff; about Thorstein Veblen, squirrels 🐿️ , many vocabulary words… I think it would be a great discussion book with only your quirkiest friends maybe 🤔 I guess I enjoyed it? #Nov2025 Book107

And OH! How APPROPRIATE to post this on THE most capitalistic kind of day!😂😢 (Veblen coined the term “conspicuous consumption”. Also, the Veblen Effect: the more expensive an item, the more the hordes want to buy it.)

mcctrish I thoroughly enjoyed this book back in the day when I read it and wished I‘d had people to discuss it with 4w
BkClubCare @mcctrish - do you recall the very last squirrel encounter?! It said the squirrel pinched Mom but she thought she was bit? I just wonder WHAT could be the significance of it 😂 And I giggled at the Appendix of words for squirrel in 65 languages! 4w
