Had been meaning to read this book for such a long time. Finally did. Recommend!!
Overnight stay in Portland means a stop at Powell‘s! Two books that were on my TBR list and a new discovery. Plus a puzzle. Spending that Christmas money!
So good! You must read The Searcher first. If you fall/fell in love with Trey (how couldn‘t you?), you‘ll be happy to know this book is full of Trey.
We were without power for five nights after the bomb cyclone hit western WA. Treated myself to a visit at my favorite local indie. I‘ve earned it.
Bookstore Haul🩷 Tried to lift my post-election broken spirit/heart with a trip to one of my favorite indie bookstores.
Re-read volumes 1-5 to get ready for 6. Tried to go slow to make it last, but I couldn‘t. I love these boys so much. How long until 7? 🤺❤️
Went to a work training, for which I will not be paid, so I treated myself to an indie bookstore visit. 💗
Celebrated Independent Bookstore Day at Bloomsbury Books in Ashland, OR. We are traveling, so only one book.
My personal 2024 challenge - 6 books I have owned for quite some time, but not yet read.
What I would give for more books about the medieval world (especially art) filled with full-color pictures!
Look. It‘s not my fault that there is a bookstore near the medical center. One deserves a treat for getting one‘s physical.
OMG. I got to go to Birch Bark, the bookstore that Louise Erdrich owns!
indie bookstore haul!
“If there is any clear message in the fossil record, any distilled takeaway that the entire history of life on Earth speaks to with a full and clear voice, it‘s that no species is inevitable.”
“We must work to create a society with liberty and justice for all. We will fail and fail and fail at this goal. Our failure is the history of the world. But our humanity is in the fact that we never cease to try.”

“. . . I described my classmates as “a herd of mouth-breathing fucktard yokels who wade around in a miasma of cliché so thick you can practically smell the bacon and cabbage and cow shite and altar candles.” Even assuming I was having a bad day, I think this shows a certain lack of respect for cultural differences.”
This is my first Tana French. So far, so good!
Oh, how angry and despairing I am! I already knew and agreed with Synder‘s big points on healthcare in the US, but he is very good at weaving in the details, the effects, the havoc . . . This book is tiny, but mighty. Another one I wish I could make all people in the US read.
