Bookwormjillk I don‘t know if she‘s more of a nature writer or a travel writer but I always enjoy Sarah Wheeler. 2h

AllDebooks It's always Robert Macfarlane for ne, particularly

Mountains of the Mind: Adventures in Reaching the Summit

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk I've not read any, but I like the look of this one.

Anyone have any tips on sorting an eczema flareup? The only plus side is I get to do bandage wraps and look like a Scooby Doo villan. The best bit is chasing the kids (teens) round the house for a hug, shouting ,'But I'm your Mummy.'

Hours of fun 🤣🤣🤣

Smrloomis Sorry to hear about the eczema. Our household has used Cerave and Eucerin creams; both worked well if you can get them easily where you are! 1d

Lesliereadsalot Have had eczema my entire life. Can you get a tube of Mometasone Furoate Cream, .1% from your doctor? This stuff is amazing, clears up itching and rash immediately. And it lasts forever, have had this same tube for years! (edited) 1d

AnnCrystal My brother had eczema, our mom applied medicine during the daytime and loosely wrapped cotton crepe bandage (allow fresh air time). For nighttime, she had my brother wear loosely fitted socks or mittens so he could not scratch.

I have plaque psoriasis, there was Burt's Bees Baby 100% Natural ointment that worked wonders, but these days I use Alba Botanica herbal healing. It takes longer 2 work, yet not oily messy, therefore more practical.

🙏💝. (edited) 1d

willaful Having a bad one too. Nothing seems to help anymore. 😭 Just getting a new prescription for something called Pimecromilus but my pharmacy is out of stock. 1d

Birdsong28 Loratadine tablets. It's the base and ingredient in the fancy tablets such as Benadryl which stops the itching and you can pick up six months supply for cheap on Amazon. It always helps me 📚📖 1d

dabbe Oh, I feel your pain! I've had it in my ears for over 30 years now. Nothing seems to work anymore--even the steroid ointment prescribed by the dermatologist. Thanks for sharing--because I see some new remedies posted here that I'm going to give a try! Hope one of these works for you, too! 🩶🖤🩶 1d

quietlycuriouskate Have you tried Aveeno Dermexa (you can find it in Boots and Tesco's). The balm, especially, has been a godsend for flare-ups. I use the ordinary Aveeno for maintenance: my GP recommended this years ago when she was concerned about the long-term use of hydrocortisone cream and the like. 1d

Cuilin Only prescribed meds that have horrible side effects. But for light relief on top of meds La Roche-Posay Double Repair moisturizer. It may not fix it, but it makes it feel good for a bit. 22h

Larkken When I get patches in the winter i spot treat with the day crème from no 7 - oddly it seems to work v well. Its also seemed to help to over hydrate and to use the Dickinsons witch hazel cleansing cloths. But maybe all my little things wouldn‘t help on a large scale? Sorry you have to deal with it 17h

AllDebooks @Smrloomis @Lesliereadsalot @AnnCrystal @willaful @Birdsong28 @dabbe @quietlycuriouskate @Cuilin @Larkken Thank you so much for all your kind suggestions. Lots to try. 🤞 5h

I could never get into audiobooks when younger. What a young fool I was. 😅
Obviously, with age comes wisdom, as I have now tripled my reading time and discovered some amazing productions. Andy Serkis narrating The Hobbit was perfection.

The Ghost Bride | Yangsze Choo

pick

Do you remember me raving about The Fox Wife last month? I was seeking out Yangsze Choo's books, and this is even better. Only with ghosts instead of foxes.
It's set in 1890s Malaya, it's heavy on folklore and spirit culture, but this adds to the tension of the story as Li Lan navigates adulthood and her future prospects.

Well, this was a terrifying read for my sociopolitical theme. Kashmir Hill is a NYT journalist investigating Clearview AI. This facial recognition platform claims a 98.6% accuracy rate, with over 50 billion facial profiles, harvested from all public websites.

Bookwormjillk Hello! I just got back from dropping off my son on this snowy Saturday morning. Roads were actually in good shape which was unexpected for this city. My week was fine- work and weather added stress but nothing like others are dealing with. I‘m reading and loving

Mina's Matchbox

AllDebooks It's so cold here in the UK. I'm staying indoors to avoid an asthma flareup. The upside is how pretty the hoar frost looked this morning. I've just started #NaturaLitsy buddyread ❄️💙❄️

What the Wild Sea Can Be: The Future of the World�s Ocean

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk It's so strange getting back into normal routines. Glad you had a safe journey. I hate driving in snow and ice. I have MM on Kindle. I'll have to bump it up the tbr pile. 6d

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Work has been hectic this week, but it's a good hectic. I'm a Sales Director for 13 hotels, so it is great that they have new accounts for me to prospect & set up on the dead of winter. I did have to wear two pairs of pants most of the week due to the below freezing temps. Not much physical reading was done, but I'm nearly finished with the tagged on audio. I haven't read it since I was a kid, so it's been good to revisit. I forgot most of it.

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl

TheBookHippie Snow dumped over night lake effect snow and dropping temps for the 10 day forecast… so winter is here. Exams are next week and every year we get snow days in this week messes with teachers and students, we‘ve asked to do it before holidays to no avail… Mr BookHippie came home from work yesterday sick so avoid him! My son got into Honors College at the university he was early admission to, so exciting. I read the new Danielle Steel last night⬇️ 6d

TheBookHippie No way my grandma would have ever dreamed she‘d still be writing or putting out so many books. This one was like a piece of candy. 😂 I miss gossiping about the characters with her! Book 216 read ✔️ reading this today & Happy Saturday!

The Rose Hotel: A Memoir of Secrets, Loss, and Love From Iran to America

TheBookHippie Daughter is doing well and even driving! ♥️ 6d

Bookwormjillk @TheBookHippie great news about son & daughter. My son‘s school moved finals before break for that reason! Overall it‘s a good idea but due to scheduling and a storm right after break he ended up not having classes for almost a month and that will be a rude awakening this week 😂 6d

Bookwormjillk @AllDebooks I ended up finishing. I loved it. Stay warm! 6d

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk 😂 yah the reentry is rough!!! 6d

AllDebooks @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Wow, 12 hotels is a handful. They should keep you busy and out of trouble! I haven't read Anne Frank since my teens. Way, way back in the last century. 6d

DebinHawaii Spending my Saturday morning at the coffee shop before running errands—so nothing unusual. It was a long work week. 😬 Trying to turn it off for the weekend & do some self-care. 6d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie Congratulations to your son, well done. 👏 I'm so glad your daughter is on the mend and getting about now. I haven't read any Danielle Steel since my teens. I used to gossip with my gran too. They were her books! I miss that so much. 🥹 I had no idea she was still publishing. 6d

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk Yikes, he's gonna be in for a shock after a whole month free of classes. 6d

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks FOUR BOOKS A YEAR. 🤯🫠🤣 6d

AllDebooks @DebinHawaii I love that you are concentraring on yourself after a busy week. A bit of pampering never goes amiss. X 6d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie wait, what!!! I didn't even know she was still with us. She's taking over from Barbara Cartland. 👵✒️📚📚📚 6d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie Idk why, but I thought she was a lot older. 🤔 6d

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks she‘s 77. 6d

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks I‘ve read every single one 😅😆 with my grandma until 2009 she died at 98. I‘ve been reading them in her honor since. 6d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie ❤️🥹❤️ 6d

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @AllDebooks 12 hotels does keep me busy, but out of trouble? 🙄 Let's say sometimes! 🤣 My guy is going out with his buddies for some late evening pickleball, so I'm excited to have some reading time later. 🕯☕️🐶🛋📚 @TheBookHippie That's great news about both of your children! Perhaps I should pick up a Danielle Steel book for both #192025 and the #52Books challenge. One prompt is for an author who publishes more than 1 book a year. 6d

TheBookHippie @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick PURE SACCHARINE! You can read it in about an hour or two 😂💕 6d

TheBookHippie @kspenmoll we hover at freezing… we should be -10. It‘s unsettling. 3w

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie @kspenmoll @JenReadsAlot so pleased you enjoyed it. I don't think many people realise how crucial snow is to our environment and landscapes or the consequences of its loss. 💙❄️💙 3w

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie @Librarybelle lol, don't stress. It has been a busy month 😅 3w

kspenmoll I am not far at all in the book- 3w

AllDebooks I finished it last night on audiobook. I loved it, gonna get a physical copy. Wade has focused on 5 extraordinary women. I knew VW and Dorothy L Sayers but have never come across HD, Jane Harrison, or Eileen Power before. I'm intrigued enough to look up Harrison's and Power's work. 3w

kspenmoll I read HD. Want to continue! 3w

AnishaInkspill Writing – overall enjoyable but I thought at times the biographical details got in the way of how extraordinary these women were in not being deterred in what they wanted to achieve.

5 women – I knew Virginia Woold the best, & the bare minimum of Dorothy L Sayers and HD, so it was good to know > about them. I had not heard of Jane Harrison and Eileen Power before reading this book.

fav&their works – all, I‘d especially seek out their nonfiction. 3w

AllDebooks @kspenmoll ❤️ 3w

AllDebooks @AnishaInkspill yes, the biographical details did detract attention from their ambition, accomplishments, and dreams, which taken into context of the time period were worthy of greater emphasis. 3w

Librarybelle How can this be the last weekend of 2024??? After cleaning this morning, I plan to read—so many books to finish by the end of the year! This has been a good holiday, working a little bit and doing a lot of reading. Wishing everyone a good new year! 3w

Cupcake12 Had a nice quiet Christmas. I‘ve already been back to work but today I‘m at home catching up on Xmas tv, cuddled up with my fur babies. I have some book store vouchers so I‘m looking at purchasing new books too. Xx 3w

AllDebooks @Librarybelle It's crazy how quick it's gone? My theory is that if you're involved in the academic year, time flies by. I'm hoping time slows down once my beasties are all finished with school and college. I'm planning on much the same as you in the run-up to new year. Enjoy your reading xx 3w

TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! 3w

tpixie @AllDebooks TODAY is our family Christmas- all 4 kids are here with 6 grandkids & a friend. Sadly, my son-in-law just had knee surgery & he tried to wean off his meds too fast & he‘s been in pain so decided to stay at his mother‘s house a little longer instead of being part of our craziness these last couple days.- which is a good decision, but we miss him. Our big dinner is tomorrow! No reading except in the middle of the night! 😝 Wild but fun 3w

kspenmoll I am so happy- a nice long break from work/ HS-I don‘t go back until 1/2/25. This has been a leisurely time. Today we are having freezing rain so I plan to read! 3w

Bookwormjillk I‘m in agreement with all of you that it‘s crazy how fast this year went. We still have house guests until the 1st so not a lot of reading time here. It is nice to see everyone but the social batteries of this family of introverts are draining quickly. Hoping to encourage the guests to take an outing today 😂 3w

Bookwormjillk @tpixie Enjoy! 3w

Librarybelle Good luck with your reading too, @AllDebooks ! 3w

TheBookHippie Freezing rain and multiple barometric pressure shifts here -it‘s like a rollercoaster! Yikes.

I've selected a few for different ages 📚📚📚

Preschool - Where the wild things are or anything by Dr Seuss
6-12 yrs - The hobbit and Narnia chronicles
Teens - I discovered the classics, favourites being Dickens, Austen, and the Brontes.
Always and to this day - fairytales

#5JoysFriday

This year has been awful for so many reasons. But, focusing on the joys 😊
1) Milo
2) Maisie
3) Freddie
4) Arthur
5) The ability to find strength and joy to be there for them, always.

This is an older photo taken in 2017. The beasties made me a photo album full of their baby and childhood pics. It was a wonderful gift, reminiscing on all our wonderful adventures.

Anyone else losing track of the days in this 'month' between Christmas and New Year?
I've only just realised it's Friday! 😅

This week seems fitting for a bit of nostalgia and a return to our childhood. So, embrace your inner child and share your childhood favourite book(s). 💙🧒📚👧💙
