#NotBookRelated #BeautyBreak perhaps??? @ImperfectCJ
It‘s a candy day!! Completed @dabbe ‘s survey and then my husband came in with this haul. Coincidence? There‘s a European food store near where he works. Hopefully this will last a bit. 🤞

I can‘t stop listening to True Believer since Hayley Williams performance on the Tonight Show. I keep watching it and took a deep dive, analysing the lyrics. It was powerful!!!

#WeirdWordsWednesday @CBee
I know this is a beautiful word, but I laughed when I saw it because when you learn Irish, one of the first things you learn is I am hungry, sad, tired etc Ta mé tuirseach. I just think it‘s funny that I was telling the world I had a soul deep fatigue at the age of five!! Maybe that‘s why the Irish are known for their melancholy. Lol

This is a great introduction to the Salem Witch Trials. It would make for some really good discussions in sixth grade and possibly some parallels to the present would be made unfortunately.

I‘m predicting more success for myself with this prompt as I DNF‘d a few this year!!🤦♀️ I plan on starting with the Berlin Letters recommended by @kspenmoll I also have two Graham Greene novels to try. What are you reading?

Strolled a Forest Canopy Walk with this hawk (Harris) yesterday in Vermont. It was just what I needed. Nature truly is the antidote to anguish.

“You can try all you like you won‘t go in, I‘m not the daughter of a dog, I‘m the daughter of a wolf. There are six of you, what‘s that to me? You‘re men. Well, I‘m a woman. I‘m not afraid of you, not one bit”. Eponine- Les Miserable.

Chapter 1
So many emotions, “Regrets are the natural property of grey hairs” says a character in another current read. I don‘t see regrets as much as methods of survival. I marked many passages, “bad wolf” stood out to me. The decal is on my car. Most whovians will recognize this. Rose stared into the heart of the TARDIS and absorbed the power of the time vortex, she becomes God like, omnipotent, she saves 🔽
@Ruthiella It‘s amazing what a little closer reading will do, I must‘ve missed this on previous reads or else I was just too sympathetic to Charles.
There‘s a parenting lesson in this somewhere. lol #hashtagBrigade @BarkingMadRead
#ThreeListThursdays #TLT @dabbe
I was convinced Jumanji would be on the list. I looked it up to see if it was a fall movie and no apparently it‘s a winter movie - set in a jungle. Now I‘m more confused. I live in the town, where it was filmed, and I do not live in the jungle 🤔 Anyway here are my top 3 from the list.
#WDNCW @dabbe
We do not care that the positive results of the medication mean it is due to inflammation, we still want all the testing done, including genetic testing because I deserve all the healthcare. And it‘s possible for the body to have more than one thing going on. (Luckily I have the best rheumatologist who agrees) take that 🦵 insurance!! 🖕
#HashtagBrigade @BarkingMadRead
I had a regular paperback book and then I found this little gem in an antique store in Providence RI. This is one of my all-time favorite novels so I‘m excited to read it with the #HashtagBrigade. Do we start today or tomorrow?

“To defy power, which seems omnipotent”
“To Hope till Hope creates …” I read both these lines and changed my mind about posting something seasonal.

“Monsieur complains?”
“About you!” said the pedestrian.
“The bureau is closed,” said Gavroche. “I‘m receiving no more complaints.”
I think I‘m a chapter behind, but this chapter 1 of book 6 is fabulous !!! ❤️Gavroche

Introduction
“My name is Cecilia, and I live on Svalbard, an island close to the north Pole.”
Chapter 1
“Each year in late October, the sun says goodbye for the final time, plunging Svalbard into a state of uninterrupted darkness.”

Hopkins wrote this sonnet in September 1877 whilst in the Vale of Clywd in Wales, after a day of fishing in the Elwy.
@dabbe I pulled out my Wordsworth collection yesterday after reading your post. Gosh I love Wordsworth 🧡 So I‘m joining in on #APoemADay

pickThe Age of Innocence is a wonderful novel. Yes, the characters are infuriating as they navigate the social constraints that they themselves create and willingly participate in. I love a novel of manners especially when the writer is witty. Wharton is masterful, laconic, controlled, and sardonic with a touch of empathy. Perfect 👌 Thanks #HashtagBrigade for the journey and our own witty hashtager @BarkingMadRead

We do not care that socks and sandals do not go together and my hair was pulled high upon my head rather like a rats nest. It was dusk and I wanted to see the deer in my neighborhood. The curtain twitchers can deal with it!!

I got so lost in Little Dorrit that I decided to be a touch more academic and do some character research. I found this little gem on course hero!!!
