Speaking of Paul Revere's house... This guy was in front of me in the entry queue.

For the 250th anniversary of Lexington and Concord today. I bought this little book after visiting his home in Boston last summer.

I could have become a mass murderer after I hacked my governor module, but then I realized I could access the combined feed of entertainment channels carried on the company satellites.

The Wheel Spins aka The Lady Vanishes - this was a lot of fun! I've never seen the movie but would like to check it out. The MC wasn't very likeable but it's impossible not to sympathize with her distress. I liked how the overheard conversation between Hare and the professor, about the effectiveness of juries and reliability of witnesses, set a theme for how the journey would play out.

@DebinHawaii It's always wonderful to get a package from you! You're so thoughtful and send beautiful and fun things. I was actually eyeing these notebooks at the bookstore a couple of days ago! Many thanks and best wishes to you for a happy Thanksgiving! 🧡🤎🧡

Have not been a great reader the past week... Busy+not feeling well = Netflix binge. I really enjoyed this adaptation.

Visited this museum with my parents in June; we loved it! Photo is from their Instagram from a new exhibit, "Power of the People: Art and Democracy."

2. Exercised three days this week.
3. Drinks and apps with friends last night was a needed comfort in these difficult days.
4. I got a raise and a bonus.

Brianna from the Outlander series is one of my favorites. There is a dearth of fan art that is not based on the tv actress. This is by Mograinne on DeviantArt.

This is shocking https://lithub.com/have-you-purchased-a-weirdly-low-quality-paperback-book-latel...

I'm pretty sure the only print on demand I've acquired recently was an out-of-print book. The idea of this becoming routine with new books from traditional publishers is troubling.

My office is doing a book drive for kids. These are the middle grade titles I chose from their wish list. They all look so good!
