Oof. I‘ve read 10/100 and that‘s being generous by assuming I read certain children‘s books. OTOH I‘ve probably bailed on at least 10 too. 🤣

Here are some I finished and enjoyed. #TLT
1. The Picture of Dorian Gray
2. The Color Purple
3. The Little Prince

1. Kili the unexpected kitten joined us in late August 2012. He was a tiny and scared little boy of indeterminate color, and he grew into a fluffy black cat who likes to sleep, eat, and watch the birds out the window.
2. Yes to both.
3. Tagged book is about a remarkable black cat.

1. Yes, I still carry cash, but not $3000 in cash. IYKYK
2. Some of the characters in this book are wealthy. Some characters are not. Some characters want the world to THINK they are wealthy. Therein lies a great deal of the conflict. #two4tuesday

My mood is a roller coaster! 🎢

The current regime is a joke. But it‘s not the least bit funny. Except sometimes it is.

It‘s Spring! Time of renewal and new hope! Except…see above.

So…resist, grieve, carry on, and live another day.

Congratulations @dabbe on your achievement! You are one of the reasons I love Litsy!

The Nationals were snowed out (!) in Colorado on Friday, so they‘re playing tonight. It‘s a good backdrop for #hyggehourreadathon as I read this moody mystery set in North Wales. It‘s for book club tomorrow, so I need to make some progress! I agree with some Littens about maybe too much side story, but I‘m intrigued by the setting. This might lead to a new series being added to my repertoire.

Oklahoma Rescue | Jon Hansen

It‘s hard to believe the Oklahoma City bombing took place thirty years ago. My mother lived just outside OKC for many years and was there in 1995. One of her neighbors was on his way to the Social Security office but turned around when he realized he‘d left his card at home. That probably saved his life that day.

The author was a recent guest on the Daily Beans podcast and discussed this book about “legal” immigration, based in part on his own experience. It‘s funny and informative, subtly and not so subtly critiquing the current situation. If nothing else, it‘s abundantly clear that there‘s no “easy” way to immigrate to the US.

As part of the episode‘s “good trouble” segment, she suggested buying several copies and leaving some in LFLs, so I bought five.

Susanita It‘s expensive, time-consuming, convoluted, and sometimes arbitrary. In other words, it‘s easy to tell prospective immigrants that they should just do it the “right” way…but not very realistic (and certainly not helpful). 2w

I have to go somewhere later today and don‘t think I‘ll finish anything else, so I‘m calling it for March. My reading pace slowed down a bit for various reasons.
-I couldn‘t find an #authoramonth book I liked
-Two book club selections that were a little long and I couldn‘t get into them until about midway through
-Getting ready for tax return prep
-The world in general 🔥

Nevertheless, I tore through SOTR and loved it.

1. I feel okay today. Exercise class was fun, and we got some much needed rain.
2. Yes. It‘s how I stay in touch with some of my friends and get some (but not all) of my news. On the other hand, it can also be frivolous at best and mean spirited. I make a point not to argue with strangers, as tempting as it may be.
3. When I shut it down a couple hours before bedtime (except for Litsy of course), I‘ve found that helps.
