Saturday Night

Sometimes you find a book at the used bookstore and want to start it right away! This book has a copyright of 1990, and I think it‘s Orlean‘s debut. It should be very nostalgic to read about what people were doing on Saturday nights in the late 80s. I‘m sure the book would be really different now. There‘s a polka dance chapter but no TikTok dances! 🙃

Cinfhen Sounds great 😊 I love anything 80‘s related 1y

BarbaraBB That sounds real nice. I remember my Saturday nights in the 80s! 1y

Scochrane26 I‘m going to guess cruising was an activity. 1y

Megabooks @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB yes! So far I‘m finding a lot relatable to my 90s high school and college years, including a chapter on cruising @Scochrane26 that is set in a nearby Indiana town! 1y

Cinfhen Cruising!!!! That brings back wayyyyy to many memories @Scochrane26 😂😂😂 1y

Bklover I remember cruising in the 70‘s! 😉😅 1y

Megabooks @Bklover I don‘t know who can afford to do it now! I burned up that under $1/gal gas in high school! 1y

Bklover No kidding! I seem to remember listening to a lot of Bad Company and “cruising the strip” for hours. And drinking, of course. 1y

Hubby is doing overtime (extra holiday spends 😊💶) and I'm staying in after being out last night. Wine and my book 🍷📚
Nearly halfway through it already and I'm really enjoying it, I'm not liking Eric so far though 😏

Yup, spending my Saturday night doing my favorite activity!!! 📚📚📚📚

Riveted_Reader_Melissa YES! Stop trying to give me things for me to do and just leave me alone to read! 6y

cocomass Meeeeeee 🙋🏽‍♀️ 6y

Rissa1 YES!! 6y

JacqMac Yes! And stop putting on tv shows that you think will distract me, because they probably will. And I just want to read. 6y

LisaJo This is so true. On Friday nights I need to put a recording on my phone that says no I‘m not going out I‘m reading. And then I need to add it‘s OK. 6y

Lreads @LisaJo I wanted to change the recording on our answering machine to say, “I‘m not answering the phone right now because I‘m reading. Leave your name and number.” My husband said that was rude. 😝 6y

ofclumsywords Yes!!! I‘ve had to explain to family members more than once that wanting to be alone to read or being an introvert is not a bad thing! (edited) 6y

rajithr Boy! We are a tribe 😎 6y

huntersmom1977 Yes!! I also need peace and quiet but my son loves to talk to his gf and while he‘s gaming at a high pitch. It sets off my misophonia. Lol teenagers 🙄 6y

Kaye Thank you @LeslieO .That job does sound fun, especially reading to the kids.. it‘d also be a privilege to possibly be the one who gets a kid interested in books that might not have that backup system at home. Great that your husband cooks, too ! 7y
