so-so

Impressive insistence, but I‘m afraid I don‘t quite get the message. Memoirish essays on language & selfhood (NOT translation). 2024

21 “Oh, how many times in this interminable lifetime have I scarred over my love for you only to remember the trees.”

29 “The ferryman is never the hero. He is always heartless. If your family cannot pay, you cannot pass. Reviled by both sides, his only purpose […] is to change people from one side to the other.”

I seriously had so much fun shopping for you and am so happy you loved it all! One last question 😂😂Do you know how to knit or crochet already? That was my only worry.

Now the books! This is a great mix that reflects so many of my interests: psychological suspense, creepy stuff, living in the South, historical fiction (I LOVE Jill Lepore, but hadn't heard of this), and the only sci fi book I've ever loved. Thank you thank you thank you @tpixie! You are amazing! And thanks to @BookishMarginalia for organizing and everyone for their fun reveal pics all day! #summersantagoespostal #summersolsticebookexchange

I'm going to post in two parts because there's so much stuff! You have spoiled me so much @tpixie! You got me a sexy librarian candle!!!! I yelled "raccoon friends!!!" when I opened the book sleeve! You also didn't get me anything with cats which is awesome because I don't like them but I forgot to say that in my questionnaire! These are all so spot on!

tpixie I had a hard time finding a book sleeve. Better one came out after I bought this. Just look at it with blurred eyes and see the pretty blue with a swirling pattern ( not a raccoon) ! 💙💙💙💙💙 8y

ferskner @tpixie But I LOVE the raccoons! I thought it was adorable and it will make me laugh every time I use it. Right now it's protecting my pristine paperback copy of My Cousin Rachel from getting frayed in my bag. 8y

tpixie @ferskner perfect! Enjoy!! 8y

Not about the book...

(Cont.)

I 💞💞💞 the Dobby socks! I can hardly wait to wear them, although it probably won't be cold enough for a while. @Lwiesman - Lisa - the Keep Calm bookmark made me laugh after the problems I caused by not letting you know I got The Box. How did you know? So grateful for everything, absolutely everything.

Litten friends, read on!

@BookishMarginalia - again, thank YOU!

Lwiesman So glad you enjoyed everything! 8y

Interesting...again, not about this book, although there are three books with this title! Who knew?

The wealth of reading delights that were revealed as I ripped away the paper. I am so thrilled with everything, @Lwiesman! The magnet is already on the fridge, the bookmarks are in use in my current reads, and I will use the reading journal for the 2018 Litsy Reading Challenge. I am going to gift it to my book club, too.
