The Coldest Night

pick

Very profound. I will not forget Henry Childs any time soon. He enlists in the Marine Corps after being beaten. He survives the battle of the Chosin Reservoir during the beginning days of the Korean War. And fights the violence that war leaves inside him when he returns home. I had to go to Wikipedia to learn more about the battle. Olmstead writes in the same vein as Cormac McCarthy and I will read more of his works.

I know many Littens are dealing with some extremely cold temps this week. I hope you stay warm and dry, and get a lot of reading done while curling up in a blanket inside! 📚 ☕️ 🧥 🔥

I haven't posted on here for awhile, it's been a rough month, I just haven't gotten much reading done. Hopefully next month will be a bit better.

If any of my fellow littens like me are experiencing extreme cold (feels -64F here), I hope you're all safe & cozy inside with a good book to keep you company.

Bry Wow, I guess I should be thankful for my -20 C! 😧⛄️💨❄️ 5y

KrystleTheBookSlayer @Bry I would gladly switch with you 😂 I guess tomorrow it's supposed to be even worse than today...it's going to be a tough week. 5y

CouronneDhiver I vote that the Arctic takes it weather back 🙋🏽‍♀️ 5y

KrystleTheBookSlayer @CouronneDhiver agreed! I actually ended up wearing a sweatshirt and two winter coats out today 😳 5y

CouronneDhiver Yep! I wore a tank top, sweater, vest and a coat. Still sitting here with my tuque on... inside the house 🙃 @KrystleTheBookSlayer 5y

Went on a very chilly (-10 F) hike through a beautiful marsh, enjoyed cookies and hot chocolate, and now off to bed to get some quality reading time in! 💜

Freespirit I can‘t even imagine what -10F feels like. Stay warm😊 5y
