Think about the words of one who suffered much. Remember the #impact of your actions on others as you go #vote! #quotstnov18 @TK-421

GingerAntics I'm amazed at the number of people who vote against their OWN best interest. Forget about thinking of others. 6y
Lcsmcat Just noticed that I‘m ahead of myself! Oh well, I‘ll do today‘s prompt tomorrow. 6y

"I said that our Revolution was magnificent and just; that only its 1929 distortion was terrible. He looked at me regretfully, compressing his nervous lips."

Spent the afternoon on a date with myself drinking delicious local beer and reading one of my all-time favourite Gulag histories.
I. Love. This. Book. #booksandbeer

My sweet #booknerdproblems When the Kindle is full - what do you do? Buy a new one? 🤔

#photoadaynov16

RealLifeReading Wow!! I guess I don't really have that problem as I tend to read library ebooks so they get deleted when I'm done! 695! 7y
Simona @RealLifeReading I don't have anything to say in my defense 🙄 but I can find a few reasons 😂 7y
Decayy @Simona which kindle do you recommend? I'm eyeing Paperwhite 3 because my old Fire is giving up with the charging slot and I'm intrigued by Kobo Aura H2O. Which one do I choose? 7y

Celeste57 I have a Paperwhite and love it! And of storage is an issue for you, I currently have over 730 of my 2,700 kindle books downloaded on it, and it holds a charge like a champ. ;-) 7y
Faibka Oh wow! I also have a Paperwhite but I still buy more physical books 😬 running out of space 7y
Simona @Decayy I'm using Paperwhite and it's the best but I don't have experience with the others, so I can't advise you. 7y
Simona @Celeste57 @Faibka Yes, Paperwhite rules ? and yes I still buy "real" books when I like it enough that I want it on my shelves. 7y
britt_brooke @Decayy I have a Paperwhite and it's excellent. No frills, just small, lightweight, great battery life. 7y

If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?

LilMamaMastro Relevant! 8y
Nebklvr So true 8y
Louise Wow, that's powerful! Haven't read this book in years. Perhaps it's time to revisit it one of these days! 8y
Bklover Remember this from years (YEARS) ago. Will have to look at it again. 8y
