Duck is 17. He will never be 18. Tomorrow is his birthday. It will never be tomorrow. Time stopped at 1:17 p.m. on a beautiful Thursday afternoon in Washington, DC. Duck is the only person moving in a world where all other living beings have been frozen into statues in an endless diorama. Duck was already in limbo, having lost his mother to cancer and his father to mental illness. Now, faced with the unimaginable, he approaches his dilemma with the eye of an anthropologist and the heart of a teenager trying to do the right thing under the strangest of circumstances. Ultimately, he realizes that while he doesn't understand the boundaries between friendship and love, that uncertain territory may be the key to restarting the world.

1 Read Vanity Fair. Read Lilac Girls for book group. #losersclub read- Firestarter. And whatever else I feel like reading!
2 Nope! I journal. Bullet journal sometimes. Write to #jb buddies.
3 Putting up the Christmas tree 🎄
4. Happy November everyone!

BookwormDownUnder Ok, what‘s #jb? I‘m new here and can‘t figure it out. Snail mail, I guess? Postcards? Love what I‘m seeing! 6y
wanderinglynn Thanks for playing! ☺️🧡 6y
Bklover JB is a group that sends cards and notes by snail mail. That particular group is closed for new members but there are quite a few people in Litsy that have #penpals. If you make a post that you are looking for a pen pal you can probably find others looking for the same. Also, there are always new things popping up in your feed. Follow LOTS of people. Litsy is an amazing place and has become a VERY important part of my life!❤️❤️❤️. @ReadingDownUnder (edited) 6y

1. Librarian
2. lifeguard
3. best is probably my current job, worst was either my first lifeguarding job (it was a beach at a private campground and horribly run) or a job at a Deli in a gas station when I was 17
4. Probably a librarian, but one with full time normal hours, lol. Ideally I‘d like to work full time in ILL. #hellothursday

jillannjohn I‘ve always wanted to be a lifeguard. 🏊‍♀️ 6y
MelissaSue81 @jillannjohn aside from that first place I worked, it was a pretty fun job. After that I worked for my town rec dept and mostly taught swim lessons and had to lifeguard at a wading pool.. so it was pretty easy. And I met my husband there! 6y
jillannjohn That may have been one of the reasons I wanted to lifeguard! 😂😂 6y

1. No - everything that has happened to me good and bad has made me who I am. If I changed the bad stuff I wouldn‘t be the same person. 2. Yes. 3. Nope. 4. Yes all the time! 🙈 #hellothursday @wanderinglynn

1. Nope. I‘ve had a weird month, and I have an extremely short attention span lately and NO focus. So it‘s probably good in not involved in anything like that right no because I‘m sure I‘d just bail. 😐

2. I like my name. 🤷🏻‍♀️

3. Current and all time: Brown Eyed Girl, by Van Morrison. 🎶

TricksyTails 1 Me too. Zero focus. 6y
GypsyKat @TricksyTails At this point I‘m blaming seasonal depression because it‘s still not Spring yet. 😭❄️❄️❄️ 6y
GarthRanzz I love that Van Morrison song. Thanks for participating Kat! 6y

1. Yes! Reading Emma for the #janeaustenreadalong. 📖
2. I actually did when I got married. I didn‘t go all Princess Consuela Banana Hammock, but I dropped my middle name altogether (it was awful!), made my maiden name my new middle name, and took my husband‘s last name. I‘d change my first name in a heartbeat, but I‘d have to give it a lot of thought! 🙋🏻‍♀️
3. No Roots by Alice Merton & No Excuses by Meghan Trainor. 🎶
#trivialthursday

julesG Thanks for reminding me of that particular episode. 😁😁 6y
OriginalCyn620 You‘re welcome, @julesG! 😜 6y

robinb Number 3...been there, done that! 🤷🏻‍♀️😂😂 6y
Bklover Number 3 - I will think of you with great sympathy the day before- prep day is just so much fun!!! 6y
alisiakae @robinb @Bklover 😂😂😂 He gets his own bathroom the day before. 😃💩 I just hope everything is okay, this isn‘t a regularly scheduled one, he‘s been having some issues. (He‘s also annoyed he can‘t do it at his own practice, but he‘s the only general surgeon in the group that regularly does colonoscopies). 6y
robinb @4thhouseontheleft Sending best wishes that everything turns out OK. 👍 6y

Thanks for the tag @GarthRanzz and I think #trivialthursday is a fantastic idea ❤️

1. One of Us is Lying - finished it this week and really enjoyed it
2. All the Ugly and Wonderful Things
3. I read a lot of Fear Street as a kid so probably never go check to see what the scary noise was and always lock your doors!
4. @Ashley85 @HOTPock3tt @JenettaRea

JenlovesJT47 One Of Us Is Lying is my next TBR from the library. Can't wait! Been on hold since December. Glad you liked it! 6y
JoScho @JenlovesJT47 it is an entertaining read. I am sure you will enjoy it! 6y
GarthRanzz Thank you for participating Jo. I really appreciate it. And I‘m going to have to check out One Of Us Is Lying. I‘m seeing it everywhere. 6y
JoScho @GarthRanzz of course! I hope you like One of Us is Lying 😊 6y
