LauraBeth That's our cover girl! 😍😍 Twine 😂 7y
MicheleinPhilly @saresmoore @LauraBeth That's our sign/logo. I'm in. When do we open? 7y
AlaMich Puppy!!!🐶❤️ 7y
DogMomIrene 💚🐶💚 7y
LeahBergen Yes!! Pickles and Twine!! 💗💗 7y
LauraBeth Oh - and we'll have books 😀 @MicheleinPhilly and @saresmoore 7y
MicheleinPhilly @LauraBeth @saresmoore Perfect! Now which of us has to move? 😉 7y
MicheleinPhilly @LauraBeth @saresmoore Never mind! I saw that we're doing this in Brooklyn so I can commute until we become gazillionaires. Then I'll move into the Library Hotel. 7y
saresmoore @MicheleinPhilly Well now, that's a brilliant plan! 7y
LauraBeth @saresmoore, @micheleinphilly I'll keep the GA branch open so we can say we use real GA peaches in the Twine. Plus, I can keep the bee hives and goats for something artisanal 😀 7y
MicheleinPhilly @LauraBeth Yeah, I'm not doing anything with bees. You can be the beekeeper. 🐝 7y
saresmoore @MicheleinPhilly @LauraBeth Hahaha! I don't mind bees, but goats and their evil eyes give me the heebeejeebees! I do think fresh goat cheese and honey would pair great with our Twine. 👌 7y
MicheleinPhilly @saresmoore But baby goats! I have always been terrified of bees. I blame the movie My Girl. I've only ever been stung once in my life and I think I was like 30 when it happened. 🙈 7y
saresmoore @MicheleinPhilly Oh my gosh, My Girl! That movie wrecked me. My brother is allergic to bees, so I've played sting martyr many times in my life. I don't even swell! 7y
MicheleinPhilly @saresmoore One of my sisters is SUPER allergic. I think I'm mildly allergic as the spot was itchy for a few days. I'm still traumatized by My Girl. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 7y
LauraBeth @micheleinphilly and @saresmoore In full disclosure, I'll probably just put pajamas on the baby goats and will need to be reminded that I'm supposed to make cheese 7y
MaleficentBookDragon Soooooooo cute!!! 🐶 7y

Megabooks Thank you @BookishFeminist !!! I'm honored! 😊 I'd have to say @ramyasbookshelf @Notafraidofwords @LitHousewife @Jenshootsweddings and @carol but really I love everyone I follow!! So many adds to (and removals from) my TBR because of y'all. ❤️📚 Litsy is the best! 8y

Chessa Me too!!! I know you're getting busy hosting other book clubs, but feminist SF book club still sounds rad! I wonder if we could make it work quarterly, rather than monthly? Or is that too spaced out? 8y

BookishFeminist @OSChamberlain Isn't it! I love @steverogers idea so I wanted to share the love. Litsy is just the best! Glad you're finding so many new people to follow! People have posted more this is out of control in the best way possible 😂😭😂 8y

BookishFeminist @JPeterson ❤️❤️ 8y
BookishFeminist @Chessa It does still sound so rad & I would still LOVE to do it! Especially with a co-host. We shall chat. 😊 I think bi-monthly might work, especially since sci fi & fantasy can be dense on world building! 8y
BookishFeminist @Ebooksandcooks YES! ✨ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED✨ Ain't nobody got time for Facebook when there's so much love here! 8y
Chessa Excellent point! Bi-monthly would be great. :D 8y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BookishFeminist & @Chessa Let me know what you decide, sounds like a great book club to me! 8y
BookishFeminist @Gezemice @Chessa I like this idea! One of these days we will get to it I swear! My life has been nuts lately but we will MAKE IT HAPPEN bc I always need more book clubs and feminist sci fi & fantasy in my life 💜💜 8y
