When I was a junior in high school, my English teacher told us about her escape from Budapest during the 1956 revolution, and how she swam to freedom across the Danube River with a backpack that contained only a change of clothes and a copy of “Hamlet.” (You try explaining that you don‘t care for Shakespeare after that story…) She was brilliant and terrifying and she scared the crap out of me. And she pushed me to become a better writer … ⬇️

Mean Spirit was a #bookspin pick on another year too. The Crossing is also a #husbandpick that I should have read last year. 😂
For Pope Leo The Fourteenth

Update Note: The Full Armor Of God is a spiritual metaphor from the Bible. I know using metaphors in Haiku is breaking the rules...👀📜✍️...

This is Penny, my silly girl. She‘s laying in a dog bed. 😂
Second favorite part of AI's explanation of Fantasy. More of what I expected from an AI generated definition about Fantasy.
“In essence, fantasy is a genre that allows us to explore the possibilities beyond our everyday reality, offering a space for creativity, imagination, and escapism.“ -AI

Curious, today I asked AI to explain Fantasy to me?
This is my favorite part of AI's explanation...
“Fantasy is not a mere escape from reality but a way to understand it, to find truth in the human imagination, and to see the world through a different lens.“ -AI

1- May has arrived 💝.
2- I was tending a rose bud, who became stuck in a wood gap. As I freed the bud, the Winds came in a breeze and the leaves of the rosebush I was tending softly brushed at my left cheek...like a kiss of thanks 😉🌹💖.
3- the Magic of Books 🪄📚💝.
4- Our Garden 🌱💖.
5- I'm back on Litsy 📚💝.

So that explains the mysterious, soothing, addictive smell we love! I want to know more about this.
A book nerd friend is moving and gave me first dibbs on her books she‘s okay with giving away. Many more shelves to go through. I chose these yesterday.
So this is what this year has come to, a pessimistic fortune cookie 🥠 🤦🏼♀️🥠

The story of the two, Bate Motels.
My mom always told me about a Bates Motel series from 1987. It had supernatural elements and was all so good!
A few weeks ago my mom found this complete series of the Bates Motel. We were so excited to find this, and I was thrilled to finally be able to watch this supernatural series I grew up hearing about.
