This is sad, beautiful, funny, warming as it is unsettling. And in the midst of all this there is wonderful imagery like this:
“There were so many things a tree could do: add color, provide shade, drop fruit, or become a children‘s playground, a whole sky universe to climb and hang from; an architecture of food and pleasure, that was a tree.”
quote fr “December 2001 The Green Morning”

Short story by Ray Bradbury, a parody of Poe‘s “House of Usher“.
I‘ve finished reading Martian Chronicles for the second time this year, but this time I read “Usher II” separately. It turns out I didn‘t need to, I didn‘t know my eBook had an update, so I updated it and it now includes “April 2036 Usher II” and “May 2034 Wilderness”. ️⬇️
pickFinished ✔️ Loved this book by Dan LaRock! From the wisdom of his grandfather from the 1960s. It was wisdom then and it‘s wisdom now! Loved that he shared his grandfather‘s words with us and I thank him for that. And I thank God for giving his grandfather the words. God knew it would be as needful today as then! Recommend to those who want to expand their faith and knowledge of God and the Bible and history.

reading this for the second time this year (and making up for all the years this has been on my TBR).
This isn't the opening lines of MC but it is the first line of one of my favourite stories from here. This made me laugh, and is a really nice contrast to the story about Ylla.
Been reading this today. It‘s coming along. It‘s full of wisdom from his grandfather. I know it must be precious to him to have all this his grandfather wrote in the 1960s.

4.50 from Paddington by Agatha Christie was a wonderful warming read with quirky characters, comedy and of course, the Jane Marple.
Current read is collection of shorts from https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/41170, and finally reading something by Margaret Oliphant, Hoffmann and MR James.

pickVery nice book on Winston Churchill and his life and career with the Windsors! He lived a great life serving the monarchy whether they liked it or not 😂. Sometimes they butted heads but mostly were intrigued and respectful towards each other. Each King and Queen he served with he was respectful of and they of him. He lived through some trying times with them. Ty Net Galley for the arc!

pickThis was a really good historical account of the mess ups in the United States, from slavery, to the Challenger disaster, and to collapses in our economy or the stock markets. It gives a really good account and shows how mistakes and failures can help us, if we move forward in a positive way, to survive and thrive again.

Sorry I‘ve been MIA but I‘ve been really busy and tired from trying to organize my house and take care of my mother at the same time. But The Last Secret Agent is a new book I‘ve started reading this past week. I am only into it a chapter or two, maybe three, but so far it‘s very interesting. Can‘t wait to read more. #LitsyReads #2025Reads #SundayReading #NetGalley #nonfiction #memoir
