pickBook #8 of 2025: “Post” by Leo Herrera
Whatever your gender or sexuality, you should read this book. A compilation of social media posts from June 2020-November 2023, Herrera highlights COVID, grief, HIV and AIDS, queer history, the history of queerphobia, and more. I read this book slowly over several weeks and plan to reread it regularly.
Buy it from @herreraimages on IG
so-soFebruary 2025 Book #8 (last book read this month)
😬Another unpopular opinion🤷🏽♀️What is the purpose of this book? Margo tried to manage her dysfunctional parents by establishing emotional barriers. I still think she underestimate what happened with this professor. She tried to stand alone for herself and son by creating an “ethical kick-ass pimps of all time..” where “sex work can be a legitimate profession…then why not being a pimp?”⬇️
Catching up on yesterday‘s #HaikuADay (Day #8) I didn‘t have a chance to breathe all day & I wrote this one last night at our company All Hands dinner.
In Hawaii the starch of choice at every meal is rice & the rice tray was refilled multiple times. Me, I‘m a potato girl! 🥔
(Sometimes you need a little silly in your haiku!) 😉
Ahh, Potatoes… 🥔
My favorite starch…
two decades on the island
taters still beat rice!

#HaikuADay Day #8
I tried to post this morning from the airport & Litsy wouldn‘t let me & I was teaching class all day & just got home 14 hours later.😵💫Anyway, this one was inspired by my skylight view last night.
Pink Clouds ☁️💕
Clouds before sunset,
pink cotton candy edges,
view from my skylight

January 2025 Book #8
I enjoyed this book inspired in real facts and real people. It motivated me to read about what happened in that period of time before WWII and about these characters. I couldn‘t put it down because I like novels inspired in this period of time. 3.8/4 ⭐️
pickThis #8 in the DCI Banks series is a stunner.
A man is charged with the murder of a wealthy, prominent politician‘s daughter.Prior to his trial,the accused spends months in jail,which he narrates in minute detail.I don‘t want to give anything away, but suffice to say there is a clever multi layered plot,& an in-depth character study. The surprising ending left me cynically wondering if her murder will be avenged or court justice will prevail.
pickJanuary 2025 Book #7
My experience with short story collection is that like/enjoy some stories more than others just like this collection. Some of stories were so beautifully written, others in my humble opinion, were like beautiful expressions but didn‘t feel like a short story for me. 3.5⭐️
