"Sometimes it's nice to be alone.

Just you, reading your book, alone, and the only sound in the world is the whispery sound of you turning pages."

suvata The poor thing just doesn‘t know what to do. Chapter 5: “What was I doing here alone in great London? What should I do on the morrow? What prospects had I in life? What friends had I on, earth? Whence did I come? Whither should I go? What should I do?” 1y
KristiAhlers I can‘t imagine how scary it was to go to London like that by herself. Given the time period and such. But at the same time I‘m so glad she‘s done this. She deserves for something to work out for her. 1y

Clare-Dragonfly I kind of love that she has a little money and she‘s ready to take herself on an adventure. If it doesn‘t work out, she‘ll just come home! So brave! 1y
BarkingMadRead @suvata it was heart wrenching!!! @KristiAhlers I can‘t even imagine, I was amazed that she attempted it!! And @Clare-Dragonfly is right! So brave! Hopefully it isn‘t her one last adventure! She deserves a good turn! 1y
rubyslippersreads Do you think she stayed at the Chapter Coffee House, like the Brontës did? 1y
SarahBookInterrupted @Clare-Dragonfly I agree so brave! I also loved that she decided to just give it a try. She is not giving up. Good for her. I‘m hoping she will be rewarded for it. 1y
julieclair After leading such a quiet life, where did she ever get the gumption to take herself off to London? Is she brave, or just dangerously naive? Either way, I‘m impressed! I sure do hope this is the beginning of a better life for her. 1y

Shh. Can you hear that? It's the sound of pure silence. Hubs took the toddler out on an adventure this morning for a few hours so I'm going to live it up! I'm SITTING and drinking my HOT coffee and starting the first chapters for the #BoneSeasonBuddyRead with something not animated on the TV in the background. Later, I'm getting a shower. With HOT water. Alone. Admit it, you're jealous 🤣🤣🤣

How to Disappear | Sharon Huss Roat

I turn off the phone. Completely. Slide to power down and slip it into my backpack. The buzz of the cafeteria rises to match the roar in my ears. I can‘t hear anything else. But I see them, as they #seeme. And I know I won‘t ever be #alone.

Fun illustrations, but otherwise this didn‘t quite live up to my expectations. The writing was a little sparse, and the grandmother‘s voice lacked personality. #WinterGames2021 TeamGameSleighers @StayCurious Word Search 3 + 56 pts

StayCurious At least it got you lots of points! Win! 2y

“Everyone stood there, quiet. I could tell from their expressions they were all thinking hard. The HubSystem that controlled their habitat, that they were dependent on for food, shelter, filtered air, and water, was trying to kill them. And in their corner all they had was Murderbot, who just wanted everyone to shut up and leave it #alone so it could watch the entertainment feed all day.” #QuotsyApr21

wanderinglynn Change “entertainment feed” to books and I feel the exact same way. 😆 3y
TheSpineView Love Murderbot! 3y
