32 Yolks: From My Mother's Table to Working the Line | Veronica Chambers, Eric Ripert

#Aprella #BusyEarning 🥄Catching up on yesterday's challenge. Finished the audiobook today & like Eric Ripert even more. A difficult upbringing with the death of his father, an abusive stepfather, & other hardships-but he found solace & purpose in his passion for food. Great stories about his growth as a cook & time working the line, Ripert was busy learning & earning from a young age. I hope there's a 2nd book as he's got more story to tell.👨‍🍳

DebinHawaii @emilyhaldi @Cinfhen He seems a good guy & my blogging/cooking group is cooking his recipes for 6 months so I wanted to get to know his back story better. (And he hangs out with Anthony Bourdain so that's a plus too! 😍) 6y

Smart Women Finish Rich | David Bach

This book is about how to save all those 💵 while you‘re #busyearning . I bought this for myself when I was in college working a part-time job. I‘ve always been a saver and was the kind of kid that opened an ira at 18. #yesiwasaneconmajor #aprella #nerd

Reviewsbylola I wish I was a saver. 😬 6y

Mdargusch Impressive. Good for you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 6y

Cinfhen Smart☑️I‘m not a saver either @Reviewsbylola and when we downsized I realized HOW MUCH CRAP I bought over the years....such a waste!!!! I wish I could do it over😣 6y

Dark Run | Mike Brooks

#Aprella #day17 #BusyEarning Captain Ichabod Drift & his crew aboard the Keiko,travel space smuggling cargo & whatever else can keep that payday coming. Described as like Firefly, I found Ichabod was more morally ambiguous than Captain Mal Reynolds, but like Mal, he‘ll do anything to keep his crew safe. In this case, it‘s being blackmailed into taking a “deep run” delivering a smuggled cargo to a specific time & place on heavily fortified Earth.🌏

Cinfhen, Reviewsbylola, emilyhaldi, Mdargusch

emilyhaldi This looks way too sci-fi for me unfortunately 🙃 6y

Reviewsbylola Ooooh sounds interesting! 6y

Mdargusch Sci fi ❌. Not a genre for me but your description almost has me tempted. 6y

LeeRHarry How does it compare to a Becky Chambers book? More hardcore sci-fi? 6y

Lizpixie @emilyhaldi @Mdargusch it‘s not really SciFi oriented, it‘s more a doublecrossed heist story, the space bit is almost incidental @Reviewsbylola I liked it, I‘m pretty sure it‘s gonna be the first in a series @LeeRHarry not at all, it‘s more about the plot than the setting!👍 6y

Model Student: A Tale of Co-eds and Cover Girls | Robin Hazelwood

I don‘t know if you all know this, but in Denmark you get paid to study. That‘s right, from your 18th birthday, you get paid monthly to study (when you are actually enrolled in some form of education). The hope is students will be busy studying, not #busyearning enough money for food and rent. Although, I‘m still busy earning enough to satisfy my book addiction. You gotta keep those shelves looking fresh! 💸💸

Jabberwocky That‘s amazing. What a good incentive to keep people studying/ make it easier to get the most out of your education!! 6y

TrishB Education as it should be.... 6y

LiteraryinLawrence What a great policy! 6y

Reviewsbylola That‘s awesome! 6y

Weaponxgirl That's amazing and a genuinely great way to help poorer students keep up with their richer peers as they don't end up time poor instead 6y

Christine11 That‘s fantastic! 6y

RebelReader That‘s wonderful! I wish the USA would adopt some more international policies 6y

Jess7 Ohh cool! That‘s interesting! #themoreyouknow 6y

Martta Same in Finland. Is there any school fees in Danish Universities? 6y

emilyhaldi Fab!!! 💰👌🏻👏🏻 6y

DivineDiana Sounds like Denmark and Finland value education! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 6y

laurieluna Wow. I need to move there for my kids sake. 😩 England sucks. I do have to say though, I always love your shelfies. I have #shelfenvy 6y

Kalalalatja @Martta not for state approved educations/schools, which most of them are, so I would say no. How about in Finland? 6y

Kalalalatja @Jabberwocky @TrishB @LiteraryinLititz @Reviewsbylola @Weaponxgirl @Christine11 @RebelReader @Jess7 @emilyhaldi @DivineDiana @miralunasbooknook it really is great! It isn‘t a perfect system, but it does make it possible for most students to make it through their study time with little or no student debt, plus it gives room to focus more on study problems instead of money problems. I really can‘t complain! 6y

802Librarian Sounds so wonderful. I worked full time (USA, so 40 hrs/week) while getting my Masters degree and I‘m still paying the debt from it 9 years later 🙄😡. 6y

Mdargusch Wow! 💰💰💰 nice perk? 6y

Martta Our schools are free. There are some special courses that cost money but they are rare. 6y

Kalalalatja @NHLibrarian that makes no sense to me! I really feel priviliged to be able study full time, and only work part time, because I choose to do so, instead of having to do so. @Mdargusch well, it‘s not like I‘m rich or anything, but it does cover most of my monthly expenses 👍 @Martta that‘s how it is here as well 👍 6y

SauerPatch I am drooling over your bookshelves! 😍🤤 6y

ephemeralwaltz That is such a great incentive for young students. I‘ve heard that from northern European countries and I am so jealous! Why is the economy in Spain sooooo bad? 😭 it‘s hard enough to find time to work while studying full-time. Your shelves are so gorgeous!!😍😍 6y

stacybmartin Your bookshelves are gorgeous!! 😍 6y

erzascarletbookgasm How awesome. I want to move to Denmark. For my children‘s sake. 😁 6y

batsy I agree with @TrishB that's definitely how education should be. From where I am, Denmark is looking amazing for having these policies 👌🏽I can't get over how in so many parts of the world it's just about treating students (and patients) as customers and competitors with no safety net. (And your shelves are amazing 😍😁) 6y

Kalalalatja @SauerPatch @stacybmartin thanks you two! ☺️ @ephemeralwaltz @erzascarletbookgasm well, we do pay a lot in taxes to be able to have a society like this, but I wouldn‘t want it any other way! @batsy I agree! That‘s definitely not the feeling you get as a student (or patient) in Denmark, but it does affect the quality of the educations or health services provided at times, if certain areas don‘t get enough state funding. But mostly, it‘s great! 6y

Becker Your book shelf makes me happy 😃 6y

ferskner I wish I could love this 1 billion times. 6y

emilyhaldi @Reviewsbylola Jaimie actually did read it and she said it wasn't great so I haven't been inclined to pick it up 😏 6y

Reviewsbylola Hmmmmm it could still be 50/50. Jaimie and I don‘t always have similar taste. 6y

Cinfhen Haha @Reviewsbylola this is definitely the second time I remember seeing it....it does photograph well🧡 6y

Mdargusch Love the cover! ❤️ now you‘re photographing in the basement? 😂 6y

Kalalalatja Now I‘m kinda intriqued as well, so I‘m putting extra pressure on you 😉😄 6y

Zorba the Greek | Nikos Kazantzakis, Carl Wildman

bailed

I started this for #readaroundtheworld. An unnamed narrator leaves for the island of Crete to exploit a mine. He brings Zorba to manage the work in the mine. Zorba turns out to be the man he always wanted to be: he does all he does with passion, whether he is #BusyEarning money, drinking, eating or ‘making women his‘. After a 100 pages I think I have enough though, I get the point and am not enjoying it at all. On to the next. #Aprella #1001books

Simona You deserve a big 👏👏👏 just for starting this one! 6y

Mdargusch Haha! You “get the point” 😂. It‘s time to move on! 6y

BarbaraBB @ephemeralwaltz I always feel bad about it but I should, shouldn‘t I?! 6y

Reviewsbylola Bummer! At least you knew when to pull the plug. 6y

Currey I always feel bad too but it is easier to motivate others....Move On, Move On 6y

BarbaraBB @Currey So many other books calling for my attention 😀 6y

ValerieAndBooks I bailed on this one as well! But still counted it towards my #1001Books goal 🤫 6y

BarbaraBB @ValerieAndBooks Of course, me too 😉! I am glad you bailed too! 6y
