1. Unplug often. read a lot. Get good sleep. Move more. Never avoid eye doctor, ear doctor, dentist. Surround yourself with enough positivity that you can handle it when things are bad.

2. 😎😅☀️

3. I watched sooshimango on the most recent episode of #masterchefAU

Pickpick

It‘s refreshing to meet a writer who clearly understands the core issues dividing this country. Unfortunately, this book offers a bleak assessment of our future, suggesting that our nation is on its last legs.
The author not only diagnoses the problems but also explores solutions most Americans overwhelmingly support. Yet, these efforts are being blocked by those who act as parasites, standing in the way of progress and meaningful change.

#LiteraryCrew discussion time! I have 5 questions posted as spoilers. These can be found on my feed, the book‘s feed, or searching the group hashtag.

Please feel free to visit the questions whenever you like. This time, there are several links for more information.

December‘s book is Kaia Alderson‘s Sisters in Arms. The official post will go up tomorrow!

julieclair Still reading. I‘m enjoying it, but finding it slow going. 6mo
Librarybelle I agree, @julieclair . I‘m still reading it too, and it‘s not a fast read. 6mo

5. I would be remiss not to mention the relations between British men and Indian women. As detailed by de Courcy, while the initial British occupation had looser laws and regulations, by the mid-nineteenth century, the British strictly forbade couplings.

However, we all know what can happen...

The lasting legacy of Anglo-Indian descendants is complicated. Article from the Royal Historical Society linked below. #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

4. de Courcy details the climate, vegetation, and bugs (shudders!) that faced the British women upon arrival. Moldy shoes within 24 hours! I cannot imagine (I am not a fan of the heat and humidity).

Victorian social mores also restricted women from adopting cooler clothing. The part about flannel was shocking.

de Courcy also mentions coping mechanisms used. Any stand outs for you? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
