#litSolace #MidSummerSolace

This was a re-read for me, but it hit much differently in my 40‘s than it did in my 30‘s. I loved the three stories of women breaking the mold in Appalachia and how they came together at the end. I forgot how funny this book was too. Truly some laugh out loud moments.

Thanks for the motivation to re-read @AllDebooks

PaperbackPirate This is my favorite Kingsolver so far! A reread is a great idea, but I still need to read Demon Copperhead. 📚 38m

Full Body Burden: Growing Up in the Nuclear Shadow of Rocky Flats | Kristen Iversen

pick

This is part memoir and part history of Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant in CO. It‘s interesting and Iverson has a lot to say about her life and the impacts of Rocky Flats. I think a map of the area and a timeline could have helped move this along. Parts were fantastic, other portions I scanned.

Today is a whole #Hyggehour 💚🥵

It's so hot, I need lots of breaks to cool down from gardening jobs. I'm looking forward to a pamper evening and #Hyggehour readathon tonight, continuing with the tagged. 🍸📚🍸

What are your plans?

Susanita I encountered two young Mormons last evening during my neighborhood walk. They were very friendly and personable, but I assured them that I have my own church and didn‘t need information about theirs. In fact, I‘ve been attending my church for more years than they have been alive. 1w

BookmarkTavern One of the many reasons I left the LDS church. I was told my only value lay in the sons I could provide to a husband. 1w

kspenmoll Not a surprise seeing who said this to her!!! I have a friend who was Mormon, left the Church when her dad was excommunicated for his homosexuality. She then was inundated with members & family persuading her to return. She eventually did for she sorely missed the community. I attended her baptism. But when she moved to CA to teach, a few years latter she left for good. She is an amazingly strong woman. (edited) 1w

The Overstory | Richard Powers

Gosh. I'm at a loss... so very detailed and engrossing but hurt my brain and my thoughts so very much.
In awe of his capacity to write such am epic story which has deep truths.
On Saturday I'm attending the March for Nature rally. It feels timely.
