Very interesting historical fiction about the legend of Pope Joan. Or who knows ….. maybe the world‘s best cover up. 😁

Librarybelle Good morning! I am excited to attend a mystery book event today. The rest of the weekend will be catching up on chores I missed doing this week because of taking Zeke to appointments. It‘s sunny right now, and hearing the birds chirping puts a smile on my face. Hope everyone has a good weekend! 22h
ElizaMarie Good Morning - I am enjoying my morning coffee. Catching up on my shows (Law & Order). We got a puppy yesterday (I am gonna post a picture on a book review). We are gonna spend the day with him so we can come up with a name. 22h
ElizaMarie @Librarybelle - A Mystery book even sounds super fun!!! I love that you have sunshine and birds to keep you company this morning! I woke up with the sun (which I love waking up that way rather than the alarm). 22h

TheBookHippie We are preparing for exams here: my son has all his international baccalaureate exams this week and he is really anxious- so I‘m helping him BREATHE and go over things casually… two years of classes comes down to one paper in each subject- Hisory, English… etc -that you write in 5 parts on one subject in differing ways from ONE QUESTION. Then depending how you do it can count for certain amounts of college credits. It‘s worldwide so I get⬇️ 20h
TheBookHippie His phone and Apple Watch here at home while he is testing. It‘s really strict. So send him some good vibes! 20h

thecheckoutstack After two weeks of pneumonia I‘m finally starting to feel like myself, but I woke up with a bit of a sore throat so feeling a little paranoid. The weather is beautiful here today, hoping to build a fence around my new raised garden beds. 19h
Librarybelle @Cuilin He‘s holding steady. He did not really eat this morning and had some potty issues last night. But, he was active and alert this morning. Thanks for asking! 18h
quietlycuriouskate Usual Saturday domestic and admin. chores here. I prevailed upon my daughter to buzz my hair; now I'm all eyes and cheekbones and look like a cross between Cillian Murphy and a Buddhist nun again. 😂 18h

ElizaMarie @Cuilin I am so glad to hear your discomfort is subsiding. I am trying to get into the “want“ to spring clean. I start to do well, but my husband is not interested, so it's been a battle to get stuff done -- we did do his dressers today (I did mine a weekish ago). So we got 1 bag of clothing to donate!!! --- What are you organizing today? 17h
ElizaMarie @TheBookHippie Ooo sounds intense! SENDING him all the good vibes I have!!! 17h

Cuilin @ElizaMarie Everything!!! Both our daughters are in their 20s and they have spent the last 5 to 7 years boomeranging and dropping things off in our basement. It is an utter mess. 17h

I probably (ok, DEFINITELY) won‘t finish both of these in May since I still have my April pick, The Ghost Map, to read. But they‘re in the queue!

Oof. This book was eye opening and I learned so much from reading it.
Looking at American politics through the lens of women‘s anger and how women have been able to use that anger to shape their future.
Traister spent most of the book examining the 2018 election and it was eerie how much we did not learn from that during the 2024 election.

Scott Braden worked in the public defender's office at the same time as Lisa and is a citizen of Osage Nation. Seeing how capital punishment worked from the inside solidified his opposition of it. "It really is a crusade on the part of prosecutors and staff to build political careers on the backs of the poor," he told me. "The poor are the ones that get executed. The rich don't get executed."

1 of my top reasons for being anti- execution.

The Power Broker | Robert A. Caro

Pickpick

3 months and 1,162 pages later, I‘m finally done with The Power Broker! Totally lives up to its reputation as one of the greatest biographies of all time. Caro‘s meticulous attention to detail and captivating narrative style make this a true epic. Grateful to have learned so much about the political history & urban geography of the city I now call home. 🌟5/5🌟
