A joke:
How do you know when there's a bodhran player at your front door?
The knocking gets faster and faster.

And there's a woman climbing over chairs, taking pictures of every conceivable object at every conceivable angle...so she's obviously American.
He's upset a few along the way too, as does anyone willing to put their head above the fray.
A family saga about Milly and Pip who drift in and out of each other's lives over the years. In many ways not much happens other than the daily life of these two characters and the close people in their life. However, the writing is so descriptive I found myself quite invested in the characters.
It‘s here!! National Book Awards longlist week!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Today‘s lists are translated lit and young people‘s lit (you‘ll have to go their website for the latter, which I don‘t follow). I‘ve actually read 2 of these, the Kang and Hunchback, and the Balle and Barrera don‘t release until November, which is always frustrating. I am loving the cover of Sleep Phase and We Computers only has 3 ratings on Goodreads, so I love seeing it elevated here.
It‘s an accomplishment to grow old in Bohane; chances are you‘re caught up in the city‘s violent, deadly current just by living there. To live, you have to be a rare combo of ruthless and smart. Survivors like Logan, Ol Boy, Gant, and Girly see the ways out—swing your knife at the leader or stay hidden, especially if you miss. The lucky people get to reminisce—an act that shows you had your shining moment and lived to talk about it.
Random book from our personal library.
