So thrilled to meet Nikki High, owner of Octavia‘s Bookshelf—California‘s only Black Woman owned bookstore in Pasadena, where namesake & beloved author Octavia E. Butler spent her life & writing career. During the recent California wildfires, Nikki moved all her books to the attic and opened her bookstore to neighbors who lost their homes and needed refuge. Let‘s #supportindiebookstores & community-minded sellers like Nikki!✌🏻❤️✊🏻

After work today I had to decompress at a cocktail bar down the street. The bartender made a Hammett reference, so I'm tagging this in... happy weekend, everyone! 🍷📚🍻

#MentalHealthMonday a day late !
1.every day is crazy day.I have much to do but the pain & cruelty coming down in this political scene is toxic.
2.music is always a great idea!
3. I was pretty edgy in my choices as a young adult, I find myself in this crazy time gravitating to the pop/rock of my childhood for comfort!😁I am diehard NPR usually, but can‘t take the ridiculous crap all day long.

Ruthiella Put on My Sharona and do a little time traveling. 💃🕺 1mo
Leftcoastzen @Ruthiella indeed! My radio just played Huey Lewis and the News !😄 1mo
Kerrbearlib I agree, the pain and cruelty is toxic. It can be so heartbreaking to read the news and so hard not to slip into despair. Love your book choice. What are some of your favorite groups from the 1970s? I've been listening to more music from that decade and really enjoying it! 1mo

willaful Very much so. I have a playlist called “Willa's Happy Music.“ 1mo
AmyG I am finding your #3…with movies. Movies from my youth are so comforting. And hugs to #1…madness. 1mo
Leftcoastzen @Kerrbearlib oh so many, the Stones , the Who, when I was young so much was top 40 . The Kinks , Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Springsteen. I just had to stop & listen to Lean On Me by Bill Withers yesterday, let it wash over me! 1mo
Leftcoastzen @Kerrbearlib listening to For What it‘s Worth by Buffalo Springfield often! 1mo
Leftcoastzen @AmyG yes , movies ! Tacky , silly , serious, ones that made me happy or made me think! 1mo
BethM I‘m so glad I got to see the Stones with my dad a few years ago! 1mo
Leftcoastzen @BethM oh , wow ! That‘s so cool! 1mo
peaKnit Agree about the political scene 🤯 nostalgic picks often soothe my soul too. 1mo
Kerrbearlib @Leftcoastzen great list! I need to listen to more by The Kinks. 4w

Pickpick

Absolutely essential writings of our nation's founding. Poetry, memoir, letters, reportage - it's all here from the triumphal to the horrific realities of Black life in early America. I took my time with this one dipping in and out over the last year. Baskerville has built a solid collection.

This is actually my first experience with a Library of America title (imma Penguin Classic girlie) and I was genuinely surprised to see it as an ARC.

This had many well-written stories from writers young and old. Many genres were represented. Points galore for #WGWordSearch.
