Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella guess after Tess I‘m just waiting for something terrible to happen 12mo

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk Understandable. We were all traumatized by that book, I think! 12mo

TheBookHippie I‘m loving this just catching up. I love her writing so much! After last month this is ZEN! 😂♥️ 12mo

TheBookHippie @Ruthiella I think that‘s why I love it! 12mo

julieclair Harry is a cad! 12mo

Cuilin Harry is a PLAYER!!! 12mo

Graciouswarriorprincess I'm loving the characters in this book but not a clue where it is going! I agree that Harry is a cad/player! 12mo

dabbe I feel like it's a day-in-the-life-of kind of book. It reminds me of GLIMPSES OF THE MOON by Wharton, where every day was like “We got up. We ate breakfast. We shopped and ate lunch. Then we partied. And partied. And partied.“ 🤣 12mo

Ruthiella Also, if any have read Excellent Women, the Rocky Napier that Rowena and Wilmet had a crush on during the war in Italy is Mildred‘s neighbor in that book. 12mo

Cuilin @Ruthiella oh I didn‘t catch that. Fabulous. Loved Excellent Women. 12mo

Aimeesue @Ruthiella Rocky as a Pym Easter egg was so fun! 12mo

Ruthiella @Aimeesue @Cuilin I love those little cameos from other novels. 😃 (edited) 12mo

Bookwormjillk A cat pooped out lace and I did not expect that. 2y

TheBookHippie Whew 😮‍💨 2y

Ruthiella I wonder if Mrs. Jamison had actually even met her sister-in-law prior to this visit? I‘m sure Lady Glenmire was bored stiff with only Mrs. J (and Carlo!) for company at first. 2y

mcctrish What a chapter?! #meangirlsofcranford first they don‘t know what to call Lady G, then they won‘t talk to her at all, then a fortnight passes and an invitation to brooch it up ( what bedazzling was before the bedazzler was invented ) with tea makes it everything okay. But the highlight was as @Bookwormjillk said, the unexpected cat poop lace #cranfordcrazies 2y

Clare-Dragonfly That poor cat 😂 I‘m pretty sure it vomited the lace, if that makes anyone feel any better… 2y

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly not really 🤣 2y

Vansa This has to be one of the best pieces of writing I've read- the absolutely merciless send up of pretensions of class snobbery,its perfectly relevant even today.I died laughing at how indignant they are that Mr.Mulliner is reading the paper before they are!Oh,and the hilarious description of how the narrator is trying to take 2 lumps of sugar surreptitiously,and fails at the attempt! 2y

Vansa Her description of the "Parliament of Cranford" on how to address Lady Glenmire ?? 2y

rubyslippersreads @Clare-Dragonfly I hope so. I was quite shocked that Mrs. Gaskell might be hinting that the lace was retrieved by, ahem, another method. 😹 1y

BarkingMadRead @Bklover @peanutnine me too! Ugh! 2y

Aimeesue @Bklover same! UGH 2y

CoffeeNBooks @Bklover same! 🤨 2y

ravenlee But why is Celia so awful too? Do she and Rosy share a brain, so if Rosy is using all of the will and stubbornness then Celia has to be a doormat? I mean, I think James is being a jerk, but Celia encouraging it…ugh. Everyone sucks. 2y

Addison_Reads @ravenlee "everyone sucks" describes how I've felt through most of this book. ? 2y

The 2000s Decade in Photos: A New Millennium | Jim Corrigan

A day late here... but here are my photos from the last decade for #MayBeNow #PartyTime

This is the decade I started using Goodreads to track my reading, and Litsy talk to and meet more readers. My niece and nephew both graduated from HS, I chopped off my hair (now it‘s growing longer again), I added in some of the movies and TV shows I was obsessed with. If I take out politics and the larger societal surreal mess, it wasn‘t a bad decade.

Cinfhen, BarbaraBB

Cinfhen I‘m loving these collages....and yesssssss to Big Bang Theory 🙌🏻 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Great photos! Who‘s that other person?? 🤪 (Oh, it‘s me ... making a cameo.) 💕 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Yes it is! Go you! 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Go us! That was a fun night! 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Yes, that was The Color of Law, such a great book....it‘s so weird thinking about how packed it was that night now. I saw they are posting their author events online now...it‘s a shame because I know they were planning on having Madeline Miller sometime this year and I world have loved to see her in person. 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa They are doing events on Crowdcast. Madeleine Miller was on a couple of weeks ago. I think there‘s probably a replay! Found it - https://www.crowdcast.io/e/circe (edited) 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage It was online and I STILL Missed it 🤣 I‘ve even been checking their emails regularly to see who was coming up each month. I‘ll see if I can find it online, still disappointed I couldn‘t get my book signed in person though. 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Thank you! 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Frustrating! I follow them on FB but you can also set up a Crowdcast account so you get notifications. 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage I will definitely work on that tomorrow, I should be catching tons of author events while everything is more open and online, but somehow I‘ve been less engaged there. 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Another good one happening over the next few weeks is the Gaithersburg MD Book Festival. That‘s on YouTube. 4y

Walt Disney's Goofy: the good sport | Flora O'Brien

#MayBeNow #partytime @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB
My 2010‘s have been mostly about chasing my tail after these two yahoos, lots of trips to Disney and Chicago - two of our favorites, watching the Cubs finally win the World Series, running (and walking) many 5k, forging countless relationships on social media with like minded people who knit, run or read - people that I struggle to find IRL because...I‘m a happy introvert 😂

Cinfhen Fabulous photo and who needs more ?? #TrulyBlessed ♥️ 4y

peaKnit @Cinfhen AMEN 😊 I feel like I have an overflowing cup honestly, I keep IRL friends balanced at a small number so I can try to be better with those I enjoy rather than spreading out thin among too many I don‘t. (edited) 4y

JaclynW I agree with @Cinfhen ! 4y

The Last Decade | Becky Allen Martin

#MayBeNow #PartyTime | The 2010s were quite a whirlwind!

2010 - moved to Wisconsin 🧀
2012 - had our first son 🍼
2013 - moved to Utah ⛰
2014 - had our second son 🍼
2015 - moved to Tennessee 🪕 and made a permanent (I think) home

PS. I miss my super short hair.

Cinfhen, BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB The short hair is cool but I like the long hair too 😍 4y

squirrelbrain Wonderful pictures! ❤️ 4y

TheLibrarian Both look good on you! I love short hair except during a pandemic... 4y

peaKnit Are you in Milwaukee? NVM I can read lol! Love the short hair, I can‘t grow mine out! Gorgeous collage👍🏻 (edited) 4y

britt_brooke @squirrelbrain Thank you! 💚 4y

britt_brooke @TheLibrarian Thanks! 🥰 I love your hair! I was always bad about getting it cut often enough, but I loved it. 4y

britt_brooke @Cathythoughts Thanks! 💚 4y

britt_brooke @TrishB Thank you! 💚 4y

britt_brooke @peaknit 😉😉 We really miss Wisconsin, except for the winters, of course. And thanks! 💚 It took many frustrating tries - and years - to get my hair shoulder length, lol. 4y

TheLibrarian @britt_brooke Aww thanks! I‘ve been bleaching my hair for years so I have to stay on top of the hair cutting game. Right now my roots are really showing 😱 4y

britt_brooke @TheLibrarian I feel like that should just become a new trend at this point! 😂 4y

peaKnit I‘ve made my hairdresser promise me she will not let me say I want to try growing it out. Ever. Again. 4y

Cinfhen Fabulous photos xxx I like the addition of the eyewear 💚 4y

Cinfhen And the solar eclipse was SUCH A BIG DEAL that I can‘t believe I totally forgot about it 🙊 (edited) 4y

britt_brooke @peaknit 😆 4y

britt_brooke @Cinfhen The eclipse was one of the neatest things I‘ve ever seen! We were in the line of totality. Took my breath away. 4y

JaclynW Great pictures! Busy decade! I forgot about the eclipse too. It was cool. I'm glad you have found your forever home. I live just north of Salt Lake City (and have all my life), so at one time we were close! 4y

britt_brooke @JaclynW Utah is so beautiful! We lived in Holladay for 2 years. I miss the mountains. 4y

DebinHawaii Fabulous collage. Love the black and white too! 🖤 4y

britt_brooke @DebinHawaii Thank you! 4y

JaclynW @britt_brooke Utah is pretty great! I love the mountains too! It's one of the things I miss most when I travel to other places. Holladay is a nice area. I'm glad you enjoyed your time here.😊 4y

Songs of the 2010s: The New Decade Series | Hal Leonard Corp.

I‘m sure I missed some, it was hard to find what was actually released in the last 10 years! I found the main theme was strong women: Lizzo, P!nk, Kesha, and Roar by Katy Perry will forever symbolize 2016 for me.
