"...my taxes are spent, by the orange
cockatoo in the White Man House,
on bailing out bankers."

I think Sharon and I will be getting on ok together ?

The Christmas Tree Farm | Laurie Gilmore
post image

Yesterday we went to Santa‘s Tree Farm to pick out a Christmas tree. The delicious smells of all the various kinds of trees makes you feel all warm and cozy inside. 🌲

pine-scented air tinged
with spice and hints of citrus —
warmth floods the senses.

Two books I'm starting today: Symphonies for the Soul is a classical music "pharmacy" linking musical pieces to mental health issues, which will probably be a book I'll slowly consume into next year.
The tagged book is Olds' poetry collection about aging during the COVID era - at least that's what I think it is. I've not previously read her work, so unsure if this is a good introduction.

Bookwomble And, yeah, you love my lamp! ❤️💡🐈‍⬛📚🏵️😄 Impulse buy as Mrs B objected to the one I liked with crows, but cats, books and flowers are inarguably satisfactory 😊 22h
VanessaCW Love the lamp! I like crows. I find them fascinating. I also like cats, flowers and obviously books! 21h
wanderinglynn That lamp! 😍😍😍 21h

CoffeeNBooks I'll be curious to see what you think of Symphonies for the Soul. I love classical music, and that sounds like a really interesting book! Also, great lamp! 21h
Bookwormjillk @wanderinglynn hey! Good to “see” you 20h
AnnCrystal Lovely Lamp 👏🏼🤩📚🏵️🐈‍⬛💫...Crows would have been lovely too 🤩💫. 14h
jitteryjane724 I'm very interested in what specific pieces will be linked to mental health issues in your reading if certain ones are listed. Will you keep us updated? 7h
Bookwomble @VanessaCW @wanderinglynn @CoffeeNBooks @AnnCrystal Thank you for your appreciation, despite me being a #ShamlessLampPimp 😁 now
Bookwomble @jitteryjane724 I'll post some updates as I go along 😊 The entries are listed alphabetically by emotion, so starting with Abandonment, Condy offers Handel's Messiah, which I've actually never liked. The second offering for Acceptance (lack of) is Holst's Saturn, which I love ❤️🪐❤️ Each entry had a short essay about the music and composer, and the emotions Condy expected it to elicit, and that's interesting regardless the musical piece. now

Priestdaddy: A Memoir | Patricia Lockwood
post image
Pickpick

Wow, Patricia Lockwood really comes at you HARD with her sentences. The majority of this takes place when she and her husband go through financial difficulties and return to live with her parents. There are gobs of tangents about her childhood, mostly centering her parents and specific brand of religion. I love her writing but often became disoriented by her gems she sprinkles throughout. Hilarity but also poignancy in one slap of the pen. ⬇️

Chelsea.Poole I can‘t believe it took me this long to read this memoir, probably because I was holding out hope I‘d get to listen to it someday but it‘s an audible only format and those dirty dogs won‘t sell to libraries so I boycott. Anyhoo, this memoir informs so much of her fiction. Her dad is a huge character in her life as well as in later books. 2d
