An absolutely exquisite comedy of manners, satirising the classist oneupmanship in a women‘s literary lunch club in the Edwardian era.

“This?” he demands, looking down at the waves far beneath them. “This is how you traveled? What if the enchantment ended while Vivi wasn‘t with you?”

The Martian Chronicles | Ray Bradbury
post image
Pickpick

Bradbury is the master of the short story & this collection is one of his best. It follows multiple trips to Mars from earth. There are so many standouts, but Usher 2, depicting a horror house built to trap book banners, & There Will Come Soft Rains, about the fall out of nuclear disaster on Earth, are two of the most memorable. Bradbury has a unique ability to capture fear, innocence, joy, & longing with a simple phrase. He‘s a forever favorites.

Eggs Agree 👍🏼 💯 22h

Recent acquisition for our personal library.

I have never read Lawrence but I couldn't resist an old Penguin with that title in a local charity shop.

The Finger | William S. Burroughs

Pickpick

Fairly classic Tangier era Burroughs. Nothing phenomenal, nothing super Naked Lunch-esque. A short read for a short flight. Junky‘s Christmas is in this collection, the Immaculate Fix bestowed upon one who is junk sick sacrificing his potential relief being a highlight.

Thank You @catsandbooks for #ShowAndTellTuesday ☺️👍🏼🎨💝.

Made this from recycled and upcycled materials.

This is a pricetag from a Peter Rabbit plush. The front has a splendid image of Peter Rabbit, but the back had the product information and the barcode box.

This is made from a material that allowed me to sand off the wording and barcode.

👇🏼

AnnCrystal I then doodled in a planter box, and wrote in a few words:

“Library“

“Beatrix Potter“

And a Peter Rabbit qoute, “Even the smallest ones can change the world!“

I had some extra yarn left over from my mom's shoulder shawl, which I attached and braided.

☺️✍️🐇🔖💖.

The sign made me do it!

We got a new Barnes & Noble where there used to be a Forever 21! They didn‘t have what I was looking for but I still managed to bring 2 books home (The pretty sprayed edges were calling my name!).
Our new school librarian told me she almost loved the A Court of Thorns and Roses series more than Harry Potter so I finally caved and got a copy (Night Court Edition 😍🖤).

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🤩📚💝. 2d

I got a day with Casey! Hurray!

He‘s currently helping me tackle the last story in this Korean collection about a skyscraper city. Alas, it‘s the sort of ideas-over-people SF I struggle to click with, so I ain‘t as wowed as the folks who recced it to me. There‘s enough meat here that I‘ll finish it, at least, but it won‘t make my list of stellar short fiction recs.

BookmarkTavern How cozy! ❤️ 3d

xicanti @dabbe his hair‘s growing so faaaaast. He‘s scheduled for a haircut next week so he doesn‘t expire from the heat. His fur is so thick he struggles with that in the winter, let alone in August. 3d
