Crocheting 🧶 the crocodile 🐊 stitch, while the Big Game is on and stopping to watch commercials! This is a shawl, so I have to start at the tip/bottom and work my way bigger!

GingerAntics I‘m going to have to look up the crocodile stitch. 5y
Cinfhen So awesome to have so many creative skill sets 🙌🏻💕 5y
TheKidUpstairs That looks lovely! I love the colour. Learning to crochet is on my never-ending to do list! 5y

erzascarletbookgasm Nice colour! 5y
CrowCAH @GingerAntics it takes a long time to make, but well worth it! 5y
CrowCAH @Cinfhen thank you 😊 5y
CrowCAH @TheKidUpstairs it does give the hands something to do and I find it relaxing. Keep it on the list; you‘ll get there some day! 5y
CrowCAH @erzascarletbookgasm it‘s a bright blue teal and soft to work with! 5y
GingerAntics It looks lovely. 5y

A dark and disturbing look at what lies in the deep. This book started out a bit slow and derivative. I kept being pulled out of the story...”oh, that reminds me of”...now, back to the story. But the book eventually came into its own and made it a pick. I will never be able to look at guinea pigs the same way ever again (See my post for #QuotsyDec18 | 7: #Magnetic ). And the bees, oh, the bees.

LiterRohde So sorry for the repost! It disappeared from my feed! 5y
TheKidUpstairs I don't think I want to know about the guinea pigs.... 5y
LiterRohde @TheKidUpstairs And @Cinfhen said on my original post before it disappeared that I had her at guinea pigs...🤣 (edited) 5y

Dark and deeply unsettling in parts. This novella raised a lot of questions about society‘s expectations and normalcy. Keiko tried to fit in by mimicking others and being the perfect convenience store employee. Finds herself questioned bc she #startedfromthebottom and has no desire to move up. Dark broken up with some lightness in Keiko‘s observations about her coworkers and friends. not the light palate cleanser I expected. #timbittunes

Cathythoughts Sounds great 👍🏻♥️( except for the “ novella” part ) ..... 😬I like normal sized books 5y
Blaire @Cathythoughts yes, this took under two hours to read so it is not a normal size book. ☺️ 5y
Cinfhen I also thought this was going to be a light read but it was SO HEAVY!! It left me REALLY SAD and frustrated too!! I didn‘t like the word usage either. This whole book was off putting for me. @emilyhaldi just reviewed it too!! And gave it an enthusiastic pick 5y

Blaire @Cinfhen the whole middle section was really sad. I felt awful for her. Tho the ending made me feel ok and I‘m glad it went the way it did. 5y
Reggie Ughhh when she stopped hearing the sound of the store at night, there was an emptiness I felt for her. 5y
Blaire @Reggie yes! Me too. So sad. 5y
emilyhaldi I totally agree with this review! I was expecting something lighter too. There were definite moments of sadness in the middle @Reggie @Cinfhen but ultimately I appreciated the ending and Keiko‘s resolve about accepting her life as is instead of letting societal expectations define her. 5y
Blaire @emilyhaldi I agree re the ending. I breathed a sigh of relief when she accepted herself and got out of that awful situation. @reggie @cinfhen 5y

Adam Kay #startedfromthebottom in the NHS. He kept a diary over the years, most of which was spent as a training OBGYN.

You‘ll be shocked. You‘ll find yourself laughing (Kay has an amazing sense of humor), you‘ll wonder how so many stupid people exist in this world. 😂 You‘ll also question why anyone in their right mind would become a doctor for NHS. (97 hour work week is just the tip of the ice berg.)

Cinfhen I‘ve heard really good things about this book😀and I‘m really intrigued by your photo prop😜 5y
TheKidUpstairs Sounds like a great read! I always get a little freaked out reading books or watching shows about doctors starting out. They're so sleep deprived, and I know How little my brain works when I'm tired, I hate to think of the mistakes they must make. 5y
Cathythoughts Great review... I think I‘ll get it for my daughter for her birthday ( she‘s a nurse ) 5y

#timbittunes #startedfromthebottom

I was obsessed with this book as a kid - written in 1881 it‘s the story of a widow and her five children living in poverty. It emphasises the values of family and hard work and honesty etc as a good nineteenth century children‘s book tended to do! There‘s a kind of rescue from poverty along the way but it‘s the first in a series so I‘m not sure if that‘s the end of the story 😊

Becker ❤️nostalgia- I loved it too❤️ 5y
theresidentromantic I loved this book!! I found I'd put it on a pedestal as a kid and found it hard to reread, but it's Definite treasure, especially how they care for their sister! 5y
Eggs Loved it too, read it many times 5y

rubyslippersreads @Cinfhen @LeahBergen I read this book over and over as a kid. My mom bought me a lovely vintage set of (almost) the whole series, but Im embarrassed to confess I haven‘t read them yet. Z😊 5y
Cinfhen As long as you‘re enjoying owning them @rubyslippersreads that counts too❤️❤️ 5y
LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads @Cinfhen I read this one as a kid but never read any of the sequels, either. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5y
Centique @rubyslippersreads ohhh it sounds beautiful though! 😍 Mine fell apart and i made it a cardboard cover - the complete opposite! 5y

You would think you could not be more at the bottom than being imprisoned in a Prisoner Of War camp. But some people still manage to rise up.

I adored this book when I read it late last year....

We first meet Kathy Kontent in ‘late middle age‘ attending an opening evening at MOMA, having clearly led a charmed life. However we go back in time to 30 years before where we see her sneaking into bars through the back door, hustling and a bit of stealing. There follows the story of how she got from there to here.....

Cinfhen This was a bookclub book several years ago. I don‘t know why but it didn‘t hold my attention. The others loved it. And of course, the author went on to write one of my new favorites 5y

In the 1860s, Horatio Alger wrote a series of books for boys about Ragged Dick, a New York City boot black who, through hard work, rises to middle class respectability. It's a classic, sentimental rags-to-riches fantasy of pulling yourself up by the bootstraps. #startedfromthebottom #timbittime @Cinfhen @TheKidUpstairs

TheKidUpstairs Great classic pick! 5y
LeahBergen That title has always made me go 🤔... 😂😂 5y
