#5JoysFriday

1) Oregon Beavers won the first game of their super regional today.
2 & 3) Tried my hand at strawberry freezer jam and we got a great smallish freezer to put them in.
4) My dad is having some health issues but endoscopy and colonoscopy came back fine. No firm answer yet but having colon cancer ruled out brings much joy.
5) Pippin‘s joyful greeting when I got home from my dad‘s.

“We must deal here with the raw stuff of life, emotions and impulses and attitudes….”

Really overly excited about this massive #bookhaul from a used bookstore in Philly.

Yes, all of this fiction counts as rare as per my 2025 reading challenge. 😬😬😳😳🤪🤪

Spurred by the (way too long imho) movie I finally picked up a copy of Queer. Interesting and descriptive in its time and places, somewhat disjointed, not entirely satisfying but still good. More accessible than his later works. His protagonist isn‘t exactly likeable but I don‘t believe that is the intent. Glad to have finally read it.

I read The Great Gatsby every June. It‘s one of my favorite summer traditions. #Naturalitsy @AllDebooks @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit

Here‘s my #BookSpinBingo card for June!
My #Bookspin book Is Travels with Charley and
my #doublespin book is The Cliffs by J. Courtney Sullivan.
I made my board by stamping on a printed Bingo card, and writing with Zebra Clickart markers.
Thank you @TheAromaofBooks !
