X, Vol. 6: Includes vols. 10, 11 & 12 | . CLAMP

I thought I was all set to finish X over breakfast, but this isn‘t the end. Poop. If my library‘s got any more volumes, they‘ve catalogued them so weirdly I can‘t dig them out. They do have the anime, so I guess I can always watch that if necessary, just to find out how it all ends.

The Monkey's Paw | W. W. Jacobs

The theme of #becarefulwhatyouwishfor is a universal one, and perhaps you have some examples from your own life that prove this to be true. I'm sure we can all also think of a few other stories we've read or seen that show what a disaster wishing can sometimes be.

Extraordinary Insects: Weird. Wonderful. Indispensable. The ones who run our world. | Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson

#hiselderliness had quite the reading week. #bookreport While Curious and Quirky was “a bunch of rubbish” (sorry authors it‘s not you, it‘s him) The Long Walk is “the best escape book I ever read” And Dad has read nearly all the POW escape books, so 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. Mawson‘s Will was excellent too. The cover was falling apart so he sellotaped it back together (all the librarians shake their heads) And Extraordinary Insects delighted him. ⬇️

Centique “How do they ever figure all this stuff out? They must watch them for weeks” He grins and tells me of the insect that has eyes on its private bits to help it line up for copulation. Thanks Dad 😝😝😝 4y

vivastory When I was in New Orleans I came across an insectarium 😬 4y

AlaMich 😂😂 Yeah, that‘s the conversation you want to have with your father! 4y

Centique @AlaMich I know right! 🤪 4y

Centique @vivastory I would love that! I‘m really interested in insects too. But not if they‘re flying around my head - that‘s horrifying 😝 4y

Cinfhen The more I think about it the more im convinced #HisElderliness NEEDS a podcast XX 4y

JennyM @Cinfhen I second this. He‘s a legend!!! (edited) 4y

Centique @Cinfhen aarrgh no! 😂😂😂90% of what he says is grumbling about the neighbours cars on the street, buildings going up in his view, conspiracy theories about local councillors and being horrified at what his granddaughters think is appropriate clothing. @JennyM #becarefulwhatyouwishfor (edited) 4y

Cinfhen Now I‘m TOTALLY sold!!!!! I‘m sure @JennyM agrees 😜 4y

Cathythoughts Oh he is a scream 😂🤣 4y

JennyM @Cinfhen double legend! Give him a hug from me 😘 4y

CarolynM Sounds like your dad could have a very entertaining podcast😂😂 We have a set of tent poles from one of Mawson's later expeditions. My husband is a fan (he was a geology student at Adelaide Uni, Mawson is their patron saint, they rub the nose of his bust on North Terrace for luck before exams and have graduation photos with it). I'll have to ask him if he's read this one. 4y

Centique @CarolynM oh wow - tent poles! I love old things like that. We have an old WW1 helmet and yacht flags from around that date, and some fireman photos and certificates... nothing as cool as tent poles from a real expedition though! And that‘s a neat tradition with the statue. 😍 4y

Gonna do some outdoor reading with tea in my excellent new hummingbird mug by Coast Salish artist Wayland Johnny Jr. It‘s from the same collection as the moon mug I bought back in February. I was soooo torn between the two and later regretted not getting both (I had a gift card), but McNally Robinson was sold out by my next trip there. Guess they found this one in some dark corner of the stockroom.

Elizabeth2 That mug is gorgeous! 😍 6y

xicanti @Elizabeth2 I‘m super duper in love with it. 6y

Sace Loved this manga series! 6y

xicanti @RestlessFickleBookHoarder I‘m two volumes in and definitely hooked. 6y

Yesterday‘s library haul. I‘m SUPER EXCITED about the Spider-Man movie and a bit bummed SILVER SPOON VOL 3 came before 1&2. Hopefully the people ahead of me return them in a timely fashion.

Any #manga readers in these parts?

XxxHolic has been one of my favorites to come back to when I want to live vicariously through a self-indulgent, all-knowing badass witch. It's definitely a must-read for occult fans!
