I'm a Prepared Juggler-Sipper-Hoarder. Sometimes a Snuggler. How about you?

TheBookHippie I do not see book throw 🤣🙃 2d
Read4life It‘s easier for me to say what I‘m not— a Whisperer. All the rest ✅ 🤓 2d
BarbaraJean @TheBookHippie @Read4life Hahaha—yes! Maybe they need to replace “The Whisperer” with “The Thrower” 😆 2d

This was the appropriately named brewery in Charlotte, NC that I hung out at yesterday!

vivastory I loved this book. Hope you had a good trip! 5d
Kimberlone Thanks! Loving her insights so far. Surprisingly, I‘ve never read a book by Jane Smiley, but this might be the impetus to finally dig into A Thousand Acres, which I‘ve had a copy of for I can‘t remember how long! (edited) 5d
BarkingMadRead I don‘t think we‘ve been to this brewery yet, I‘ll have to tell my hubs about it 5d

Kimberlone @BarkingMadRead it is in the same area as OMB and Brewers @ 4001 Yancey. I really liked this sour! The flavors were subtle but really complemented the sour ale! If you are in Charlotte, let me know if you have a good bookstore recommendation…I have some free time tomorrow before I have to drive back to Raleigh for my flight home. 5d
BarkingMadRead Where in Charlotte are you? There‘s one called Park Road books that‘s in the same plaza as a yummy bakery and also a Jeni‘s ice cream! 5d
Kimberlone @BarkingMadRead I saw that one in my research but it was a bit out of my way when I looked. Might try to fit it in tomorrow, if I have the time. Trying not to have to rush my drive back to Raleigh! 5d

In Charlotte, NC for a work trip this week, and yesterday I spent some time at a local brewery with the book I brought. Book accompanied by a yummy pretzel and tasty Plum-Rosemary-Orange Sour Ale. I was impressed, you can really taste the rosemary in this drink!

Side note: any Charlotte/Raleigh Littens around? I have one more day here (I have to drive back to Raleigh tomorrow from Charlotte) and would love a good bookstore recommendation!

5 star read for me. Genres: Historical (WWI), literary. The novel follows identical twin sisters Peggy and Maude, bindery girls for Oxford University Press. Issues of class, women‘s rights (or lack thereof) are woven throughout the book. What this novel brings to the forefront is the erasure of women and their contributions in history. If interested, read Williams other book The Dictionary of Lost Words first-there is crossover between the books

Scraps. That‘s all I got. Fragments that made no sense without the words before or the words after.

Proposed bill in MN to ban banning books in schools & public libraries! I hope it passes! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

https://www.mprnews.org/story/2024/03/21/ban-on-book-bans-introduced-in-minnesot...

I‘ll be even prouder to live on a blue island in a sea of red.

JenP I‘m on school committee in my town (in a very blue state) and last week we got our first request to ban two middle school books. I never thought I would see that here. And I‘m only hoping it comes to our vote before I leave school committee so I can deny the request. My term is over in May (edited) 6d
Tamra @JenP 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾 6d
KathyWheeler My guess is that the people requesting the bans haven‘t even read the books. 6d

“No man is above fate and the natural turn of events, no matter how much they try to manipulate things no one can control.”
I‘ve been reminded about the devastating effects of book banning during this read.

A little too chilly to sit outside but still…I‘m reading.
