Finally made it into the city to see the Kusama exhibition - I‘d heard that it was magnificent and always crowded so we bought tickets online and arrived before the gallery opened to join the queue - which meant we were able to walk straight in AND we loved it all! This was my favourite room but they were all glorious!

Even my beloved water window has had a Kusama makeover.

Ruthiella Yup! So annoyed that they changed the font color and penguin logo on the spine, though. Why? Why? Why? (edited) 8mo

I did a better search tonight for books for the #readingOceania challenge, especially for audiobooks, which really help me knock out lots of books. So here‘s part 1 of my anticipated reads for the challenge this year. @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB I am surprised there are so many choices! 1y

Librarybelle Hooray! 1y

Larkken In case you are still looking for possibilities from the Marianas Islands, the tagged is by a poet/activist from Guam and is nonfiction. I‘ve not read it so would be interested to hear what you thought of it!

marleed I discovered Libby while I was living in SA because the library did such a great job encouraging people to try their e-lib. It opened up doors to many more options to experience books! I lived less than a mile from the fascinating Central Library but it was the e-library I was most grateful for. Funny thing is, I purchase more physical books because audiobooks allow me to experience so many more authors and genres! 1y

Texreader @marleed I discovered Libby late last year during jury duty!! 😊 and I work about two blocks from the central library but never go. I keep telling myself it would be good to go walk there but I don‘t. I think it‘s been closed for construction too. 1y

Texreader @Larkken Thank you!!! 1y

Texreader @BarbaraBB Right? 1y

marleed @Texreader omg - I was called for jury duty about 3 months into living in SA and I walked down from my Pearl apt to the courthouse (because I could). The ordeal was fascinating since hundreds of potential jurors for many cases gathered. Coolest thing though, as the morning kicked off this older man (bailiff I suppose) welcomed everyone and explained how proud he was of us for showing up for our civic duty. He made me proud to be there. 1y

Texreader @marleed I served on a jury many years ago here in SA. I got lucky this time. But I think it‘s a great public service. And as a litigator it was fascinating to be on that side of it. 1y

I‘ve spent the evening looking through my library and free ebooks for #readingoceania2024. Just a start but I feel good to have found something for every country. @BarbaraBB @Librarybelle

BarbaraBB That is quite the start! You‘ve found so many already! 1y

5feet.of.fury I have a fave travel book that‘s set in Fiji & Vanuatu

Texreader @5feet.of.fury Sounds fun! The book I listed for Fiji doesn‘t have the best reviews so I definitely want to consider something else. Thank you!! 1y

Texreader @BarbaraBB You know me! I can‘t wait too long to get started!! 1y

BarbaraBB And that‘s so cool! 1y
