Roary47 I‘m hoping to get more caught up today with a clean house, but a nap is definitely in the picture. 6d
TheBookHippie I‘m on a me staycation in my house. No one can ask me a thing for a week. Nor am I cooking for anyone but me. No housework. Nada. Recharging. 😂🙌🏼🤭 6d
dabbe @TheBookHippie Y😍Y! 🧡🤎💛 6d

dabbe @Roary47 N😍PS are the best! Hope you have a long and restful one! 🧡🤎💛 6d
Eggbeater I had a stressful day yesterday, and I am using this weekend to recover. No news, take-out, PBS, books, online book club, and snuggling with my dog. If I happen to get some chores done, that would be a bonus, but I'm not pressuring myself. 6d
Librarybelle I think I can finally rest for the rest of the weekend! I still have minor chores to do, and always lots of kitty things to do, but I don‘t have to rush. What a week! Though, once I sit down, I may fall asleep. 😂 6d
JenniferEgnor Hanging in there. Things to be grateful for and focus on today: gifted more books to my bookworm hospice patient this morning; a nice storm visited us at home; tacos tonight with friends. 6d
willaful I'm missing my husband, who's been away for a week helping his sister recover from surgery. Spending too much time online and watching too much t.v. :-( 6d
AllDebooks @Roary47 Nap roulette is the best game. Is it gonna be a 20 minute catnap or 3 hour food coma? Sweet dreams x 6d
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie Yay for recharging. Wishing you a restful weekend. x 6d
AllDebooks @Eggbeater oh no! I hope you have a restful weekend. X 6d
AllDebooks @Librarybelle Enjoy your weekend. X 6d
AllDebooks @JenniferEgnor ❤️ Enjoy your evening with friends. 🫂 6d
AllDebooks @willaful 🫂 that's tough. I hope she makes a speedy recovery and hubby is home soon. x 6d
willaful @AllDebooks It's lovely and cool outside so I'm going to have a walk, which will be an improvement on my previous activities. :-) 6d
AnnCrystal Thank you for the tag ☺️👍🏼💝. Relaxing today, working on a crochet shawl for my mom. Couldn't find purple cotton yarn, but found a lovely shade of green 🪄🧶💖. 6d

Bookwormjillk Last full day of family obligations and I go home tomorrow! I miss my cats! I even miss working a little 😂 Have a good one all. 2w
Librarybelle Good morning! It‘s been a crazy week—I started a WFH temp job to help pay for Zeke‘s medical bills, and it‘s been crazy. I like the flexibility to work whenever, but the work is not always available, despite a requirement to work a certain number of hours per week. I need flexibility with Zeke‘s care, so I‘ll see how long I can handle this. 😂 It has really cut back on my reduced reading time. Hopefully I can get a good rhythm soon. 2w
AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk enjoy your last day before heading home. 2w

AllDebooks @Librarybelle I hope it works out for you. Good luck. x 2w
Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle I hope you can get it worked out with your WFH job! 2w
Librarybelle Thanks, @AllDebooks and @Bookwormjillk ! I am a planner and having to check for work several times a day at all hours of the day is not a good practice for a planner. 😂 That‘s on me. I guess I‘ll consider it a growth opportunity. 2w
Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle that would be hard for me too 2w
Roary47 I hope you are able to find that balance @Librarybelle 2w
Roary47 Yay! Almost time to go home to the kitties. I‘m happy for you @Bookwormjillk 2w
Roary47 I‘m going to try to take back my house in cleaning. Finding my work life balance is always hard for me. I have forms to complete for my kids school, I have work still to do for my job, but today is audiobooks that my library holds are almost up on and cleaning my house that got out of control through the work/school week. 😅 2w
Librarybelle Safe travels home, @Bookwormjillk ! 2w
Librarybelle Good luck, @Roary47 ! 2w
Bookwormjillk @Roary47 good luck! The forms are a real struggle this time of year! 2w
melissajayne Had friends over on Thursday evening and I was just so drained yesterday. Did basically nothing. I just sat in my chair and watched stuff on my TV and listened to podcasts. Had a good sleep that I just woke up from and feel surprisingly rested and content. 2w
AllDebooks @Roary47 bleurgh, cleaning and form-filling! Hope they're completed quickly so you can get back to doing what you want. 2w
AllDebooks @melissajayne sometimes you just need a timeout to recharge. That's what I'm doing today. 😅 2w
dabbe I can't believe how jet-lagged I still am from my trip (4 hours ahead in NB). Add to that, I need to relearn how to handle the heat. Since I've been home it's been 113, 115, 118, and 115. The dogs are grumpy because it's too hot to even walk outside. So, I need to stop bitching and find the good. I have a home with AC and pups who love me. What more do I need? 💙🩵💙 2w
dabbe @Bookwormjillk Yay for home and cats! Safe travels! 💙🩵💙 2w
dabbe @Librarybelle Yay for your job, though I hope it calms down for you soon! Glad Zeke's still enjoying life and love to you and those kitties! 💙🩵💙 2w
dabbe @Roary47 I'm so with you! My house is a disaster zone! It's so bad that I look around and don't even know where to begin. Yet, I don't have to work with students anymore. I hope you have a stellar school year, m'dear. 💙🩵💙 2w
dabbe @melissajayne It's so necessary to reboot after time spent with people. Glad you woke up feeling rejuvenated. 💙🩵💙 2w
Deblovestoread I have had a busy, although mostly fun, three days since Wednesday. Even the DMV, while not fun, was easy with an appointment. I‘m so glad to be home today with just Pippin and some quiet time. 2w
Deblovestoread @Bookwormjillk Going home is always a treat. 💙 2w
Deblovestoread @Librarybelle The work thing sounds HARD. Hope it goes in its most positive way for you. Give Zeke a pet from me. Hope he‘s doing well. 2w
Deblovestoread @Roary47 Hope the necessaries can be accomplished quickly and you get time to relax. 2w
Deblovestoread @melissajayne I so get the need to rest after peopling. 2w
Deblovestoread @dabbe We are forecasted to hit 101° tomorrow and I‘m not a fan. Thankful for AC and that our nights cool down to mid 60‘s. Hopefully a good book can take your mind off the hell that is outside. 2w
Librarybelle Thanks, @dabbe and @Deblovestoread ! Zeke is doing very well. He had a really rough patch a couple of weeks ago but has really bounced back. He also stopped eating the one food he had been eating but wanted a novel protein food he ate before his diagnosis, and he is so improved on this, acting mischievous at times. He still likes eating during the night, though, so I‘d love some restful sleep at some point! But, I‘d rather this than not have him. 2w
dabbe @Deblovestoread I think I can probably find one or two. 100+ degrees in Oregon is just NOT correct. It's just not. 💙🩵💙 2w
dabbe @Librarybelle 🖤🐾🖤 2w
Roary47 Thank you @AllDebooks @dabbe @Deblovestoread I was able to get most of it done, and then played my video game. 😍 2w

Librarybelle Good Morning! It‘s so hot outside, so I am very thankful for air conditioning. Hoping for a quiet weekend to catch up on sleep, but we‘ll see if my cats will allow that. 😂 4w
Sace Good morning! Haircut today but otherwise no plans. I report back to work on Wednesday so I am trying to read as much as I can! It‘s to hot to be outside anyway. 4w
Aims42 Happy Saturday!! No big plans except for doing the weekly grocery shopping. They‘re saying rain and thunderstorms for my area so I‘m taking that as a sign today should be a chill reading day 🤓 4w

AllDebooks @Librarybelle 🤞 for nap time x 4w
AllDebooks @Sace ooh, restyle or trim? 4w
AllDebooks @Aims42 absolutely it's a sign 😀 4w
Sace @AllDebooks mainly a trim but I am growing out a short pixie to a blunt cut bob. I am currently in the worst portion of the process when no matter what I look shaggy and my hair is in my way 😆 4w
dabbe Thanks for always checking in on us! We're taking Pip (with Katie riding shotgun) to see her vet neurologist for her yearly checkup for epilepsy. Then, we'll probably be exhausted, so we'll rest up in anticipation of our friend Ann and her greyhound, Phoebe's visit this evening. #allaboutthedogs 🖤🐾🖤 4w

Librarybelle Good morning! It‘s been another rollercoaster week, both personally and in the world. But, I‘m hoping to sleep this weekend (hardly any sleep the past few nights), read, and hang with cats. Because, you know, cats make everything better! 1mo
Sace I report back to work July 30 so I am spending every moment I can reading. Work thoughts creep in and I have to quash them. I‘m already thinking about the August TBR since traditionally I do NO reading in August and I don‘t want that to happen this year. Only thing on the agenda today is lunch at my favorite Thai restaurant. 1mo
kspenmoll I am back home from a few heavenly days in Mendon, VT. On my porch with coffee & a book, welcoming the morning.A break from the heat! Plan to walk with my neighbor after coffee, the laundry catch up,bring book donations to library. The afternoon id free for me. 1mo
See All 24 Comments
kspenmoll @Librarybelle I truly hope you can sleep, read, & snuggle with your cats. It has been a roller coaster week politically…so rest up for life right now. 1mo
kspenmoll @Sace Enjoy your thai food & the remainder of your time off.💕 1mo
Librarybelle @kspenmoll Yay for porch reading! 1mo
Librarybelle @Sace Enjoy your remaining free time! 1mo
Chrissyreadit @Librarybelle I hope you get lots of cozy, snuggles, and reading time 💛 1mo
Chrissyreadit @kspenmoll that sounds like a thoroughly enjoyable day. 1mo
Chrissyreadit @Sace What book are you most looking forward to reading next? 1mo
Sace @Librarybelle Cats are the best! 1mo
Sace @kspenmoll and your porch looks lovely! 1mo
Sace @kspenmoll and @Librarybelle thank you! 1mo
Chrissyreadit I have caught a Summer cold! so will try out some ways to feel better without raising my blood sugar (i use a lot of honey typically when sick) 1mo
Sace @Chrissyreadit I‘m still trying to finish up the July reading menu. The only thing I know for sure about the August reading menu is that it will be made up entirely of snacks and leftovers (quick reads and the books I don‘t finish in July). 😂 1mo
Sace @Chrissyreadit oh no!! I hope you can get some relief. Lots of rest and reading are in order. 😁 (edited) 1mo
AllDebooks @Librarybelle sleep well. Cats and books make everything better. X 1mo
AllDebooks @Sace a Thai lunch sounds delicious. Enjoy your meal. 😀 1mo
AllDebooks @kspenmoll Sounds like a chilled day. x 1mo
AllDebooks @Chrissyreadit oh no, wishing you well. I prescribe a #Hygge weekend. ❤️ 1mo
AllDebooks I've been rained off gardening. I'm alternating between Lord of the Rings movie marathon with my eldest and reading 1mo
Librarybelle Hope you feel better, @Chrissyreadit ! 1mo

The Monk of Mokha | Dave Eggers

Mehso-so

The true story of Mokhtar, a Yemeni American, that decides to resurrect the coffee production in Yemen after discovering it's the place of origin. Without previous experience or capital to fund it, he decides to learn everything about coffee and travel to Yemen to improve the way coffee is produced there and the working conditions, but leaving the country with the coffee in the middle of a civil war it's not an easy feat. Loved the beginning ⬇️

nanuska_153 and the pieces when he encounters racism in the US airports as well as the civil war part, but there's a good portion of the book that goes into the details of cultivating and roasting the coffee that really drags on. Although I am amazed at the story, I like more the idea of the book than the book itself. 1mo

AllDebooks Hi, thank you. I do enjoy them. What are your plans for the weekend? 😀 1mo
AllDebooks I'm trying to find a plumber. It's 30°C here, and we have no water due to a stuck bath tap. Not how planned to spend today, but here we are. 🥵 1mo

ElizaMarie Good morning. I woke up at 2 AM, stayed up for a few hours, did some homework, took a nap, and am now up again, finishing homework and drinking some coffee. Hope to get to a muesum today. 1mo
Bookwormjillk @AllDebooks ugh good luck. That sounds like a pain. Chores for me today- bringing my son to get his passport then bringing my daughter to get shoes. We‘ll see which is more painful. Tonight a neighbor has invited us on his boat to see fireworks. I‘m sort of looking forward to that but also feeling drained. Husband really wants to go though so I‘ll make the effort. Tomorrow is mine. 1mo
Bookwormjillk @ElizaMarie have fun at the museum! 1mo
TheBookHippie @AllDebooks good morning!!! I too am waiting on a plumber… bathroom sink… second time this summer.. was for leaking toilet earlier this month🤦🏻‍♀️ good luck to you!!!! Ugh.. 1mo
TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk tomorrow is yours !!! 1mo
Cuilin @ElizaMarie Nice, what museum? 1mo
Cuilin @TheBookHippie @AllDebooks water issues all around. A Maine burst in the city we‘re on a “boil your water warning” until further notice. 😑 1mo
Cuilin I‘m going to try the gym. First time in two years. 🤞 1mo
TheBookHippie @Cuilin 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 1mo
TheBookHippie @Cuilin yay for the gym!!!!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 1mo
TheBookHippie @ElizaMarie ENJOY YOUR DAY! 1mo
ElizaMarie @Bookwormjillk @Cullin @TheBookHippie - Springfield MA Art Museum - Wanted to see the exhibits “Witch Panic! Massachusetts Before Salem“ and “Yokai: Japanese Ghosts, Demons and Monsters“ (edited) 1mo
ElizaMarie @AllDebooks I didn't work the last few days at my full-time job, but.. All the staff were struggling; there was some sort of water break in the ER, and we were on diversion. And I was told it was horrendous! No regular bathroom use for 48hrs (they had to use the disposable liner toilets and all! 1mo
ElizaMarie @Cuilin Great!!! Super proud of you!!! Let us know how it goes! 1mo
TheBookHippie @ElizaMarie sounds amazing. I love art museums. 1mo
Cuilin @ElizaMarie the “boil water advisory” is still in effect for the whole city today. The second water test results should be known late this afternoon. 😩 I can‘t imagine what it‘s like at the hospital. 1mo
quietlycuriouskate Wimbledon, innit? I'm not good for much today: it's too damn hot and I've been up since 5 o'clock after a restless night. 1mo
AllDebooks @ElizaMarie oh I love a good museum or gallery visit. Enjoy. X 1mo
AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk a boat trip with fireworks does sound fun. I hope you enjoy it. X 1mo
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie that sounds awful. I hope you didn't have to wait too long. We're all sorted now, thankfully. 1mo
AllDebooks @Cuilin that's no fun. I hope it is sorted quickly. Well done for tackling the gym. How has your daughter settled into Ireland? Are you coping ok? X 1mo
AllDebooks @ElizaMarie OMG, that exhibition sounds AMAZING! 🖤🧙‍♀️👻😈👾🖤 1mo
AllDebooks @ElizaMarie Yikes, that is bad news! 1mo
AllDebooks @quietlycuriouskate I can't imagine playing tennis in this heat!! It's hot enough just watching Wimbledon on tv. Why is there such a focus on celebrity spotting this year? It's completely OTT. 1mo
TheBookHippie @quietlycuriouskate I‘ve been watching off and on. 1mo
TheBookHippie @AllDebooks waaaaay to much look who is here going on 1mo
TheBookHippie @AllDebooks still waiting … of course we need a new specific piece for a pipe… just a laugh riot… 1mo
DebinHawaii Got a bit of a late start today. Missing some sleep so I slept in then went to the “bring your bag & get 20%” sale at my local craft chain. Now I‘m hanging at the coffee shop working on getting cards out & trying to finish up the book for #CampLitsy. Hope all the plumbing issues get fixed & everyone has a good day & weekend.💛 1mo
