Bookwormjillk Up early to drive my son to work them coming home to drink all the tea and read all the books. Shopping with my daughter later. 1d

Sace I confess I started my week in an irritable mood despite having Monday off. The skies were gray and I had been people-ing too much. I‘m feeling better now. My only plans today are grocery shopping, haircut, lunch and reading. 1d

Read4life We‘re still in the USVI taking care of my father in law. There was no change with him this week. We were able to get to the beach 4 days this week. This weekend we‘re going to spend time with my mother in law and her husband. In spite of the stressful reason we‘re here, we are getting some wonderful time with family. 1d

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk a perfect day. What are you reading? 1d

AllDebooks @Sace sounds tough but at least you can have a pamper day indulging in what you want to do. Enjoy x 1d

AllDebooks @Read4life I'm so sorry. Sending love x 1d

AllDebooks I'm hibernating today, with a stack of books. It's so cold today ❄️ 1d

Bookwormjillk @AllDebooks a very long Udolpho chapter then back to

The Break

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk I'm working up to that. 😅 Atm, I'm completely absorbed in

Withered Hill: A dark and unsettling British folk horror novel

DogMomIrene It‘s been raining and will keep raining here for next several days, so I‘m prepped for some doggy snuggles with my ebook. And audiobook time when we go downstairs to the basement to play some indoor fetch. 1d

Daisey I‘ve got another weekend at home full of fall projects and school work. I also hope to fit in some good reading time. 1d

AllDebooks @DogMomIrene 🐾 Sounds lovely 🐾 1d

AllDebooks @Daisey wishing you a creative, productive weekend. 1d

TheBookHippie @DogMomIrene rain here too every single day. Although it‘s usually snow! 1d

TheBookHippie @Read4life sending love. 1d

TheBookHippie Just trying to catch up on rest. I‘ve not slept much in 10 days. 1d

Read4life @TheBookHippie Thank you! 💙 Sending some positive vibes your way. I hope you can get some good sleep soon. ❤️ 1d

Read4life @AllDebooks 💙💙💙 1d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie yikes, that's bad. Hope you catch up on some 💤 soon x 1d

Faranae A week of insomnia, so I'm way behind on everything, but at least my stream reading has been going great (although an entire 30 minutes of my silly Don Quixote voice has left my vocal cords shredded oops). Going to try to get the two last Amelia Edwards stories I need to finish this weekend for the epub I'm making. Also skimming the diary of Gideon Mantell. 1d

DogMomIrene @TheBookHippie I‘d love snow, but we just got some flurries that didn‘t stick😮‍💨 Hope you get some sleep! 1d

Time for a much needed #SaturdayChatterday

Well, what a week it's been for everyone. How are you feeling? This is a safe space to chat about whatever is on your mind.
All welcome to join in.

@Catsandbooks @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @Librarybelle @IndoorDame @Cuilin @dabbe @BarkingMadRead @Eggs

AllDebooks I've taken refuge in books this week. The real world has been too much. 1w

Librarybelle I found I wanted to read last night, which it‘s been a few days since I really could. There‘s been a lot on my mind, and Heather Cox Richardson‘s post this morning puts it into words so eloquently. She‘s an amazing political historian who bases everything she says on facts and history. But, this weekend is usual routines, with Sunday being a family get together. These checkins are so nice. Thank you! ❤️ 1w

Bookwormjillk Happy Saturday. I have a busy week next week so I have to do some prep this weekend. I also have been doing some research for books to read next year which is fun. 1w

Cuilin What a week! there‘s never been a time in my life where I prefer audiobooks to reading, but I did this week. All I wanted to do was curl up and listen to David Copperfield‘s life. Today I‘m going Providence RI to get my daughter for the long weekend. 1w

Cuilin @Librarybelle H Cox Richardson is amazing. 1w

DogMomIrene @Librarybelle @Cuilin I may need to suck it up and subscribe/pay for H Cox Richardson‘s substack. @Suet624 mentioned her to me. I‘ve tried Substack before and was overwhelmed by the number of emails I received. Wondering what you all would say the average read time is for her posts? Under ten minutes? Like could I make her a daily morning read with coffee? And then continue coffee with Litsy time (obviously 😉) 1w

Cuilin @DogMomIrene I follow her on TikTok. 1w

Suet624 @DogMomIrene @Librarybelle - I've followed Heather for years. You can read her on Facebook but the simplest method is subscribing on Substack. You don't have to pay for it if you don't want to. She is also doing an audio version if you're interested in that. It comes out later in the day. Did you see the post she wrote the day after the election? And her posts generally take less than 10 minutes to read. 1w

Librarybelle @DogMomIrene @Suet624 @Cuilin I just started following her on FB, after reading the reposts friends would do! I also heard her speak a few weeks ago at a virtual event, and I was struck by how articulate and knowledgeable she is. I have her books and really need to read them. I agree with @Suet624 …it takes me less than 10 minutes to read her posts. 1w

AllDebooks @Librarybelle How have I never heard of her? I'll be checking out her posts. Thank you. Knowledge is power! Honestly, these #chatterdays are a blessing and it's so much fun to check in. 1w

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk it's always fun to plan future reads. I hope your prep gies well. 1w

AllDebooks @Cuilin Same! I've found them better at quietening the mind. And I've certainly needed that. Enjoy your long weekend and have a safe trip. 1w

AllDebooks @DogMomIrene I've just followed her FB page 1w

AllDebooks I have to say Litsy has been a lifeline this week. I've avoided other socials and news, cos it was too much. I've never felt so overwhelmed. The love and compassion of Littens has been a source of comfort. I've never known on an online community that is so supportive of each other. Thank you #Littens 😊 1w

TheBookHippie @DogMomIrene it‘s under 10 and her daily letter is free. https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/november-8-2024 1w

AllDebooks I'm spending the weekend on planning #MidwinterSolace I think we're really going to need it. And it will run thru Dec and Jan again. ❄️❤️❄️ 1w

TheBookHippie Well considering people I love and even some on here voted against my being it‘s 😵‍💫. The people being really quiet because they don‘t dare say hate out loud and actually do know how dangerous it is now for me, and my students especially, (and a large population of people that live in the US) is hard to digest. I‘m not trying to be divisive. It‘s truth. So I‘m grappling with that this morning. (edited) 1w

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks 💙💙💙💙💙 1w

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie I couldn't sleep last night after reading Project 2025 earlier in the day. 1w

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks I read it long ago. It‘s terrifying. 1w

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie it really is. I'd readnewspaper reports but the actual document is so much more sinister abd divisive 1w

DogMomIrene @Suet624 @Cuilin @Librarybelle @AllDebooks @TheBookHippie Thank you Littens! I‘m following her on Substack with notifications through the app only, which will pair nicely with some Litsy coffee time while keeping my email a little less jumbled. Already read her 11/8 post and I‘m all in. 1w

Suet624 @DogMomIrene 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 1w

Suet624 @TheBookHippie Ugh. I know. Thank you for sharing the truth. 1w

kspenmoll Litsy has been my safety net. Taking it easy after election fallout. Talking with like minded friends has helped. Just reading & walking today. Nature soothes me. Trying to keep the terror at bay. 1w

dabbe Thanks for the tag, @MaleficentBookDragon. 😘 I just have to say it: what a fucking week. I also picked a great week to have a dental implant removed--plus finding out I had a pretty bad infection. Just the cherry on the banana split that reeks of mold. But ... the sun keeps rising, and the earth keeps spinning. And this is a place of solace and healing. Thanks, Littens. #onedayatatime 💙 1w

Catsandbooks Feeling overwhelmed, enraged, and exhausted. Been watching a lot of hallmark Christmas movies. My plan for the rest of the year is to really lean into all things comfort and cozy. I just wanna stay in and not deal with people. 1w

Legends & Lattes: A Novel of High Fantasy and Low Stakes | Travis Baldree

so-so

This was cute but I didn‘t love it that much. It was just okay for me. I know a lot of people loved this one, but I don‘t know if I would continue through the series. It was fun for one book but not sure if I want to go to the next one.

marleed I feel like I should have left this series as a first book stand alone, as well. 1w

A Secret History of Coffee, Coca & Cola | Ricardo Cort�s

I have a shelf full of #coffee cups but often end up just using the same one over and over. Last Christmas my brother-in-law gave me a mug from a place they had visited in the summer on vacation, and that became my go-to cup.

Sunday night my husband called the VP a rude name.

I left my go-to mug in the car Tuesday, so I think I‘ll switch over to this one for a while.

#DaysDevotedTo

2nd trip of the week, to Maui for the day to help my HR Manager with open enrollment & visit some locations. The flight is earlier than Hilo which means I‘m a bit too early for the lounge & so I am having a lap picnic breakfast in the boarding area. Todays is the new turkey sage Danish (tastes like stuffing) & a sugar cookie oatmilk latte, so a little #Coffee/Tea to start the day. Still working on my ARC

Kenyazero

Cat's Cafe: A Comics Collection | Matt Tarpley

As an LGBTQIA+ woman with queer, trans, and nonbinary family and friends, Muslim family, family at risk of pregnancy complications, and other at risk friends and family, as a person invested in education and literacy, as a person who wants marginalized communities to be safe and thrive... And so many other factors, it's been high emotions for the last few days. Mostly fear, sorrow, and anger. But also determination to keep making (...)

Kenyazero (...) a difference, taking positive strides forward, and creating and elevating beauty in the world. I picked Cat's Cafe for this post because its creator posted a video explaining that she made these comics in response to the 2016 election to bring something positive and uplifting into the world. 1w
