Good Things Come in Small Packages | Anne Mazer

I received my last #winterwitch package and my #Jolabokaflodswap package. @MittenGirlPeach @KadaGul @MaleficentBookDragon @BookwormAHN …..I will open them tomorrow seeing when I got home Cassian was still up and he has a low grade fever and just wants to be held by me.

TheBookHippie Hope he feels better soon. 1d

MrsGagnonreads2024 @TheBookHippie Thank you I think it is due to him getting his back molars in he is now fast asleep in his bed but he is my child if he does not feel good no one else can make him feel better only his MaMA which I am completely fine with seeing they are only little once. 1d

TheBookHippie @MrsGagnonreads2024 I do so agree. And my daughter, mid thirties, still calls me when she is sick 🙃♥️ 1d

@MrsGagnonreads2024 I'm really sorry 💔 to hear about your kid. Having molars removed ❌ can be quite painful 🤕🤒, but I hope 🤞 he recovers quickly. Wishing him all the best!
My apologies 💔 for the late delivery. I was told the package should arrive by Saturday at the latest. I know I was cutting it a little too close. 1d

MrsGagnonreads2024 @KadaGul He is growing them in but thank you and I am grateful for any packages arriving even if they come late seeing this time of year is crazy in the mail system. 18h

MittenGirlPeach I hope your little one is better today, and apologies for one of my #winterwitch packages being late! I forgot to put your card in it too. Gah. But I did write winterwitch on the package. The package from Amazon you received last week. Enjoy! 14h

The Christmas Guest | Peter Swanson

pick

I struggle to find Christmas books for the book club I host at work. This tiny novella fit the bill, and most of the group loved it. I thought it was fine for what it was, but I‘m not eager to recommend it. The setting alone makes the book: an English manor house complete with crackling fires, drunk relatives, a conservatory, and a short walk to a local pub. There‘s also diary entries from Christmas week years ago. Read as the snow was falling!

Journal of a Solitude | May Sarton

“The big question…is how to hope and what to hope *for.* We are citizens of a corrupt country, of a corrupt vision. There is such a sense of death and of being buried under the weight…How to… get hold of the essential… and above all, how to recognize the essential.”

From my reading this morning. I‘m checking in. There was a shooting at Brown University last night. My husband‘s charity cover show in PVD was canceled. He made it home safely. ❤️‍🩹

Amiable It‘s so mind-numbingly sad and heartbreaking.. Today is 13 years since the Sandy Hook shootings and we‘re still doing nothing as a country to prevent this. 2w

monalyisha @Amiable I agree whole (and broken) heartedly. 2w

AnnCrystal This normalcy of violence is unexceptionable 😢💝🫂💝. 2w

monalyisha @Amiable One of our senators (Tiara Mack, who is a shining gem) wrote about it in her newsletter today. Like me, she was also thinking about the kids who are calling and texting about their grief today instead of setting up dates with their friends to frolic in the snow. This might be the first snowfall for some of them, who came to New England for school from faraway climes, and now the magic will always be linked to tragedy. It‘s so wrong. 2w

AmyG At this point if you vote for the party that doesn‘t care….you support this. It‘s unconscionable. 2w

JenReadsAlot Just heartbreaking yet again... 2w

kspenmoll It‘s horrific. All of it. Our nation‘s inability to understand it is guns that are killing our children. 2w

dabbe And if I see or hear one more politician say “Our prayers are with“ .... I'll frickin' go ballistic. We don't need your prayers. We need gun laws, you idiots. And now a shooting in Australia as well. I just can't anymore. 💔 2w

CBee No words here - just profound sadness. Very glad your husband made it home safely 💚 2w

Amiable @monalyisha I saw an interview with the Brown student who also witnessed the shooting at Parkland. She‘s 20 years old and has now survived not one but TWO school shootings. WTF are we doing?? 2w

monalyisha @Amiable How do you get over that sense that you are not safe — and that nobody cares? 2w

ncsufoxes My son is at URI. He was studying in the library when they announced what was happening at Brown (since it isn‘t really that far away). He packed up & went to his dorm. He said that he felt safer in his dorm. The sad realization is that said to me “if the gunman in an off chance came here I‘d rather be in my dorm.” Isn‘t a sad statement that our kids have to plan escape routes & where the safest place is? Instead of fully focusing on studying. 1w

ncsufoxes He also pointed out that URI posts their exam schedules online & he wondered if they do the same thing at Brown. It‘s just so sad, frustrating, & horrific every time it happens. He‘s 6-7 hours away from us & I worry constantly about something like this happening. 1w

ncsufoxes @Amiable my son went through a school lock down when he was in high school. A student brought a screwdriver to school & tried to harm himself. That was scary to be texts from the school for the duration of the incident as they kept updating us what was happening. They treated the lock down like an active shooter. I‘m sure that incident plays back in my son‘s mind at a moment like yesterday. 1w

monalyisha @ncsufoxes That must be scary, to have him far from you. 💓 1w

Of Walking In Ice: Munich - Paris: 23 November - 14 December, 1974 | Werner Herzog

so-so

Herzog's diary of his three-week walk from Munich to Paris to visit his dying friend, the film critic Lotte Eisner. This could have been a low pick. I've always loved Herzog's eye for the dismal and his bleak, deadpan observations, but I admit I found my mind wandering at times. It reads exactly like what it is - a personal journal, not originally intended for publication - and can feel rambling and unfocused.
