monalyisha WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE NOT READING?
I work as a Children‘s Librarian; moonlight as a wedding officiant, creating custom rituals and ceremonies; and go for nature walks with my dog. Sometimes, I tap dance.

Donna1980 Beer and wasabi peas! Top tier choices 😊 5d
monalyisha @Prairiegirl_reading Looking for an officiant for my own wedding! We hired a woman who was a certified Life-Cycle Celebrant. She created rituals for us using coffee, wood rounds cut from different types of trees on her property, & all sorts of other fun details. I thought, “I could do that!” I have degrees in English Lit & Religious Studies, which seemed like a pretty tailor-made background. My husband is a wedding photographer, so it made sense! (edited) 5d
Prairiegirl_reading @monalyisha that‘s awesome! 5d
monalyisha @Prairiegirl_reading Thanks! I LOVE writing the ceremonies. Readers are naturally inclined to tell stories and imbue mundane objects with meaning and symbolism; it‘s fun and it comes easily. Standing before hundreds of their closest friends & family and delivering the finished product is a different thing altogether — and something I still find very nerve-wracking. In an ideal world, I‘d hand that part off to someone else. 😅 5d

Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays the Rent | Judi Dench, Brendan O'Hea

Pickpick

This was a delight. Brendan O‘Hea and Dame Judi cover her extensive work in numerous productions of Shakespeare‘s plays. In the audio, Judi recites famous lines from memory and her reminiscences are read by Barbara Flynn. Their discussions reveal a spirited kind woman in love with her craft and the words of the man who pays the rent. I am inspired to watch Judi‘s past performances. 4.5 ⭐️

Lynch on Lynch, Revised Edition | David Lynch, Chris Rodley

David Lynch has passed away at the age of 78. I know his movies weren't to everyone's taste, but I loved Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive and even his version of Dune. I remember being totally obsessed with Twin Peaks, until it all fell apart.

RowReads1 RIP! Twin Peaks rules! 3mo
The_Book_Ninja His Dune is a masterpiece 3mo
JessClark78 I heard this a little while ago. Broke my heart. I love Twin Peaks and his films. One of my all time favorite directors. 💔 3mo

I‘m just getting around to some thank you notes and wanted to say thank you @dabbe for this lovely holiday gift. I‘ve had it on my TBR and I‘m really looking forward to reading it. I have a whole Shakespeare shelf and this will be a wonderful addition. Thank you so much not just for this perfect gift but also for your friendship. 🤗 PS the candle smells divine.

Andrea313 What a beautiful gift! Popping in to say I hope you love the book- it was my favorite of my last year's reading. You have such a treat in front of you! 3mo
dabbe Yay! I adore my bookmarks and LADY MAC book, too! (I hope I already posted about that! My memory ain't what is used to be! 😂) And what a perfect thought for today's #25Alive ... #friendship 🤗 🩶🖤🩶 3mo
