Now this one is specifically about the Fourth of July & makes a point of being inclusive.

Also going with your family to watch the fireworks together in a community spirit so that‘s nice. 🇺🇸

Also a The Book Drop recommendation.

#JulyJazz Day 11: #RedWhiteBlueCover #RedWhiteBlueCovr in tagged book included in the Jane Addams children‘s book award in 2024 - which recognizes outstanding books on peace, social justice, global community, and equity for all people. Found the image above on social media announcing the winners.

Chrissyreadit I love this!!! I am so disturbed by the areas with book banning and love that the Brooklyn library is offering digital access nationwide to teens and kids to combat book bans. 1mo

1. Waterfall in my favorite spot in Botanic Garden.
2. Just back from Kopp‘s in Milwaukee. Amazing birthday cake ice cream flavor with actual pieces of yellow cake in it!
3. We think we finally got rid of the family of raccoons that were living under the deck.
4. Husband had two biopsies of strange growths on his skin, turned out ok.
5. Planning annual trip to Seattle to visit my son, going overnite to Leavenworth.

AmyG Glad your husband is ok. 😬 And racoons….we had a mom give birth in our attic. Be happy they are under the deck. And gone! 1mo
peaKnit Yay! We are headed to Brookfield shortly for the same! Glad your husband‘s biopsies were okay! 1mo
Lesliereadsalot @AmyG Wow! In the attic? Sounds like a nightmare. Thanks for your kind thought. 1mo

Lesliereadsalot @peaKnit two thanks: one for the kind thought and one for the ice cream recommendation. Enjoy your big scoop! PS I would‘ve had a cone but I had a hamburger too. 1mo
peaKnit Oh yum, their hamburgers are so good but also super sized! Definitely might get in the way of dessert :) 1mo
MemoirsForMe Happy to hear your husband is well! I used to live in Milwaukee. How did I not know about Kopp‘s? 😋 1mo

julieclair What a lovely way to spend the morning! Thanks for sharing that interesting article. And, I‘ve stacked Common Sense. Haven‘t read it since high school. I think it‘s high time for a re-read! 1mo

GingerAntics I had a student come in with an essay claiming that Thomas Paine argued that Americans should eat Irish children and how horrible people were in colonial times for doing this… the kid was assigned to read Common Sense and a Modest Proposal and was supposed to write about the power of political pamphlets as persuasive writing. My head hurts again just typing this. Clearly he didn‘t understand satire or that he read two different pamphlets. (edited) 1mo
kspenmoll @GingerAntics OMG!!!!!😱🤯😳🤦🏼‍♀️ 1mo
GingerAntics @kspenmoll yeah! I was SO confused when I was reading his paper because I kept thinking Common Sense doesn‘t even mention Irish children… it doesn‘t even use those two words. It wasn‘t until I asked to see the instructions that I figured out what happened. 1mo
GingerAntics @kspenmoll he also would not believe me that A Modest Proposal was satire. He insisted that one of the many atrocities of the British colonists was cannibalism, mainly of Irish children. He somehow concluded that Irish children must have tasted better and been more beef like. 🤯🤦🏼‍♀️🥃 1mo

I think I finally have my July #bookspin list completed. I can‘t wait to see the bingo board. I‘m hoping to have extra reading time with a 3-day weekend and at least one day off work for a doctor appointment, because there‘s a lot on here that I really want to read.

This summer is absolute chaos in my household. Three kids moving in August (one across town into his first house, one to NYC post college graduation, & one into a college dorm), college orientation, dorm shopping, and helping out with dog sitting because my daughter is triple booked. Here‘s hoping I have time to actually read and that my reading is able to help me through! 😵‍💫🫠❤️📚

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Although it sounds like you'll be lucky to find time to breathe, much less read! 😂 2mo
Elizabeth2 @TheAromaofBooks literally taking it one day at a time at this point. If I think too far ahead I get stressed out and things are constantly changing so what‘s the point?! 😂 2mo

Repost for @TheAromaofBooks

Oh my gosh, there is only one week of June left! Which means we are only one week away from being HALF WAY THROUGH 2025! If you‘re planning to spin in July it‘s time to start thinking about your list. See @TheAromaofBooks ‘s original post for details about the end of year giveaway.

TheAromaofBooks Thank you for the repost!! 2mo
