'Behold: Kali Tragus, the Russian thistle.'
Making slow progress through this one, yet it's a steady one with much pleasure. So far, it's fabulous.
A dark modern fantasy steeped in Yiddish folklore, a road trip through the vastness of the USA and the heritage, myths and memories of its immigrants.

Welp this book has me by the throat!! I can‘t get away from the story. Unlike the previous book by this author of a reimagined fairy tale, this book is based off a story of a disciple of Hecate and how myth and truth are woven together to tell the stories of a time before internet. This magical story with real life reference and even more practical responses to magic is amazing. #poc #woc #magical #ny #plants #wlw #lgbtq #hecate #greece #legacy
pickI am just a puddle of feelings. What a delightful, bittersweet read. 😭🥺💖 #theansweris #alextrebek #jeopardy #memoir #legend #legacy #gameshowhost #quizshow #pancreaticcancer #cancersucks
Yup. (Honestly, y‘all, this is the best and I‘m not going to sleep until I finish it.) 🥺💖😭 #theansweris #alextrebek #jeopardy #legend #legacy #gameshowhost #pancreaticcancer #cancersucks #memoir #partofthefamily #nightlyritual #gameshow #quizshow #trivia #restinpeace
I am just so charmed and so sad but also so grateful that we were lucky enough to have Alex. 🥺💖 I got to be in the audience for a taping of the College Championship about a decade ago, and it was easily one of the coolest experiences ever. #theansweris #alextrebek #jeopardy #legend #legacy #gameshowhost #pancreaticcancer #cancersucks
I‘m sad already. 😭 (Alex‘s last episode, and the post-show tribute, DESTROYED me.) Like so many others, I grew up watching Jeopardy, and playing along every night at 7pm with my parents and my grandpa, so Alex‘s passing was kind of like losing a member of the family. Rest easy, Mr. Trebek, and thank you for making the world a little bit smarter. 💖 #theansweris #alextrebek #legend #legacy #jeopardy #gameshowhost #pancreaticcancer #cancersucks

I loved this novel, my husband hated it because I got so absorbed I literally didn't hear him when he tried to interrupt me.

pickJust finished this gem tonight. I had doubts, but I am so thankful that I gave it another chance. Cissie, Frankie, Jinx, and Becca, all Frances Rebecca‘s, the first borns. Their legacy, their lives, their struggles, and their triumphs. The web of intricacy and deceit that is woven to handle the complexity of powerful people. And the gorgeous tapestry that results, a tangle in the back. #recentlyread #familydrama #nospoilers #legacy
pick⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I CANNOT recommend this book highly enough because Gunderson helps put money in it's proper perspective. He pulls the scary mask off money and shows you how exciting and possible understanding money can be. Yes, this book will stretch your mind but your perspective will be much better off for it. Even if you don't follow all his steps, you will have a better grasp of finances after.
