#LuckyInLove Day 25: If you are looking for stories about #SoulMate(s), you can never go wrong with the Griffin and Sabine trilogy. 7 books now in the entire series. Here is Fats‘ review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-BY - I invite you, though, to not just read the post but the comments too. Very intriguing.

Eggs Excellent 👌🏼 2mo
marleed I love this series and can never see myself parting with my books - I have all but one in the series! 2mo

Just in time before the start of #scarathlon, my last two #litsylove postcards are going out today! It was fun sending a quick hello to everyone (I hope my system didn't break down and miss someone), and I look forward to getting to know people better with full letters 😁

ShelleyBooksie Beautiful! 7mo
Kimzey Thanks for the moose postcard! 7mo

At times, this was hard to read - Franny goes through so much & it takes most of the book to piece together what‘s happened to her. It can be frustrating to read, as you don‘t have all the pieces to make sense of until the end. This will irritate some (maybe most) readers.
I really liked it though, maybe because I listened to the audio rather than giving it a straight read? In any case I enjoyed this one and it‘s echoes of Moby Dick very much.

sarahbarnes I loved this one. 8mo
batsy Intriguing! Nice review. I know @BarbaraBB recommended this to me when I was looking for more climate fiction. I haven't read Moby Dick so maybe I will read that first and then this 🤓 8mo
BarbaraBB @batsy That sounds like a plan 😀 I guess I also recommended the tagged one?! 8mo

batsy @BarbaraBB Yes you did! 😁 8mo
Aimeesue @batsy Ot might be interesting to read them back to back. I read MD so long ago that I only caught the major resonances; I‘m not sure it goes deeper than chasing the metaphorical white whale and enigmatic sea folk. 😁 But if it does map more closely, I can‘t remember! (edited) 8mo
Aimeesue @BarbaraBB ˆWhales begin sinking ships." Wow, not even fiction these days between the orcas and the sea otters! Stacked! 8mo
batsy @Aimeesue Oh, cool! It gives me a reason to tackle MD because I meant to last year, and the year before last 😆 8mo

I won a giveaway from Your Adventure Awaits…A Bookish Journey of their Pick Your Fate bundle. The book I received - Consensual Hex - sounds interesting and I haven't heard of it before. 😃

Oh my gosh, y'all, my entire heart goes out to Hawaii and everyone being impacted by the tragedy happening right now in Maui and beyond. I can't even begin to imagine 💔

@DebinHawaii - I hope you're ok and am sending love and light to you and your nearest and dearest ❤️

I've made donations and wanted to share some organizations in case anyone feels compelled:
www.hawaiicommunityfoundation.org/maui-strong AND https://mauifoodbank.org/donate/

DebinHawaii Mahalo @swishandflick for your kind words & donations. I‘m safe on Oahu but we are still trying to get confirmation on our Lahaina retail location & more importantly our employee-owners there. 💔These links are good ones for anyone looking to help. I‘ll post more & an update as the day goes on. 9mo
TheBookHippie @DebinHawaii woke up thinking of you. 9mo
dabbe @DebinHawaii ... saw the NYT and instantly thought of you. Sending hugs. 🤗🤗🤗 9mo

squirrelbrain Glad you‘re OK @DebinHawaii. How are you @Hooked_on_books ? I think you‘re on a different island too (I hope)? 9mo
Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain Yes, I‘m safe on the Big Island and well away from the fires here. I was down in Hilo yesterday and this is all anyone is talking about. I knew Lahaina fairly well and seeing the photos today with the smoke cleared, it‘s unrecognizable. Utter devastation. I‘m still in shock. Thanks for checking on me. 9mo
DebinHawaii @TheBookHippie @swishandflick @dabbe @squirrelbrain Thank you for your kind words & care—I appreciate it so much. I just posted an update. 9mo
DebinHawaii @Hooked_on_books Glad you are away from the fires there. Scary stuff. On a lighter note, I was in Hilo yesterday too. One of these days we need to meet up for coffee or lunch or something as I am/will be there more regularly for work. 9mo
swishandflick So glad you both are ok! ❤️ @DebinHawaii @Hooked_on_books 9mo
Hooked_on_books @DebinHawaii I‘m usually down there once a week on Wednesday or Thursday and would love to meet up. If you ever have a day when you have some extra time, you could come up and see the farm. We‘re between Mt View and Volcano, about a half hour drive outside Hilo. 9mo
DebinHawaii @Hooked_on_books I would love that. A lot of times I‘m there for day trips but when I have a two day, I‘d love to see the farm. I‘ll keep you posted on my upcoming schedule. 💚 9mo

I‘m still working on the translation of this. Does anyone have any clue. I think part of it says good luck.

Purpleness My German is super rusty, and I always have trouble with the old fashioned print, but what I can get is “…I have forgotten/…/but I wish from my heart/ truly, truly lots of luck!” Sorry, I really can‘t get the second line at all. If someone else gives you a different translation, go with theirs; it‘s been years since I took German. 9mo
Lcsmcat Have you asked @julesG ? 9mo
quirkyreader @julesG Do you want to take a go at this one? 9mo

quirkyreader @Lcsmcat thank for reminding me of Jules 9mo
julesG I'm trying to help. It's in a Bavarian dialect. 9mo
julesG I am trying to stick to the original wording: My present I have forgotten, my rose is bent, but from my heart I wish you, much much luck. 9mo
quirkyreader Thank you @Purpleness and @julesG for your help. Now I know why I was having issues with the translation. 9mo

Vintage post card that was sent to my family from Wiesbaden. I‘m trying to figure out what it says. Any High German speakers who can help puzzle this out?
