Picked up these from a Little Free Library on my way to ballet yesterday. I did 4 hours so I‘m a bit sore today. Might go for a dip in the ocean later to recover.

Jeg I love your energy. Wish I had even half .🙃 6mo
LapReader Thanks @Jeg. I wish I had more. 6mo

Return of the Library Dragon | Carmen Agra Deedy

My school year is off to a good start. I'm already 3 books in on a 3 day rotation. The Library Dragon is still a favorite. I hope everyone is doing well. I've been too busy to enjoy much social media.

Today is a rest and read day.
And doing the odd bit of washing kinda day.
I don't feel like being very sociable today so I'm staying in my room, 20 pages in on Nomadland it's not too bad. It's full of stories about why people choose van life some is for freedom and other's its about their financial situations.

This was an interesting take on financial freedom and retirement. It made me think i‘m a lot of ways but it was also a little repetitive and longer than it needed to be and the narration felt uneven. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 11mo
Julsmarshall @TheAromaofBooks I love kicking off the month with a short one! 11mo

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

1. I wanted to be a nurse, writer, gymnast (!), actress, teacher, and more! At various times, not all at once.
2. I‘m retired, but I‘m still looking for my own vine and fig tree.
3. Lately I‘ve discovered the Celtic Woman Pandora station, which has a nice blend of Enya, Lorena McKennitt, and similar artists.

This is a must read book for everyone regardless of where you are in your career or retirement. The purpose of this book is to make the most out of your life experiences, regardless of your income, and to challenge the messages we have been taught about retirement.

TheBookgeekFrau Stacked to read! I'm trying to give experience more value, esp by spending time with my 2yo granddaughter. But then things like a diabetic cat, an emergency tooth extraction, and the cost of eggs make me feel like I HAVE to work every moment I can 😣 1y
NatalieR @TheBookgeekFrau I hope you like the book and it gives you some ideas for how to best navigate more time with your granddaughter. 💜 I‘m sorry to hear about the unexpected stressors! ☹️ 1y
TheBookgeekFrau @NatalieR Thanks 😊 14mo
Suet624 Thanks for the recommendation. Found it on Hoopla. 14mo
NatalieR @Suet624 You‘re welcome! Glad you found it. I hope you enjoy! 😊 14mo

October #12booksin2022 I read Free Food for Millionaires this month too which I LOVED but this book BLEW MY MIND! People need to read more and stop being so crazy! Also public education, health care need to be fully funded for everyone! Enough of this American dream shit. Take care of each other, it‘s not weakness. It‘s community and society

Andrew65 Similar issues in the U.K. at the moment with lack of funding for education, health and social care, and just rank bad governance. 1y
mcctrish @Andrew65 the current premier in Ontario is systematically dismantling health and education at an alarming speed 1y
Andrew65 @mcctrish Yes so many similarities, our health service is on it knees and ready to collapse following 12 years of mismanagement and lack of funding. (edited) 1y
5feet.of.fury Agree. I loved the community and ingenuity of the people featured in this book… but then… why do we have this set up that it‘s the only way people can see to survive? And still bogged down with financial/healthcare stress 1y
mcctrish @5feet.of.fury yes exactly, I loved that they found their people and I know not everyone wants a house in one spot and the same job until they die but the conspiracy theorists and living off the grid to reduce costs shouldn‘t have to be someone‘s retirement plan 1y

Interesting story of a group of vandwellers and the movement overall. Book is five years old (and now a major motion picture) so I assume the movement is even more developed now as it is a changing culture. I enjoy learning about different ways of life and unique and interesting people.

Suet624 I thought the book was so powerful. The movie seemed to dilute much of the facts that I found so interesting. 1y
CRR @Suet624 I plan to see the movie sometime but the trailer doesn‘t seem as good as the book. Thank you. 1y
