Europe Between the Wars | Martin Kitchen

#BookedInTime

Those who do not learn from history, are bound to repeat it!!

Thanks to @PathfinderNicole and @majkia among others for suggestion.

Amiable And unfortunately too often those of us who do know history still have to repeat it because of the uneducated. 😖 1w

julieclair Great theme! So many choices. I have updated the StoryGraph challenge, for those who are using it: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/f6f6ac21-909a-4d7e-9e1c-2084aab... 1w

rwmg I have been reading Frances Brody's Kate Shackleton series set in 1920s Yorkshire, so I may read the next one:

A Snapshot of Murder: The tenth Kate Shackleton Murder Mystery

Cuilin @julieclair thanks I‘ve updated mine. 1w

Cuilin @sblbooks sounds like a fabulous cozy read. 1w

Cuilin @rwmg I love the sound of the series. 1w

julieclair @rwmg Oh, I love the Kate Shackleton books, but haven‘t read any for awhile. Thanks for reminding me about them! 1w

After The Scream: The Late Paintings of Edvard Munch | Elizabeth Prelinger, Edvard Munch, High Museum of Art

Pastel on canvas,from exhibit at the MOMA(2013)My son & his elementary school cases manager used to squeeze their cheeks & open their mouths wide in imitation of this painting. So we picked up the behavior at home & ran with it. 😂

The Camomile: An Invention (Classic Reprint) | Catherine Carswell

😭My bargain $1.17 VMC was too good to be true. I flipped through the pages to discover a book heathen tore out pages 108-130. The seller offered a refund (which mournfully the $6 shipping was more than the price) or select another equally priced book from their site. So I‘ve ended up with this lovely Julia Chapman replacement. But I don‘t know what to do with my damaged copy. Any ideas? I can‘t bring myself to recycle bin a VMC…

julieclair Oh my.... who would do that? 🤷 It's a beautiful cover. Maybe frame it and set it on your bookshelf? 6mo

Jess_Read_This @julieclair That‘s a terrific idea. I think I will do that. I was really crushed when I saw the missing pages. I was able to find another (pricier) VMC copy but it‘s a Penguin VMC. Which I know I‘m just being picky at this point and ought to be glad to have a copy at all. 😆 I really like your idea to frame the cover. It would look great on my bookshelf! 6mo

rubyslippersreads Tearing out pages up is a travesty! 😡 6mo

IndoorDame So awful! Totally agree about the cover art! Also, I love trying blackout poetry with old books, but I feel terrible doing it even if I have beat up dimestore romances from goodwill, this would be the perfect thing to keep ripping pages out of for that or any other art projects. 6mo

Sace My jaw dropped when I read about the torn out pages. I‘m so sorry about your disappointment. 😢 6mo

LeahBergen Oh no!! 6mo

julieclair I love @IndoorDame ‘s idea about blackout poetry or craft projects. And if you do those and/or frame the cover, please share a pic. Turn 🍋into lemonade! 😘 6mo

Jess_Read_This @julieclair I will! I haven‘t had a chance to do anything with it yet. I‘ll have to google what blackout poetry is too 🤣 I‘m not the most crafty person. 5mo

Jess_Read_This @IndoorDame Thank you for the tips! I‘ll do some googling on the poetry and look for craft ideas too 5mo

Jess_Read_This @rubyslippersreads @Sace @LeahBergen Thank you for the commiserations. It was a true injustice to this book. 5mo

kwmg40 The removal of the pages is terrible! But the cover really is lovely and makes the book worth keeping. 5mo
