April‘s #DoubleSpin is clear—and is also my #44 pick for #50x50. For my #BookSpin, I get to pick a book published in the 1950s—70s for #192025. Above are the three I‘m thinking about… any recommendations?

Suet624 Yay for Anam Cara. I‘ve only read A Separate Peace (as a teenager) out of the three and I liked it. (edited) 7d
TheBookHippie I like them all 👀🤫🙃 7d
BarbaraJean @Suet624 I'm really looking forward to Anam Cara. It's been on my list for so long and it's nice to have the “assignment“ to read it! @TheBookHippie Good news is I'll be reading them all at some point before the end of the year!! 7d

TheBookHippie @BarbaraJean literal DECADES since my reading of them 😂 7d
TheAromaofBooks Oh Black Sheep is one of my favorite Heyer romances!! 6d
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Oh, that‘s good to know! I‘ve been leaning toward Black Sheep anyway because I‘m pretty sure that will be a nice escapist read—the other two, not so much 😆 6d

“Every day we awake with a certain amount of mental, emotional, and physical energy that we spend throughout the day. If we allow our emotions to deplete our energy, we have no energy to change our lives or to give to others.”

I don‘t know exactly why I‘m reading this. It‘s heavily religious (and anti-materialist). I‘m not religious in this kind of way at all. But it appeared. A selection of quotes for each day. So I‘ve been page through, trying to catch up to today.

#MentalHealthMonday

I was doing pretty good yesterday. We had a family dinner Sunday night to celebrate hubby‘s birthday and that good feeling lasted until I saw reports of ICE being in our town and the next one over. These were citizen posts and vitriol that came out was disturbing. I haven‘t found any concrete info to verify validity yet.

This morning woke up to mass firings at my husband‘s company. The manufacture metals and EM & Space X ⬇️

Deblovestoread Are customers. So far it is safety and environmental departments that are cleaned out. Sh*t is getting real and scary. Husband is union but doubt that is any sort of protection at this point. Just trying to breathe and not go into catastrophizing this situation. 2mo
Deblovestoread I don‘t really do self help books but the tagged book helped me years ago. Might be time to bring it out again. 2mo
TheBookHippie Sending light. ICE is here as well, and nasty, they are very happy they don‘t have rules anymore. BREATHE. 2mo

ImperfectCJ It's not awesome right now, that's for sure. Waiting for the other shoe to drop (and wondering how many shoes there are) is nerve-wracking. Sending you a deep breath. Hopefully you can find something beautiful to bring you a bit of solace. 2mo
AnnCrystal 😢🫂 scary times 🙏💝. 2mo
Ruthiella ❤️❤️❤️ 2mo
AmyG It‘s all so frightening. 2mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie @Deblovestoread My “like“ is in total support of YOU both and your towns against this abomination. Stand strong. ❣️👊🏻❣️ (edited) 2mo
KadaGul Is there a country welcoming those distressed by Trump's leadership, offering a compassionate standard of living, embracing diversity, and providing meaningful benefits? I'm truly hoping to find such a place. 2mo
bthegood @Deblovestoread @TheBookHippie @ImperfectCJ @AnnCrystal @Ruthiella @AmyG @dabbe @KadaGul - My heart goes out to you and your husband Debra. One of my colleagues, on the board of Annunciation House (their stated mission “Accompanying the migrant, refugee, and economically vulnerable people of the border“) is going to El Paso with 12 students over the break to work at Annunciation House - there is good in the world - find the light.

CoverToCoverGirl @KadaGul Canada is such a place but he is taking aim at us too. I‘m horrified for the entire human race. 😢 2mo
