so-so

This was a good thriller, if predictable. The storyline is told by travelling back in time, which makes for an interesting viewpoint but is a stretch.

Librarybelle Good Morning! It‘s a beautiful morning in South Central Pennsylvania. Today is chores in the morning followed by a fashion webinar hosted by Jane Austen‘s House (love that I can see evening programs in the UK in the afternoon here). I need to read the next Nancy Drew book this weekend, but I started this one to get back to the library on Monday, and it‘s such an important read…everyone should read this #HonestHistory #RealHistory

ShelleyBooksie Good morning! It's a rainy day here in my neck of the woods. Need to do some chores then I plan to write some #Litsylove and dip into the book Sleepless Nights by Canadian Author Pierre C Arsenault 6d

TheBookHippie Getting all my above ground gardening planters (25) ready to plant - it still freezes here overnight… I plant after May 20 generally. But first late brunch, coffee… my electric blanket died and it‘s hard for my joints to not have it before I sleep and before I get up. (RA) new one arriving today! Last two nights without it have been tough. 😵‍💫🫣😝 happy Saturday all! 6d

julieclair Didn‘t get to this one this month, but want to. Too many books… too little time… 2w

TheBookHippie I learned a lot from this read and I had the photography book of this- HUGE BOOK - so you could read and almost jump in the picture. I did read it in bits and I think that‘s the best way. Librarian said it was dry but I didn‘t feel that way. I found it informative. 2w

TheBookHippie lol look at the questions - I always found desert BORING and now I can see beauty- like I said having the massive pictures made you live in the photo and is brilliant way of understanding the author. Does the author like people? Maybe not. I don‘t think it matters. 🙃 could be me reading in it‘s been a bit much here in life. 2w

AllDebooks @julieclair I hear you x 2w

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie I bet the photos made a huge difference. I agree with your librarian. I read it in one sitting and got a little bored. Would be a better read by dipping in and out. I loved the botanical sections. 2w

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks Oh for sure the dipping in and out. Some of the photographs are just amazing my grandson and I read through it over 4 weeks I don‘t think it‘s meant to be a sit and read book. Then I agree it‘s a bit no thx 2w

Another Sunday evening approaches, so it's time for our weekly #HyggeHour readathon. Are you joining us for a weekly reset?
8-9 pm your time zone.

Nicholas Nickleby (Complete and) | Charles Dickens

Working through a backlog of Sunday newspaper supplements, I came across this great article, Is Dickens better than Shakespeare? 🤔

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/mar/02/is-dickens-better-than-shakespeare...

#WhatTheDickens @Cuilin

Cuilin That is such a good read, and there‘s definitely a case to be made. I think Dickens lived in a more free society and could write and be a little bit more on the nose than Shakespeare could during his time. Plus, I think modern readers can recognize/understand a Victorian time period more than an Elizabethan/Jacobean one perhaps 🤔 I would love to see one of those Oxbridge debates on this subject!! (edited) 4w

AllDebooks @Cuilin I don't think they are so comparable, due to the different time periods. I think Dickens characters are more defined between good and villainous. Shakespeare's characters are more nuanced, with both virtues and flaws. I love them both and wouldn't put one over the other. 4w

Ruthiella I definitely prefer Dickens because he‘s more accessible to me. Interesting article, thanks! 4w

Cuilin @AllDebooks True, I like both but for different reasons. 4w

AllDebooks Again, my apologies for missing last week. https://litsy.com/p/cWNXNzY0WDRn 4w

Librarybelle Good morning! It‘s almost 7am on the US East Coast, and I‘ll soon make the trek to the grocery store for weekly groceries, in hopes to beat the crowds. Today marks the 250th anniversary of the beginning of the US Revolutionary War, and I enjoyed reading Heather Cox Richardson‘s remarks about the events leading up to it. They reminded me that ordinary people can do amazing tiny things. I‘m also enjoying the Golden Girls cozy mystery:

Happy Saturday, EVERYONE! 🌈 4w

ElizaMarie @Deblovestoread Your day sounded so great! Did you end up going to the #HandsOff Protest? My husband and I flaked on the time. WE thought it started around 1 not ended around 1 :( 1mo

ElizaMarie @Cuilin It was!!! I ended up cleaning my mudroom. I am determined that Winter is over (I know it's not quite there yet, but soonish), So I started to clean my mittens, scarves, and hats and put a lot of that stuff away. Still gotta keep some winter-sh stuff out. But my mudroom was a dumping ground - so there was a ton to go through. 1mo

ElizaMarie @dabbe We got a lot done - organizing-wise. Not what we had planned. We wanted to go to the protest but flaked on the time. We ended up going to lunch, and then finishing our mudroom cleanout. 1mo

ElizaMarie @dabbe Awe - I hope Matt feels better soon. 1mo

Cuilin @ElizaMarie There‘s nothing like a little spring clean up. Just don‘t look at the weather forecasted for the next 10 days 🙈 and all will be well. 1mo

Deblovestoread @ElizaMarie I did go with two friends and it was amazing. Brought me to tears a couple of times. We were lucky to have a gorgeous day. One of the best things I‘ve ever done. 1mo

Deblovestoread @ElizaMarie I LOVE a good clean up day especially putting away winter stuff. 1mo

ElizaMarie @Cuilin It make me so mad!!! Also, I need to get my studs off my tires, which I think it would be “safe“ to set up an appointment in a week or two. 1mo

ElizaMarie @Deblovestoread I am so happy that you ended up going. I wish we were better at the timing, I saw pics of our town and the neighboring towns and it looks beautiful to see all the support out there. (It was rainy and ugly but there was a good turn out) 1mo

I've been having a Hygge kinda day, celebrating Mother‘s Day with my teens. 🍾
I'm not sure what I'll be reading tonight but I will definitely be continuing the hygge mood for our #HyggeHour Readathon.

Happy Mother's Day 💐

Are you joining us?

Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions | Gloria Steinem

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii

I'm a day late, but I wanted to join in. The last few months have been awful. However, the last few days, I've started feeling so much better. 🤞I'm out of the cycle of constant asthma flare-ups and chest infections.
My 5 joys are
1) 🌞📚☕️🐞🦋🐦‍⬛🦉
2) The dawn chorus
3) Gloria
4) It's Mother's Day tomorrow, thinking about my beautiful mum, gone for 22 years but never forgotten.
5) My aunt's gorgeous yellow magnolia

AllDebooks Yesterday was the one year anniversary of my aunt's untimely death. Her magnolia that she gifted to me is about to come into bloom. 💔🌸💔 2mo

Librarybelle ❤️❤️❤️ 2mo

Happy #Chatterday 🌞

It is a bloomin' gorgeous spring day. 🌞☕️🌞 I'm sitting in the garden with a coffee. And I actually feel really well today for the first time in months.

How is everyone today?

@Bookwormjillk @dabbe @Cuilin @kelli7990 @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @Catsandbooks

Bookwormjillk Happy Saturday! I'm so glad to hear you're feeling well. What a winter for you!

It's going to be a nice day here too. I'm doing some paperwork now, but planning on hitting a book sale in a bit then spending all the hours possible outside. I have a bunch of seeds I need to plant. 2mo

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk that sounds like my idea of a perfect day. Enjoy x 2mo

Cuilin So glad you‘re having a good day!! 💚We‘re having a winter storm warning till noon tomorrow. 😣 My body is still adjusting to new meds. I‘m going to see David Sedaris Sunday night!! Today will be mostly an indoor day. 📖 2mo

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk Wishing and hoping for spring weather here in New England. Enjoy! 2mo

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin hope it comes soon! We seem to have gone straight from winter to summer here. 2mo

AnnCrystal Glad you're feeling better 🙏🏼💝. 2mo

TheBookHippie @Cuilin Hope your body adapts soon!! It‘s winter here through April at least! 2mo

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk have fun!!! 📚📚📚 2mo

TheBookHippie I am achy today but I‘ve pushed a lot this week to be able to do things I want to do. Just tea and books! Spring arrives mid May here if we‘re lucky! 2mo

TheBookHippie Glad you‘re finally having a good day!!! Yay!! 2mo

quietlycuriouskate So glad you are feeling better! Mr K and I had a (necessary) fight, which turned into a deep conversation followed by a walk to the library. On balance it's good, but I'm feeling rather out of sorts ‘cause I hate it when my plans are derailed without warning. 2mo

dabbe Glad you're feeling good! 🤩 Pippa had a seizure yesterday, so we're staying in today and taking it easy. She usually needs a day off to recuperate, so books and dog cuddles! Hope everyone is having a lovely day. 🩵💙🩵 2mo

AllDebooks @Cuilin Oh wow, #fangirling Let us know what he was like 😀 2mo

AllDebooks @AnnCrystal thank you x 2mo

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie thank you. Make sure you're well rested. x 2mo

AllDebooks @quietlycuriouskate oh dear. Sometimes, it is necessary to clear the air and reach a resolution. I hope the rest of your day came good. X 2mo

AllDebooks @dabbe oh no, poor Pippa. Hope she's recovering and you're both making the best of a slow day x 2mo

BooksandCoffee4Me I love that phrase: “A bloomin‘ gorgeous spring day” 💛 2mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe awe poor pup! 2mo

TheBookHippie @quietlycuriouskate ♥️ 2mo

dabbe @AllDebooks TY! 🩵💙🩵 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie She is such a trooper! 🩵💙🩵 2mo

DebinHawaii So glad you are feeling well today! 💜 I‘m at the coffee shop for a bit catching up on reading & cards & relaxing after a busy week. Planning for a mellow weekend. 2mo

DebinHawaii @Cuilin I love David Sedaris! @dabbe I hope Pippa recuperates well! 💜 2mo

dabbe @DebinHawaii She's resting well today. Poor girl takes 24 pills a day to keep her epilepsy in check, and she still has at least one seizure a month. She's a brave girl. 🖤🐾🖤 2mo

AllDebooks @BooksandCoffee4Me ❤️🌸❤️ 2mo

AllDebooks @DebinHawaii I hope you had a restful weekend x 2mo

Kleptopia: How Dirty Money Is Conquering the World | Tom Burgis

My #Roll100 book choices for April. This year's sociopolitical theme is providing a very informative yet steep learning curve. Which is exactly what I needed.
