This word came up in my last read (Saltwater 🙌🏻🙌🏻). It would be so fun to ride one of these! 😊
Here‘s an article about some well-known funiculars around the world: https://www.treehugger.com/fabulous-funiculars-from-around-the-globe-4863745

RaeLovesToRead I've been on funiculars! There was a small one in Scarborough. The biggest I've been on (I think) was Lake Como. Do you have them in the US? 5h
RaeLovesToRead Ok the ones in the article are enormous! I've not been on one that big!!!!! 5h

CBee @RaeLovesToRead we do! Not sure how many, but there‘s one a couple hours from me that I might have to check out! 5h
TheBookHippie I‘ve been on a few and I‘ve been on the Lookout Mountain one, seen the LA one. There‘s one at our zoo it‘s a riot ! 4h
peanutnine A funicular was mentioned in my last read as well! What are the odds! These seem so cool, I want to ride one! 4h
ImperfectCJ The article missed this one, which is the one that taught me the word. (Until then, I just called them all trams, which is clearly wrong.): https://www.quebec-cite.com/en/businesses/funiculaire-du-vieux-quebec 4h
Bookwormjillk I rode one in Pittsburgh. Kind of fun and scary at the same time. 3h
CBee @TheBookHippie if you ever ever ever get back down to Chattanooga, you better let me know. I‘m like two hours from there! 2h
CBee @peanutnine small world! I sort of thought it sounded like a body part - like part of the spine or something 😆 2h
CBee @ImperfectCJ oooo how cool! 2h
CBee @Bookwormjillk I want to visit the one on Lookout Mountain now. 2h
Bookwormjillk @CBee I bet that's pretty! 2h

Holy sugar snaps, Batman!! This was seriously so good. A whole gaggle of extremely unlikable people, set mostly on the island of Capri (which has its own unique and horrific history - I‘m looking at you, Tiberius). Plus, not one, but two ending twists that totally blew my mind. Phew 😅

I love stream of consciousness writing, it can be so therapeutic.
#haikuaday (or maybe every other day 😂) #haikuhive

TheSpineView I have never written anything in a stream before. Maybe I should give it a try because I find journaling hard and therefore not relaxing. 💛🐝😘 5d

CBee @TheSpineView if you just write, not worrying about punctuation or any other “rules,” it can be really freeing and helpful. You should try and see 😊 5d

Eggs Absolutely agree 💯 Love the haiku AND the background❣️ 5d
Reggie I like this so much. I felt like I fell into the water after that last line. 5d
CBee @Eggs it was meant to be because the background is a PicCollage collection called “haiku patterns” 😊 5d
CBee @Reggie thank you! I feel like that‘s what I meant to convey - sort of a letting go and being free. But be sure you have a life jacket 😂 5d

Today‘s #weirdwords choice could make you hungry, or make you feel ill, depending on how you feel about peas 🫛😂 #weirdwordwednesday

CatLass007 Great word! I hate canned peas but I love snow peas. 1w
See All 23 Comments
CatLass007 Good morning! 1w
CBee @CatLass007 good morning! I grew up on canned peas but once I tried fresh, I never wanted canned again! Same with asparagus! 1w
CatLass007 My Mom used to tell a story that I don‘t remember happening but it sounds like me. When I was in daycare we couldn‘t get up from the lunch table until we cleaned our plates. When Mom came to pick me up after she got off work, I was still sitting at the table eating my peas. With. My. Knife. One. Pea. At. A. Time.🤣 1w
Bookwormjillk These are fresh in my garden now and my daughter can‘t get enough. I‘ll have to let her know. 1w

BookmarkTavern Yum! I love sugar peas! 7d
CBee @CatLass007 wow, that is some serious dedication to peas 😂😂 7d
CBee @Amiable ha! I do okay. My husband says I pronounce German fairly well which is a major feat 😂 7d
CBee @dabbe perfect 🤩 7d
Amiable @CBee German is way easier for me — my husband jokes that I inherited the “German gargle” from my ancestors because I can pronounce those harsh sounds much better than the French ones! 😄 7d
CatLass007 More like serious dedication to no peas.😝😂😂 7d
CBee @Amiable ha! The German gargle 😂😂 I‘ll have to tell hubby this 7d
CBee @CatLass007 true. I think that was what I meant actually 😂🤪 7d
CatLass007 I figured. It‘s weird. I like split pea soup. But it has flavor and canned peas just don‘t. 7d

These little wrens are some of our favorite birds. I discovered a pair building a nest in a hanging plant - so far, no eggs, but apparently they build multiple nests and then choose the best one. Still hopeful! Such spunky little friends. #haikuaday #haikuhive

CBee @BooksandCoffee4Me now, hummingbirds are my absolute favorite! I would die if they were nesting where I could see it.

Raising Hare: A Memoir | Chloe Dalton

Oh, how I loved this. It‘s described as a part memoir, part natural history, part manifesto (loosely quoted from the interview between the narrator Louise Brealey and the author - a bonus if you listen to the audio). So much beauty packed into a short book, and I wished for more. A favorite of the year thus far, 100%.

willaful That's perfect, because I'm really stressed and burnt out and need to free myself from reading obligations and just figure out what I *want* to read this month. 3w
Meshell1313 Oh what a twist! Lol. I‘ll make my prompt the one I‘ve been saving this book for: read a book with a place in the title! 3w
CatLass007 So many books, so little time. I believe I will read 3w
OriginalCyn620 One of my favorite prompts is a book with a movie/tv series adaptation, so I shall read this one! 3w
Ruthiella I‘m going to make my prompt “read a nonfiction book”. I have two possibilities for May. 3w
MatchlessMarie The prompt I made was “a book you have delivered later 3 or more times” 💀 I am still deciding because sadly I have a lot to choose from lol 3w
ChelseaM6010 I‘ll be reading 3w

CBee @OriginalCyn620 oh yay! Don‘t know why I haven‘t thought of that prompt. Mind if I use it for a future #TBRtarot? 3w
CBee @Ruthiella look forward to seeing what you choose! 3w
CBee @CatLass007 I‘ve heard good things about that one! 3w
CatLass007 I really enjoyed The Spectacular when we read it last year for #LiteraryCrew. All of Fiona Davis‘s historical fiction novels have as a home base New York City landmarks. If someone only has the time to visit one museum in New York City, the New York City Public Library would be my recommendation. And of course, books! 3w
OriginalCyn620 @CBee I do not mind at all! Have at it! 😉 3w
CBee @CatLass007 I got to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Amazing! 3w
CBee @OriginalCyn620 thank you 😊 3w
CatLass007 The Met is also amazing. Years ago a friend of mine and I went to an Impressionist exhibition and I fell in love with a portrait by Van Gogh. I can‘t remember who the subject was, but I don‘t really like portraits. I saw the Mona Lisa in the Louvre and I just shrugged. But the Louvre is where I first fell in love with Pointalism and Impressionism. But next time you go to the City, go to the Library. You will be in awe. 3w
CBee @CatLass007 I don‘t know if I‘ll ever get back there, but if I do, the library will be first on my list! 3w
Read4life I went with “Let someone else pick your next read”. Told him he could pick from any bookcase & Brian picked 3w
CatLass007 Excellent! 3w
ChelseaM6010 Oops, forgot to add that my prompt is to read a new(ish)-to-me-genre. Romantasy it is! 3w
CBee @Read4life great idea! 3w
CBee @ChelseaM6010 sounds great! 3w
julieclair My prompt is to read a book that I meant to read last year. I‘ll be reading 3w

CBee @CatLass007 you‘re very welcome, fellow amazing woman 😊 3w
CatLass007 I just did something that I said I don‘t do because of laziness. I looked up the definition of the word “febrile.” It was just used in the book Conclave describing a “new and febrile mood.” It can mean either feverish or nervous excitement or energy. From the context, I believe it is intended to mean nervous excitement or energy. You have inspired me to start looking up the definitions of words! 3w
CBee @CatLass007 I know that word from my nursing school days. I‘m glad I inspired you to look it up 😊👏🏻 3w

I‘m enjoying this book SO very much, and have already learned quite a bit. That being said, here is my #weirdwordwednesday choice: agouti. I‘m referring to the coloration, but an agouti is also a type of wild rodent (where the name for the coloration came from). Here‘s a Wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agouti_(coloration)

From the authors note: “We must all be more Iona.” I couldn‘t agree more, and if you‘ve read this book, you‘ll understand. Very much in the vein of the wonderful poem, “When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple, with a red hat, which doesn‘t go, and doesn‘t suit me.” 🫟💜

CBee @Amiable would you believe I‘ve never ridden on a train? 😳 1mo
Amiable @CBee Really? I‘d say that surprises me, but if you live somewhere where there aren‘t a lot of options for train travel then it makes sense. The congested northeast corridor really requires multiple options for commuting. I love traveling on the train and prefer it to airplanes. We take Amtrak to Baltimore (@ 6 hours) every few months to visit our youngest son, too. It‘s also a great way to get around Europe- and the trains there are on time! 😀 1mo
CBee @Amiable I‘ve always lived in the south (grew up in MS but now live in AL), so yeah, not much train travel around here. At least not that I‘m aware of. 1mo

Really enjoyed this! I‘d been hesitant to read or watch anything Bourdain related as his death was so shocking to me when it happened. Loved hearing about the crazy adventures and what it was like behind the scenes. Wish Tony had been more willing to truly let people in and been in therapy for a lot longer - who knows if it might have gone differently 😓😞

CBee Thanks to you, Meg, for this rec! @Megabooks 2mo
TheBookHippie His death really hit. Kate Spade too. 2mo
CBee @TheBookHippie agreed on both. Agonizing for their families not to really have that closure 😔 2mo

Megabooks It‘s sad that no one close to him realized how deeply lonely he was. Laurie Woolever (his assistant) had a great quote about his death in her new book. Let me see if I can pull it. 2mo
Megabooks Quote: “As angry as I felt about he way that her (Asia Argento's) behavior had humiliated and devastated Tony, I could also see the essential truth: Asia may have been the catalyst, but she was not the cause. She didn't kill Tony.
The cause of Tony's death was Tony, a human, mortal, grown man who loved and suffered so deeply that it killed him. He was lonely and stubborn and delusional, and despite his intellect and world-weariness, he was (Con't)
2mo
Megabooks ...a bone-deep believer in romantic old-school fucking Romeo and Juliet-style love. He'd survived heroin addiction and all kinds of dangerous and terrifying shit all over the world, but in a specific moment in his extraordinary life, he didn't have the resilience to survive the cruel and brutal end of his last great love affair.“

This just killed me. She hit the nail on the head, though.
2mo
CBee @Megabooks oh shit. That quote is spot on. Adding her book to my TBR ASAP! 2mo

I don‘t know why it took me so long to read this. I loved Homegoing and I think something told me this would be a difficult read as well. Oh, it was difficult, but also SO beautiful. So many times I was saying “yes” in my head, or nodding, particularly when Gyasi writes about religion (I grew up in a southern Baptist church). So many heavy, sad topics packed into these pages. I loved it.

Sargar114 Homegoing was so good! I should read this one too! 2mo

This is not your typical Lisa Jewell book; if you‘re expecting a thriller, you won‘t find it in these pages. What it is - quite a dark and rather disturbing read about one of the most dysfunctional families ever fictionalized (is that a word?).

CatLass007 Hi @Balibee146 Yes, every month the marvelous @CBee gives us a prompt. The idea is to choose something you already own and have been meaning to get to for a while. @CBee am I phrasing this correctly? By the way, I already on the perfect book for this prompt. It is George Takei‘s graphic memoir of his family‘s time in an American prison camp during World War II. (edited) 3mo
AmyG Thanks! 3mo
willaful I've been reading a lot of them the last few years! I highly recommend The Talk by Darrin Bell. 3mo
CBee @CatLass007 yep, that‘s right 😊 @Balibee146 please scroll around on my page and check out some of the prompts I‘ve chosen and let me know what you think! At first it was a premade deck of cards that I found on Etsy, but we got through all of those and now I make my own 😊 3mo
CBee @CatLass007 I‘ve heard good things about the Takei. And thanks for the compliment, sweet lady ♥️♥️ 3mo
CBee @AmyG also, there is a graphic adaptation of Anne Frank‘s story - worth it for the art alone (I say that because I almost know the story by heart as I‘m sure you do too) (edited) 3mo
CatLass007 @willaful The Talk is on my wish list. I‘ve heard good things about it and I look forward to your review. I‘m trying to focus on my physical and audio books that already are in my possession. I‘m working to deaccession my physical library as much as possible. I‘m even trying to cut back on the library books I borrow, if you can imagine that. 😳 3mo
CatLass007 You‘re welcome. You are greatly appreciated! 3mo
CBee @CatLass007 ♥️♥️♥️ 3mo
CatLass007 This is such a wonderful challenge.😍😍😍📚📚📚 3mo
CBee @CatLass007 so happy you‘re enjoying it! 3mo
CatLass007 I‘m a few months behind but I have the books picked out and March is going to be my catch up month. 3mo
OriginalCyn620 I love graphic novels too! And as it happens, this one is on my TBR for this month! 3mo
CBee @CatLass007 sounds like a plan 😊👍🏻 3mo
CBee @julieclair yay! 3mo
CatLass007 @OriginalCyn620 Good choice! 3mo
CatLass007 @julieclair Looks really intriguing! 3mo
Balibee146 @CatLass007 @CBee thanks so much that sounds fantastic 😀 I hardly read any graphic stuff but I do have an amazeballs novel I've been meaning to get to for ages and also Maus (though I think that one would hit too near to home just now). 3mo
CatLass007 @Balibee146 Terrific! I can‘t wait to read your review of whatever you choose for this prompt. 3mo
julieclair @CatLass007 Robert Smalls is a local hero, so it will be fun to read about him in graphic form. 😀 3mo
CBee @Balibee146 I started Maus a while back but didn‘t finish - I don‘t recall why but maybe it just wasn‘t the right time. Which amazeballs novel are you talking about? Inquiring nosy reader minds want to know 😂😂 3mo
Meshell1313 Ooh this one is so interesting! I also have my eyes on Takei‘s graphic memoir so I‘m going to read it this month for sure! 3mo
CBee @Meshell1313 definitely a popular choice for this prompt 👍🏻 3mo
Balibee146 @CBee it is already too dark here to get good pics to do the amazing artwork justice. I will post properly tomorrow with pics. It is called Legend and is animal based.... The quote on the cover suggests "Cormac McCarthy meets Watershio Down".... Sold! 3mo
