TheBookHippie @IndoorDame I‘m so glad you‘re on the upswing!!! This months book is dense! Many of us reading it much slower. 🙃 1d

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii

Reflecting on this week I really only did one thing that matters. I haven‘t lived through an election that felt this important. If you‘re in the US please vote! 🗳️💙✊🏼

Deblovestoread 🙌💙 3w
kspenmoll All these early voters are making me think twice about waiting for election day. Agree, voting is vital. 👏🏻 3w
IndoorDame @kspenmoll imho there‘s nothing wrong with waiting, I actually like going to the polls on Election Day, but since voting by mail became legal in my state I always do that cause I‘m chronically ill and while nothing would stop me from showing up for this election, I used to miss some local elections when they fell on a day I wasn‘t doing well enough to get to the polls 3w
Suet624 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 3w
DebinHawaii I marked my ballot this weekend & will take it to the post office this week. This election is so important! 💙💙💙 Thanks for sharing! 2w

#weirdwords #weirdwordwednesdays @CBee

I love those moments when you realize the stunningly obvious meaning of a word that you were somehow oblivious to your entire life, like “sour cream is *sour* cream!”🤯

I love Spin Day!!!!! @TheAromaofBooks Thank you for giving me something exciting to wake up to! Looks like this is shaping up into a month of rereading for me since #Doublespin is a group read, and I‘m joining #hashtagbrigade for Dracula which is an old favorite, and #Bookspin is a seasonal mood read and I recently picked up a copy of The Turn of the Screw, another old favorite, with this amazing pulp cover so it feels like fate to reach for that.

DGRachel That Tor cover of The Turn of the Screw is AMAZING! 😂 1mo

#ReadAway2024 Update: Of the 11 books I finished in September 5 were from my own shelves. 45% is good for me with all the mood reading I‘ve been doing lately, but I‘ve also been out of control with book buying, so I predict that in 3 months my number of owned, unread books will actually have crept up. @DieAReader @Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES

mcctrish My own and unread pile is out of control currently and I went to a book fair yesterday and it hasn‘t improved 🤦🏻‍♀️ 1mo

I rarely predict what books will stay with me or end up one of my top reads of the year, but this one will do both. I was especially impressed with how Orringer mixed historical fiction closely tied to research to shed light on a niche pocket of this history, with invented characters and scenarios to represent broader themes that were occurring all around them at the time. Looking forward to reading more of her work.

IndoorDame @TheBookHippie I loved spending the month with this and the #sundaybuddyread crew, and I‘m excited to dive into some of the research I was avoiding until I finished the book, and watch Transatlantic after tomorrow‘s final chat. Christine, thank you for picking this one and for the research deep dive you did on it, you rock! 1mo
kspenmoll What a fantastic review! I too loved this choice- your words perfectly capture the book‘s essence.The discussions we have just deepen my understanding. Transatlantic is on our house to watch list. 💙 (edited) 1mo

I‘ve always meant to read this one and I‘m glad #bannedbookweek inspired me to finally pick it up, it really is as powerful as everyone says. Johnson‘s story does a wonderful job of illustrating how even if you‘re lucky enough to be surrounded by loving family and friends, being part of a marginalized community inescapably increases the chances that trauma, violence, illness, abuse and mental health struggles will affect your life.

1. If you sit still long enough you start to see beauty in the unlikeliest settings.
2. I saw a new mural on my drive through town

Mehso-so

What didn‘t work for me - I didn‘t learn anything new about self care either in general or for ADHD and I can already tell I won‘t remember most of this even though I jotted down a few notes. What did work for me - It goes into a wider range of symptoms and behaviors and the science behind them that I‘d heard before, and since it‘s often hard to pinpoint what is causing a specific pattern or symptom it was interesting to consider in that light.

#TLT @dabbe

My takeaways from this list:

1. There are a lot of books this list that I don‘t actually remember if I‘ve read or not, banning them definitely seems like more trouble than it‘s worth.

2. Who banned the King James Bible? I don‘t get that rationale coming from any political agenda. 🧐

👇🏼

IndoorDame 3. I don‘t believe in book bans but my understanding is in American they‘re centered on school libraries… so what school library ordered the Anne Rice Beauty trilogy in the first place? 😳🤔 1mo
Librarybelle @IndoorDame Book bans occur in public libraries…more often in certain pockets of the US, and until recently, it was not really mentioned how frequently it happens in public libraries. I think recent events have really shown it happens everywhere, with campaigns to rid public and school libraries of certain books. When I worked in a public library, there were patrons over the years who insisted on certain books being removed. So sad! 1mo
IndoorDame @Librarybelle that‘s depressing. I knew there were laws passed in the past year that allowed that in a few certain states, but I thought that was new. 😞 1mo
See All 13 Comments
Librarybelle @IndoorDame So depressing! The laws incarcerating librarians are new, and to a degree those laws that state what types of books can be found in a public library, but sadly the banning side has gone on for years. It‘s so sad and frustrating! 1mo
IndoorDame @Librarybelle those laws are one of (sadly too many) that have me genuinely concerned we look like we‘re at the start of repeating a really dangerous page in history 1mo
AmyG It‘s part of a strategy, either political or religious (probably both), to keep people ignorant. 1mo
IndoorDame @AmyG it makes me so mad! 1mo
dabbe @IndoorDame 🎯! 1mo
dabbe @AmyG And maybe in a horribly sad way, it gives people a sense of power by thinking they get to decide what other people can or can not do. 1mo
dabbe So many valid points and things that just make us 😤😤🤬, right? We have to keep fighting the good fight. I\'m thinking I have to go volunteer at my local library and maybe shake things up a bit. 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing! 🧡🍁🧡 1mo
IndoorDame @dabbe you‘re right, we definitely have to channel all that rage into the fight! 1mo

I can see this is her first novel. It isn‘t polished like other things of hers I‘ve read, and you can see from these vignettes why it makes sense that she goes on to write novels, short stories and nonfiction, which is pretty unusual. There‘s plenty to criticize here, but I enjoyed it enough that I want to pick up another of her later novels. (& I definitely want to see the film version, which will be an instant cult classic 🙃😂) #hashtagbrigade

#weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday @CBee

I got annoyed after needing to look up 3 words in this 11 line poem this morning, and decided the poet was being pretentious and not achieving the tone he was aiming for🙄😂… but the word clepsydra struck me as really cool, and I‘ve actually always wondered how water clocks worked before, so time well spent in the end
