Pickpick

A novel full of despicable characters, fabulous NYC landscape, classism, sexism, pre-WWII America. One redeeming character, trying her best to survive in a chaotic world driven by her relationship with the narcissist Amanda Keller.Satire & snark provide scenes of hilarity. The novel made me laugh, but also angry at times.This is a little gem of escapism in today‘s trying times. #sundaybuddyread

A Lesson in Dying | Ann Cleeves
post image
Pickpick

Initially,I was unsure as to how I felt about this book,wondering was it because of its slow pace?But then I realized it was for me,a new way of experiencing the reading of a murder mystery.The story is narrated through the eyes of the villagers,& of two in particular, who took it upon themselves to try and solve the murder. Inspector Ramsey was just at the periphery of the story, rather than its main protagonist & driving force of the plot.

willaful Sounds interesting. 5d

Woke around 5:30. Had coffee on my porch- it was sweat shirt weather. Sun wasn‘t totally up yet over the trees. Quiet except for bird song. Two hummingbirds flitted through my bee balm. One flew up on the porch, sipped some geranium nectar,then flitted back to a feeder & flower pot on a Shepard s hook. I did not read; just sat taking my surroundings in while sipping my coffee. Bliss.

“Gerry had read an article in one of the papers recently about something called”forest bathing,”how it could relax you and remove stress from your life.You could immerse yourself in a forest.The Japanese called shinrin-yoku,and its beneficial effects apparently had something to do with the chemicals trees release into the air.Maybe she would try it.She was all for using her senses to soak up the atmosphere of the woods and leave her cares behind.”

Under Rose Valland‘s direction, 119 paintings were crated to be trucked to Chambord. During the next several days, 165 more paintings were evacuated. 524 paintings, 100 sculptures, & the museum‘s archives were locked in the museum‘s basement.Large sculptures were then secured in its gardens. All the museums in France attempted to save what they could in similar ways. The magnitude of these evacuation plans is astounding (71-72).

People choices to actively fight against a regime like Hitler‘s always result in my questioning of myself: would I be so committed to, so brave? I really don‘t know.
