pickI listened to this one on my way to and from Minnesota this weekend. I am such a sucker for found family books! This was just delightful. I loved the character development - especially Vera. I'm going to listen to the next one on my next long drive. 💓
I spent a long weekend in the woods and never touched my phone. It was just what I needed to recharge. 💚💚💚 #haikuhive #haikuaday
pickI have so many feelings, but they all boil down to: What. The. Fork!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯 I am very much looking forward to the discussion.

My husband always makes me giggle. 🤣🤣🤣 This has inspired further writing, though.

🤣😭 My best score remains in the 1700s. But this is the best I've scored in a bit.
🩵 The Summer Book is an all-time fave. I'm starting a re-read at a Midsummer Festival this weekend.
🩵 In Watermelon Sugar is probably the most obscure book I've read from these lists so far.
🩵 Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is the only book that I was supposed to read for school, but didn't. 🤭🤫

💙 Indoors - We had elaborate Barbie play. Big family trees, backstories, lots of drama, VERY soap-operatic. Outdoors - CAPTURE THE FLAG! So many great memories of playing this in our neighborhood.
💙Book - Someone got me a copy of Outside Over There when my sister was born. It had quite an impact, but also creeped me out! Movie - The Wizard of Oz. I loved when it was on TV once a year - we always made it a big event.

Just one of those days. Can't get out of my own head.

The chase is not pictured due to the chaos. 😹 This is later in the day after they wore themselves out.

My dad (pictured) has played the accordion since he was 7. I love this quote. 🥰

I shed happy tears this morning. 5,000 protesters in Marquette. 7% of the county's population. Up from 3,500 at the last big protest. I have hope today.

❤️ I'm looking forward to showing my solidarity at the No Kings Rally!
🧡 After the rally, we all proceed to UP Pride Fest! 🤩
💛 The #haikuhive makes me smile each and every day. I love our hive!
💚 I'm looking forward to our Midsummer Festival next weekend! 🥰
💙 It's been a crazy month already, but MisterinBlue has been incredibly and has kept me sane!

I love this version of Woody Guthrie's "All You Fascists Bound to Lose." It's on repeat this week.

💙 I pre-ordered the collector's edition of the tagged book. I want it to match my copy of the first book. 😉
💙 I don't pre-order a lot, but I'd say it's pretty equally split between stand alone and series.

pickI learned a lot from this one about non-binary gender identity and asexuality. Kobabe does an excellent job of conveying the confusion and isolation e felt as e was coming of age. The art is beautiful.

pickWhat an utterly exquisite book of poetry. Vuong's poetry is visceral and poignant. The metaphors are utterly brilliant. I'll be spending a lot more time with these poems.

Edmund White died on Tuesday. I first read The Beautiful Room is Empty in college. It was profoundly moving, and I learned a great deal from it. Recently I've been looking forward to reading his recently published “sex memoir.“ He was a great writer and an icon for many.

The Guardian had a beautiful piece to remember him:

Just a fun one for @eggs. 😂

pickWow. Just... Wow. This book was dark, unsettling, and dystopian. But it was also fascinating, philosophical, and deeply human. This is among the best speculative fiction I have ever read.
pickThis is my favorite book so far this year. There aren't enough characters to expound on my love, but here's a few highlights:
💛 This has been compared to early Didion and Patti Smith (and I would add Erica Jong), and given the late 1970s setting, this appears deliberate & brilliant.
💛 Kushner plays with pacing to accentuate themes of speed and time. It's fascinating.
💛 There were jaw-droppingly exquisite passages that I had to stop & re-read.
pickSmythe portrays the behavior of Greek gods and goddesses in exactly the way I imagined when I first learned about them. This was a refreshing #palettecleanser.
