Cold brew coffee float for breakfast #winning

mcctrish @Prairiegirl_reading I found cold brew ice cream made by Chapmans last week 🤎🤎 thankfully the weather cooperated sooner than later 4d
Prairiegirl_reading @mcctrish Chapman‘s has become my go to ice cream since the boycott. The weather here is finally nice too! Hooray for spring! 4d
mcctrish @Prairiegirl_reading we always bought Chapmans because they have peanut free plants and one of my oldest‘s best friends is allergic. During the pandemic they paid their staff despite closures and then paid bonus pay when lines reopened. How they operate should be the rule not the exception ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 4d
Prairiegirl_reading That‘s great information! I had no idea! I wasn‘t planning to go back to American brands but I will definitely keep buying Chapmans now. 4d
BooksandCoffee4Me @mcctrish oh, I need to find this! I never would have thought of the float! 4d
mcctrish @BooksandCoffee4Me I agree that you do ❤️❤️ 4d

MM is a romance writer & was looking forward to going to a Romance book festival in the US but the US is kind of unpredictable right now so MM decided to cancel her trip. I felt bad for her and so many other artists who are having to make such hard choices. So I bought a book
It‘s lovely. Not too spicy. It‘s well written, good dialogue, the main characters are interesting. I‘m surprised she hasn‘t got an editor but maybe everyone doesn‘t want one?

This book is important. It‘s also A LOT. It goes way back in time to how we gathered and why ( we love a unifying narrative) and all the ways those narratives have caused us harm or to do harm. We are the smartest and dumbest of creatures. It all leads up to the creation of AI and the good and bad it can and will bring. We need to create self correcting strategies. We need to fund education. We need to start yesterday.

This is my first time making suggestions for Camp Litsy #camplitsy25 I‘ve included 2 Canadian Lit suggestions ‘Lake Burntshore‘ and ‘Julie Chan is Dead‘ 🇨🇦 ‘Second Chance Convenience Store‘ was a best selling novel in South Korea in 2021 and that had me thinking about Butter ( which was odd but I‘m really glad I read it ) and I love a translated novel. ‘Welcome to Murder Week‘ is just a vibe 🤣🤣 I can‘t wait for camp

To celebrate Indie month aka April I thought I‘d try an Indie author who‘s Canadian too. It‘s a romance and I saw on the socials she was going to go to a big Rom Lit festival in the US but has had to change her mind because of all the uncertainty with crossing the border. So many people are having their lives turned upside down 😢 so far so good with the story

Jas16 This just breaks my heart again. I never thought I would live in a country a Canadian author doesn‘t feel safe visiting. 2w
mcctrish @Jas16 I read somewhere that said flying into the US still appears like normal checking happens but driving has had some hiccups. Someone I teach with said their in laws were questioned when they were stopped at border about governments and then refused entry. This was at least a month ago. The Canadian gov‘t has issued warnings to expect challenges 2w

Building away. YNH is talking about how computer algorithms can go awry and referencing Facebook's involvement in spreading lies and misinformation against the Rohingya people. I read about this in Maria Ressa's How to Stand up to a Dictator. What's awful is even when people called out the lies and called on FB to stop the algorithms, the damage was done. CBC spoke this week about how easy and cheap it is to buy groups on FB with followers 😢

I read all over the place and I think my results confirm this, as I read the synopsis of the books to choose I kept thinking “but is it well written? cuz if it‘s like Simon Winchester or Colleen Hoover then it‘s a maybe “
Want to try ? https://www.readyourcolor.com/red I think green must be the “how to lead the people to the promised cubicle category” not a fan

A Christmas gift and a book I‘d never heard off 🤯
A mystical magical story of a woman who travels the world alone to stay ahead of a mysterious illness
It‘s a lovely but odd story. There were times when I was captivated but others when I was just “wrap this up” and yet it went on. The ending was lovely

I loved The Reading List. I‘d read every book on the list (and loved them) except A Suitable Boy which I bought to read afterwards. It‘s an amazing feat of storytelling

This is a long book and jam packed with information that I‘m really enjoying and now I‘m questioning everything I know. For instance witchcraft was started to steal men‘s‘ penises so obviously men had to hunt witches down. 🤣🤣 (or that was what men ‘thought‘ witches were up to) Started a new Lego set, a gift with purchase, of a small floral arrangement and tackled the ironing mountain

IndianBookworm Waiting for your review😊 2w
mcctrish @IndianBookworm I gave this to one of my brother in laws for Christmas - we saw him 2 weekends ago and he said he was 100 pages in which is almost 1/5 of the way so I think he‘s committed to it. My hold came in after we saw him, of course, I didn‘t ask him anything about it but now I have some context so I want to ask him all the things and look at the print version to go over some points 🤣 I may end up buying it for my husband 2w

A Great Country: A Novel | Shilpi Somaya Gowda

Told over 2 weeks, an immigrant family faces off against the American dream and learns the cost in real time. I fluctuated between wanting to scream and wanting to cry, I was crying by the end.

Leftcoastzen Sounds good though! 1mo
AlaMich Yes, the screaming/crying pretty much sums up the mood of many here in the US. 😞 1mo
mcctrish @Leftcoastzen it really is a great story! Totally presents different perspectives ( recent immigrants, police, parents, children) in completely empathetic ways. 1mo
mcctrish @AlaMich it was not a relaxing read based on subject matter and current climate but important for those reasons 1mo

Reading in bed all day. Probably. I don‘t know whether I want to rage or cry at this book.

I taught art in grade 1 today and we did mixed media daffodils ??4. Spring is so mean sometimes 5.

The Woman in White | Wilkie COLLINS

Oh #hashtagbrigade how I loved this
An early work of detective fiction with a gothic vibe that kicks off with an unknown woman dressed completely in white on the run from an asylum. Oh what a wicked web we weave …… so many bizarre over the top characters doing nefarious things ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I laughed and I railed and I held my breath assuming the worst at all times while the good guys tried to triumph.

dabbe 🤩🤩🤩 1mo
Ruthiella Isn‘t this book AWESOME! 🤩 No other Collins‘ title that I‘ve read this far has quite measured up, but I did also really enjoy The Moonstone and 1mo
mcctrish @Ruthiella my husband read Moonstone in uni and really liked it 1mo

I read this at school today. Nothing like being blindsided by a story you are reading aloud and wanting to sob but managing a poignant pause and pulling yourself together

TheBookHippie I‘ve done that before. 💙 1mo
mcctrish @TheBookHippie bloody thing should come with a warning 1mo
TheBookHippie @mcctrish yes. I read this aloud and refugees from Pakistan were listening 😭😭😭😭😭 however the children are use to me tearing up 😅 1mo
mcctrish @TheBookHippie I knew I would have kids who were from Kabul and I did 💔 quite a few gasps “that is my country “ 1mo

This follows George through his life, he‘s a likeable child, his uni years are good too. You like George, it‘s a great audio book. Adulthood hits and there is this undercurrent to George, and I am not liking him so much. He isn‘t mean, but he‘s thoughtless. I am raging at my audio book. FFS George, get it together
It‘s well written. I enjoyed it when I wasn‘t raging 😂😂
