Happy #5JoysFriday ☺️ This week seemed to fly by! @DebinHawaii

1. Lunch at a great new Mexican place 😋
2. Love being back to regular aerial practice again
3. Met up with my sister's bookclub at the new all romance bookstore. Fun people and a great store!
4. Many bookstore trips for the Charlotte Book Crawl! It's so fun but I always buy too many books 🫣
5. Took a chance on a mystery book that turned out to be one I wanted 🎉

I don't usually buy mystery books like this cause I'm worried I'll have already read/own it, but this one sounded real cute and in my wheelhouse so I took a chance.
❔❓Any guesses on the book? ❓❔

Ruthiella No guesses, but I also like the concept but have never taken the plunge. 1w

Clare-Dragonfly I also wouldn‘t buy a mystery book! I got one at the library once and it did turn out to be a book I already own. I have no guesses on this, but it does sound delightful. 1w
peanutnine @willaful yes! That was it! I was happy cause it's on my TBR but I don't own it 😊 @Ruthiella @Clare-Dragonfly @emz711 great guess on UTWD though, I also love that one 1w

First Quarter Romance #ReadingBracket2025
The majority of my reads in March were romance, so it was tough to narrow down. But these two I read for the #TransRightsReadathon and really enjoyed them both. The tagged is moving on as my favorite for the quarter. (The bonus pick is The Dandelion and the Thistle btw, it's hard to read so tiny)

I came across this one today. It comes from 'elegy'. Another definition calls it wistfully mournful, which I liked
The book I read it in was describing a poem in which "she sees the woman she‘s in love with sitting next to a man, and admires his composure. Because she knows if she were the one sitting next to the woman, she would be at a loss for words."
I've been reading a lot more poetry this month so I appreciate this new word

peanutnine I believe the poem described was Catullus 51 for anyone interested https://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/Latin/Catullus.php#... 2w

First Quarter Fiction #ReadingBracket2025
This was a tough decision. I had to sit with the finalists for a bit to decide what went on. Ultimately I decided on this cozy fantasy, which was like a warm hug in book form.

My #5JoysFriday are from our recent camping trip in Georgia. I got to read most of my book in front of the fire. We went hiking to Brasstown Bald, the highest point in GA, and also trekked to a few nearby waterfalls. We saw a huge snapping turtle in the lake of the park we were staying at. The trip was a meetup for my husband's Coleman lantern collector's group, so we got to visit with them. Spotted a few new birds in the mornings!

Decided to start this one on audio since none of my current listens were as cheery as I've been wanting
Loving it so far! The narrator does a lovely Irish accent for Muriel and I can't get enough of her and Kit's banter.

In the author's note, Lowell self-identifies as a cis-queer writer with a trans masculine historian partner, and used their experiences as a couple as well as archival research in writing this story

Wow, I've never gotten so many fun, unexpected goodies from a preorder like this! This is a debut, self-published novel that I came across because I follow the cover artist on ig. It's a queer cozy romance with floriography so I ordered it immediately lol. But opening the package was such a happy surprise! I was gonna save it to read for the #TransRightsReadathon but was so giddy that I binged the first 100 pages and it is so good so far!

PuddleJumper Everything looks adorable! Love the bookmark 1mo

I read this book years ago and it has weirdly stuck with me. Such an interesting time travel premise. Also I didn't realize until I went to look it up today that it was originally published in the 70s

BookNAround I read this years ago too. If I remember correctly, it was sold as horror at one point, which made me leery of reading it (I‘m a coward) but I couldn‘t figure out how they were calling it horror at all. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Should add I really enjoyed it a lot. (edited) 1mo
peanutnine @BookNAround wow yeah I don't see it as a horror novel, and definitely wouldn't have picked it up if it was pitched as that (I'm also a scaredy cat lol) 1mo

1. I was complaining about lack of shelf space one night & the next morning my husband cleared off one of his random shelves for me. That's love, y'all
2. A couple friend of ours gifted me this gorgeous cat blanket just because! My husband also received one with a D&D style dungeon map on it. They know us both so well
3. Game night with said couple friend
4. The kitties, always
5.The anticipation of waiting for book mail

"Funny how [censorship] boards wanted to protect women's sensibilities, but ended up stripping them of agency."

And still the guise of protecting people is often used to then suppress them... History is a lesson

"When talking about progress, people usually look to the future. This book looks to the past."

Such an amazing eye-opening account of the history of Hollywood & the huge role women played in its start. It follows the path of Helen Gibson, the first Hollywood stuntwoman in the 1910s, beginning with her involvement in rodeo & through her rise as a serial queen.
O'Meara brilliantly combines biography, history & humor, making this story easy to love

Aims42 I love her books so much! Her subjects are always fascinating and I love her writing style. I‘ve got this one on my TBR Mountain 😁👍 1mo
