Books educate us, they teach us, they connect us. They are tools for how we survive.

My grandmother‘s body escaped China, but her mind did not. And her adult life was spent as little more than a shell to hold her ghosts. My mother learned how to grow a life around her damage. But beneath the surface, her ghosts seethed in the chasms ripped through her core. We survive trauma by denying it has happened, and neither my mother nor her mother was able to see the ghosts that swarmed them. But they stood out clearly for me. ⬇️
pickThis book is similar to the infamous ‘The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat‘, but much easier to understand, and without any ableist language. There are some very interesting cases but there are sad ones too. The brain is a mysterious thing!
Favorite piece of art in this book. She claims her space, and dignity, owing nothing and no one an explanation or apology.
Last night, I counted my remaining books, and told my husband that I only have 409 left,… And it‘s really not even that much. He looked at me almost in disbelief, with a surprised look on his face and said 409 isn‘t really that much?! And he just laughed.
My two new bookmarks from Pagewings arrived! The sweater did too, and I can‘t wait to wear it…picture coming soon🤓📚

pickI originally thought this book was an ABC of the plants and trees native to WA, but it‘s all kinds of things the state is known for. A beautifully illustrated, educational book. I can‘t wait to step foot in WA again! Shown: some pictures I took when my husband and I were there in 2024.
Sexy🤣
4 new holds came in!
pickThis was a hard read. I‘ve read other survivor stories, watched documentaries, listened to podcasts about FLDS. Each story is horrific. Carolyn was raised in FLDS and forced to marry a 50 year old man at 18 years old; she had 8 children from him, and left the abuse for good at 35 years old. She fought to protect and keep her children and won—and found real love later on. This difficult memoir tells every part of her story. TW, CW.
pickIn the final installment of this adorable trilogy, we get to learn the story of Wendel. Dare I say that this might be my favorite in the series? I absolutely loved the ending. Whenever I do the laundry now, or see any sheet ghost-anything, I‘ll think of Wendel and his friends! 🪦👻📸🧺
pickThis second book is a bit darker, serious, and sadder than the first one but it has important lessons about friendship, empathy, active listening, being present, and bullying. TW: suicide.
I loved the chosen name of the ghost camera🤣
🪦👻📸🧺
You cannot convince me that this book wasn‘t inspired by The Brave Little Toaster (1987)! Omg I have to read this🤣
I loved the movie then, and it still has a special place in my heart now. And yes, some of my appliances have googly eyes, and names…👀📱
My husband knows what I like to read. But I have a very close friend who I‘d also trust…
Storygraph says I read ‘informative, reflective, and dark‘ (spot on🤣)
Just discovered this podcast…I think I‘ll give it a try. I see some books I‘ve read and liked.

I despise fennel and anything that tastes like it🤢nope, nope, can‘t do it🤣🤢
Have you given your starter a name and pronouns yet? 🤣
pickI‘ve fallen in love with these graphic novel cookbooks, and I wish there were more of them. This one, like the others, is very educational. I could smell rising and baking bread while reading it! I have a bread machine and some books to go with it. I‘ve learned from mistakes and am far from being great at making bread, but there‘s nothing like cutting it when it‘s fresh from the oven, slathering on kerrygold, and digging in…🥖🍞🧈
pickI was so happy to learn there was a graphic novel for this! It‘s truly one of the most funny and enjoyable books. I loved to see Chester and Harold come to life!
pickI still have to read the book, but wow—this artful adaptation was a gut punch. It was very dark and shows the depth of monstrous human depravity. The art is stunning and really allows you to feel the sadness of the story.
pickI read a lot of memoirs last year, and this was the final one. I‘d read Running with Scissors years ago—this memoir was very different than that one. It took courage for Augusten to write this one, but his childhood was worse.
The world I live inside. I can‘t wait to see where 2026 takes me in books. I‘m continuing to go through my books at home—reading the neglected, packing what I want to keep, donating the rest to little free libraries and gifting to friends. I believe this is the year my husband and I will finally be moving to the north…and I am so excited at the thought of raiding new libraries! I still have so many more books to go through—let‘s get to reading!
so-soI haven‘t made a lot of recipes from the blog but wanted to check out this book to see what was in it, since my husband and I eat a lot of plant based recipes and we‘re always looking for new things to try. Honestly, I did not love what I found here. There are a few I want to try, but the majority don‘t pull an appetite for either of us. This morning, we tried the lemon cornmeal (wheat) pancakes and enjoyed them.
pickI remember watching the movie when it came out out and liking it. When I was at The Book Trader in Philly back in December 2018, I found the set for what was at the time, the trilogy. Now, I saw that the author added on another two. This first novel is a slow burn but very unsettling, and Lovecraftian (which I love). What is Area X…why do the people who venture there come back as someone else, or not at all…becoming something worse? ⬇️
Seen on FB. Artist unknown. This is what a wonderful childhood night looks like!
