Only one thing comes to my mind when I think of STAIRS. Rocky Balboa running up the 72 steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. 🖤🥊🖤

A whopping 14/100! 🤣 Some of those posters were 😱!
Faves:
THE THIN MAN: [Nora Charles]: “Waiter, will you serve the nuts? I mean, will you serve the guests the nuts?“
DARK VICTORY: “Nothing can hurt us now. What we have can't be destroyed. That's our victory - our victory over the dark. It is a victory because we're not afraid.“
WUTHERING HEIGHTS: “I am Heathcliff!“ (I laugh at this one now).

Dear Canada and Mexico (and while we're at it, the entire world),
We are so sorry that your neighbor's president and administration are having a narcissistic, idiotic, and completely chaotic breakdown.
Apologetically,
The empathetic Americans who did not vote for this #ldf.

1. After having a filling that partially fell out of my molar back in 1986 ... two root canals, an implant, an implant removal because the 1st one was done incorrectly ... I finally had a new-and-improved implant done this week. So much over one stupid-ass tooth.
2. We saw every planet except Mercury and Neptune.
3. Matt survived his colonoscopy.
4. Matt.
5. Kate & Pip.

Fascinating discussion today, Shardlakians!
Next up: HEARTSTONE. The events of this novel take place in the summer of 1545. Shardlake and Barak travel to Portsmouth on a legal case given to them by an old servant of Queen Catherine Parr. The book also concerns preparations for the Battle of the Solent and the King's warship, the MARY ROSE. Elizabeth I makes an appearance or two, too! 🤩

#ThreeListThursday #tlt
I got so excited reading everyone else's posts that I forgot to post mine! I chose my three favorites. In fact, they're in my top 10 of all time!
In no particular order:
1. CASABLANCA: “Louis, this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.“
2. GONE WITH THE WIND: “After all, tomorrow is another day.“
3. REBECCA: “Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.“
Thanks to all who played! 🍿❣️📽️

This is #4 in the Matthew Shardlake series, set in 1543 during the final years of Henry VIII's reign. Shardlake, a “hunchback“ (not my words) lawyer grapples with personal struggles while navigating the volatile religious and political landscape of Tudor England. When a close friend is brutally murdered, Shardlake is drawn into a chilling investigation that leads him to uncover a series of killings inspired by the Book of Revelation.

It FINALLY came! It was sent to EAST Virginia, not West. The people were out of town, just found it, and sent it to me. How lucky/cool is that? I adore the St. John calendar and still want so much to visit there and to meet you. Connor's print totally #gobsmacked me and made me 😭. What. A. Talent. Tell me exactly where that is that he drew! And your novel-letter, well, I can't wait to read it and will reply soon! I ❣️ you, m'dear.
This semi-autobiographical novel is a profound exploration of mental illness, identity, and societal expectations in mid-20th-century America. While its bleak tone and unflinching honesty may not be for everyone, its literary craftsmanship is unparalleled and remains a vital contribution to discussions about mental health and gender. Like others, this was on my TBR forever. Thanks to the #hashtagbrigade and @BarkingMadRead for seeing me through.

After perusing all of the Ad Hominem attacks by this country's #ldf last week, I just can't do his fallacies anymore--at least for now.
Something maybe more fun? How about some allusions!?! I love learning/relearning these and hope to bring a new/not new one to you each week. 🤩

Been listening to this one all morning. RIP, Ms. Flack. 😭
Some folks have shared that they are unhappy with Litsy not being as book-focused and happy as before. As many of you know, I, for one, have found it difficult to be Pollyanna Positive when the world seems to be crashing down upon us. I don‘t use any social media except Litsy, and some days I do need to rant—not just about politics but about life‘s annoyances and sufferings, and sharing human angst with my Litten friends really does help. ⬇️
#NoPlaceLikeHolmes @Cuilin
Hello, Sherlockians! Great discussion so far today re: THE VALLEY OF FEAR. Hope to read more of your thoughts soon!
Now, on to the second-to-last set of stories: HIS LAST BOW. The discussion for “The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge“ will be next Saturday, 3/1, and will be led by @Cuilin. We've almost read the ENTIRE canon! 🤩🤩🤩
