Happy 1st Wednesday of May❣️

1-I purchased the Eyes and the Impossible to add to my shelves. I read this once but I want to have it available in my home for sharing and rereading

2-I do when time allows, on Litsy mostly. I rate with stars only on GR. What about you?

1. In an overstuffed chair by the window, mostly

2. Just finished the tagged. It was helpful to hear reminders of living a joyful life. I needed to be reminded

I. The scent of lilacs echoes spring in Minnesota as a child. The scent of peonies is connected to Mom💗

II. Our neighbor Emma had a gorgeous flower garden surrounded by a white fence and beautiful gate-slice of heaven.

“Please learn the pragmatics of expressing fear: sometimes words that seem to express really invoke. This can be tricky.”

This book has many great (noncontexual) quotes but #Difficult to read through.

These two novels - seem to either be loved or hated. Tried Alchemist x2 book, bailed. Listened to audio all of it - still don‘t like it. Read Catcher when I was young, did nothing for me. Read it a few years ago, do not LOVE, but understand it better with its unique format and premise.

Thoughts?
