Happy May Day ! From a company called Radical Tea Towels !
#DynamicDs #Drink I‘ve got a small section! 🥃🍷🍸🍹
#BookHaul #IndependentBookstoreDay the big one ! Fast Boys.. was a free ARC , Tucci & Witch of New York were sale books . Front Desk and Dear Martin were from the Banned Book section. They have great stickers, I also picked up a birthday card ! Hazzah!
#bookHaul political cartoons from -1969 Olifant book. The Wilkersons & The Gift by Hadiz gifting to a friend on a tight book budget. Tempe Public Library store , 16 bucks for all !
Today Changing Hands , part of the banned books display . 😡I found I owned or read most of them . Picked up 2 I hadn‘t read .
A pop up shop inside Changing Hands Tempe , Az. I heard the conversations of teachers & staff talking of all the controversies & challenges. Hey , I know that most Littens are profoundly aware of all of this , I was happy to see customers who are discovering for the first time the extent of this BS !
#DynamicDs #Dark James Ellroys mother Jean was found murdered in suburban LA , left by the side of the road , murderer never found , case closed . James was only 10. He feels that his obsession with his mom‘s memory is largely responsible for his crime novels set in L.A. This book is part memoir , part story of Ellroy working with Detective Bill Stoner to see if even so many years later there is something to be learned about the case.
Picking up an Emily Dickinson bust to use as weapon? It has to be “You” season 5 ! Netflix
Keep going everyone!

I love Ibsen, maybe time for a reread !
Thrifted today ! Escoffier is from 1941 no extra charge for the sauce splatters, Pennsylvania State Grange Cook Book 1928.

Thanks @Ruthiella !
#WondrousWednesday on Thursday!
1.Daffodils! But I live in the desert southwest so the daffodils are here in Jan./Feb. Actually, the roses have already bloomed and are fading fast.
2.Grateful for my cats , friends,& baseball!⚾️
Thanks @Eggs for the tag!
Ok , who remembers this ? 😁
From April 4th edition of Shelf Awareness. 😡
#DynamicDs #Doorway I read this long ago . People read it a lot in the drug infused 60s Huxley wrote both in the 1950s.
#DynamicDs #DoubleLetterTitle An all time favorite!
Thanks for the tag, @Eggs
#ThreeListThursday #TLT 73 of 100 ! Yay!
So many ! Gangs Of New York , Field Of Dreams, Goodfellas , Pulp Fiction, Sideways……
Time I get to this one . @Librarybelle suggested the tag #RealHistory @dabbe suggested #HonestHistory Remembering the sanitary history of my school days , I remember thinking, is this all there is? Doesn‘t seem some people, stories are left out ? Over the years there are more options available. Older ones below.
pickWell , I didn‘t read it as fast as some of the reviewers, but I did enjoy this twisty thriller. Sloane lies about nearly everything, she had a rough beginning and uses her fibs to make her life more interesting than it is. She meets a handsome father with his lovely daughter at a the park, maybe a nanny gig ? Maybe something else ? Getting close to this family may be more than she bargains for !
I only read a couple of his books, enjoyed them !😢 https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025/03/30/irish-crime-writer-ken-bruen-dies-...

I wish it was a full set , it isn‘t ! Will read the first chapter tonight.
#DynamicDs #Detective #OldSchool The tagged book is a collection of stories , The Maltese Falcon brought us Sam Spade , The Big Sleep , Phillip Marlowe .
Humphrey Bogart played both of those roles , & as you can see from the cover , Robert Mitchum played Marlowe in a remake . Good stuff !
#CoverStories #Prison Bunker has really done time & has written several books about crime & prisons.You may also have seen him as Mr. Blue in Reservoir Dogs
pickLoved it ! Belongs next to these others that I have reread since Election Day. While some events outlined in this book have changed , it is still a relevant book as the playbook for dismantling democracy and running the grift never changes . Enlightening and depressing, so glad I read it
#CoverStories #Barn Spin wool , make cheese, make bricks ,cure bacon! My grandparents could make almost everything, I have always been interested in the old folkways. If we keep going the dystopian way we all may need books like this !
#TransRightsReadathon late to the readathon & late to getting to this title that‘s been on my TBR for a long time. Might get to some trans nonfiction, my reading time hasn‘t been as much as I would like it to be lately.
#CoverStories #pastel Sunday treat! All gone!
#CoverStories #Clock Haven‘t read this yet. Maybe looking back isn‘t that useful in the moment. I have always thought the republican downside really began with Reagan. This is the era of Rush Limbaugh who filled the airwaves with absolute lies. The era of Pat Buchanan, Ross Perot. The era where many conspiracy theories thrived and a segment of voters seemed to celebrate their ignorance. Hmmm , how did we get here? 🤔
Ok , I have vintage hats , seldom wear anymore but haven‘t got rid of them. No more buying hats! Except this one , today!😂
pickAn impulse pick up at the library! I enjoy her music but didn‘t know that much about her , I‘d say fans that follow her would know this stuff but I enjoyed filling in some information on her .Photos throughout of her incredible fashion & performance looks.Towards the end tells of her singing at Bidens inauguration & her being honored w/a born this way rainbow painted street in West Hollywood. What a contrast to the lunacy of the U.S. right now 😡
pickWhat a wonderful read ! My first time reading with the #HashtagBrigade that added to the fun ! Great characters & many twists & turns ! Thanks to @BarkingMadRead for hosting ! Also qualifies for a #BitsyChunster for #ChunksterChallange2025
Happy St. Patrick‘s Day . Gonna have me a Guinness & think about Irish writers ,like Oscar Wilde .
The etching is of the tower at Glendalough , county Wicklow ,from the 6th century.I was lucky enough to visit it once.☘️
pickDefinitely my favorite read this year so far . Imagine your life couldn‘t get much worse , husband gone, nothing going right , can‘t imagine moving forward.Phoebe is feeling she should end it all, go out in style, visit an elegant inn she always hoped to visit under happier circumstances. Come to find out everyone there is for a wedding, when Lila discovers Phoebe, who is this person who might ruin the wedding? Dark ,smart,funny & wise,grt story!
#CoverStories #Running I read the first few , including this one . Fun reads , but now the show is ahead of the ones I have read .
The current political climate is so cruel , this mug spoke to me , hope it will help me calm down a bit . A beautiful quote for many situations, right?
