#Bibliophile #RedCover What other color would this one be? 😁
#SundayFunday well , I have read Gone With the Wind , Anna Karenina, War & Peace .With the Tolstoys it depends on what edition you read what the page counts are (a lot) . The old hardcover edition of GWTW has 1,037 pages . Also have read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand 1168 pages . I was amazed when I saw Littens reading the giant Clarissa, I do have it here somewhere but I haven‘t attempted it .😄
Someone recommended this book to Tim Miller of The Bulwark, he added to footnotes, I borrowed it. Originally published in 1947, Reck details the rise of Hitler and Nazism with appropriate horror. I‘m only a bit into it , this paragraph !
#Bibliophile #PulitzerWinner Very worthy of all the love it gets ! Incredible read #chunkster
#Bibliophile #NewburyWinner published in 1930 It‘s probably one of the reasons I love cats and have some compassion.
Puzzle was on sale , I know this book will take awhile. I stubbed 2 toes this afternoon, not thrilled. Guess I will have to keep it up & read the rest of the afternoon.
Seen at Barnes & Noble , just feels right! 😂
Found for cheap at a Library store, one even has an old Borders sticker on the back,sigh.
Libraries are helpful in so many ways .
pickpicked this up on indie bkstore day from Changing Hands pop up shop of banned books. The Tangs move to the US for a better life. This book is really upbeat,yet doesn‘t sugar coat how they are exploited by a hotel owner as mom,dad,& daughter Mia do everything to run a motel owned by a guy who only pays them part of the cost of a nights stay. I was joyful to watch them slowly find some success while not losing their empathy. Mia, a super character
FYI I found these reasonably priced cat toys at my local indie pet shop, Made in the US . Buy one rod , lots of different toys to switch out . Of course,had to think how long will they remain inexpensive, where do their materials come from? Stupid tariffs.
#Bibliophile #BkBasedOnPainting I read all of Blocks Matthew Scudder books , this book is from a more lighthearted series about a gentleman burglar named Bernie Rhodenbarr . Read a few of those too. Enjoyable.
Today‘s thrift store finds ! A reissue series from the 1990s . I have several, always great to add to the set ! $1.50 both .Love these covers

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!
