Yummmmmmmm

FRIDAY NIGHT DINNER

"Roquefort puffs would complement that dish quite well!"
Sookie

#mtcookbook

wordslinger42 I‘ve debated on getting this! Are the recipes good? 5h
TheBookHippie @wordslinger42 70 percent yes! 30 percent is EH but I just adapt. I‘ve been cooking every Friday all year from this cookbook it‘s my plan for 2024. 5h
wordslinger42 @TheBookHippie Oh, that‘s fun! I‘ll have to give it a try for September! There‘s a Gilmore festival in MI at the end of the month, so I‘m thinking of making Sept. Gilmore-themed 😄 4h

My #20BOOKSBYBLACKWOMEN is going well 🎉

vlwelser Do you have a favorite so far? I only read 2 of these. 8h
TheBookHippie @vlwelser I love BOTH Renee Watson books, Madness was 🤯 you know it wouldn‘t be good news but man people are evil… We are all so good at smiling and Bright Red Fruit and Imagination: A Manifesto - - all excellent. Magic Enuff: Poems also good. The rest were just okay -but I struggle with fiction in general. Renee‘s skin & bones probably my favorite. 8h
vlwelser Adding skin & bones to my hideous tbr. Thank you. Also now intrigued by Madness. 7h

vlwelser Oh. Madness is actually on my shortlist for IRL NF book club. 7h
TheBookHippie @vlwelser It is fascinating, heavy and so sad. Necessary to read though. 7h

Trust has been broken- vet has been visited 👀

My poor old girl has very bad arthritis in her right knee and minor in the left. So pain meds it is. Her eyesight is failing a bit too. She was not a fan of the car ride today which is long (70 minutes one way) and even longer in construction 😭😭😭😭

Home now and we‘re both exhausted 💤

Time to just rest.but she isn‘t doing it close to me. AS IF.

1. I received the name ‘The Book Hippie‘ from a little girl who gave me a few weeds as a present when she “caught” me filling a Little Free Library one day. “You‘re the Book Hippie that fills the library, and I caught you!!! ” “Here‘s some flowers, they‘re really weeds, but you can pretend they are flowers.” The name stuck I‘m known all over town for rescuing books and mentoring&tutoring reading & literacy..

A little tip from me to you
Every night before bed I fill this out
It helps with memory
It‘s helps with anxiety
It helps with sleep
Also -if eating meals, taking meds and resting is all that‘s on your list -it‘s enough.
Don‘t forget can be I am love I am light I am enough

Blank side you can add all the books you want to read 😅😂🤣😘

Have to say I‘m missing the awkward sex scenes from her early books 🫣😬🫠😂

Lost girl
Who is she
And how is this all related ?!?!

Librarybelle You just know that St James will wrap this up well! 6d
kspenmoll This post brings back a stupid move I made in my life that was terrifying.When I was in college,a friend & I broke down on a highway into Boston.We did not hitch per say but when a man stopped & offered us a ride to the nearest station we accepted.My friend was in front,I was in back. Next to me was a gun on the seat.I was beyond terrified,rooted to my seat.He did bring us to the station& offered to wait & bring us back. My friend started to 🔽 6d
kspenmoll Say “Sure”, but as we hot out,I interrupted her with sone babbling story about my brother being nearby & we could call him from there.I pinched & she shut up, knowing my story was untrue. When he left, I told her about the gun. Maybe he was just a nice msn but I was not going to get back in that car. This was in the days before cell phones. 😱😱 6d

AmyG @kspenmoll Oh, the stupid things we do in our youth. Yikes! And I do not miss the awkward sex scenes. 🤣 6d
vlwelser The awkward sex scenes are pretty epic but this is better. You just miss having something ridiculous to laugh about. 6d
Sargar114 I was thinking how I‘m not missing them when she‘s brushing over them in this book. I think it would be way too distracting for the main story and spook factor if they were there. 5d
Sargar114 @kspenmoll that is terrifying! Glad you made it out okay, like you said might‘ve been fine but still 😨 5d
Karisa @vlwelser 🤣🤣🤣 5d
Karisa The Lost Girl is Shannon, right? Or is she a red herring? St. James has a lot of wrapping up to do with this book if they need to solve the murder to placate her ghost, deal with their own pasts, and figure out what Quentin‘s deal us too—whew! 5d
BookwormAHN Those sex scenes 😸😸😸 5d
TheBookHippie @vlwelser the glove, a stocking, I miss the laughter breaks 🤣🤣🤣 5d
TheBookHippie @Karisa I don‘t know who the lost girl is🤣 but I think it‘s Shannon. Simone can really twist a tale so 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5d
vlwelser It would be pretty funny if she managed to get a sex scene with a glove or a stocking worked into a 1990s Michigan setting. Though we wore the craziest shit during the grunge era. 5d
TheBookHippie @vlwelser that‘s all I‘m asking 🤣🫣😂 5d

mollyrotondo @kspenmoll so glad you did not get hurt! Some people can be nice but more often than not people are not Good Samaritans. 4d
mollyrotondo Every time her newer stories start to bring up sex I hold my breath thinking oh no is this going to be a St James awkward sex scene? Is she bringing it back? 😂 I miss our conversations about it but think it‘s a good move that she learned she doesn‘t not write a good sex scene 😂 4d
TheBookHippie @mollyrotondo 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I wonder if someone told her!!! 😱 4d

Karisa The sisters are my favorites. We need to see more of them, but I‘m also worried that they are the most in danger of Lost Girl. @kspenmoll I loved Seventeen too! My family was ultra conservative so books and magazines were my window to the outside. 5d

April goes on THE ROAD
GETS IN A CAR
WHO IS TRISH!?!
What in the WHATISHAPPENING?

Librarybelle OMG…this whole scene had me with my hand to my mouth in horror. I would not have gone back on my own, but I am not April. It shows how the Lost Girl can manipulate people. Also makes me wonder about Eddie and the timeline… 6d
kspenmoll This was SCARY!!!! I cannot believe she had the guts to do this ALONE. And Eddie- his story seems suspect now. Everything keeps changing in this book…. 6d
IndoorDame So this version of the ghost/murder/possession/urban legend thing that gets revealed is SUPER creepy on so many levels! My first thought was the police would never believe this as a defense and they should leave town immediately before they‘re implicated in one of the old murders all over again or in a brand new one (that they actually commit). 6d
See All 15 Comments
AmyG Again….I have no clue. It was very hard to stop reading. I am so going to finish this today. 6d
vlwelser So creepy. Love it. 6d
CoffeeNBooks This was so creepy! I can't believe April went back to the road by herself! I was hoping this part would help me make sense of the story, but it didn't- it just added more layers of confusion. 😁 6d
Sargar114 So creepy!!! @IndoorDame 💯 💯 💯 5d
Karisa This part was so over the top! I thought April finally was having a dream/haunting by the Lost Girl. Only in a Simone St. James book is the heroine going to be that bold! Poor Trish! Nice that April had someone check on her after all that… 😅 5d
BookwormAHN I don't get why a dead girl would turn vengeful spirit to that extent 🤷🏼‍♀️ 5d
CBee This part was BATS*** CRAZY BANANA PANTS 😱😳😰 5d
DebinHawaii Very crazy & creepy stuff! I could so not go there alone! I still have no idea how this is going to resolve! @BookwormAHN I agree! What happened to make her so vengeful?! 5d
vonnie862 Why?! And ALONE!!!! 5d
vonnie862 @BookwormAHN I wondered this too. Why is the ghost killing? 5d
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks This made me 😱 ⚡️❌ 4d
mollyrotondo I loved this scene! Another fantastic scene! I think Trish was just another victim of the Lost Girl‘s possession. And April is so tough I love her! She doesn‘t let fear stop her! I think it‘s very plausible that innocent people are being forced to kill people by a ghost but not sure how we resolve something like that other than putting the ghost at rest. But not much justice can be done for the victims. Love this story! Lol 4d

Eddie seeing things
Adopted
His birth mom?
Librarians know everything …
Shannon Haller
Carla her friend
So while listening to Carla I think Shannon is Eddies mom
🤷🏻‍♀️🫠😬🫣
Your thoughts ????

Librarybelle Librarians do know everything (speaking from former professional experience) 😂 But, so good to have a name now for the Lost Girl. 6d
kspenmoll @Librarybelle Yay for librarians! Finding the Lost Girl‘s name is a great leap for April & Eddie 6d
IndoorDame I feel like there must be a connection between Eddie and the Lost Girl for her to drag him to town from so far away, but he said he was 8 years too old to be Shannon‘s kid which seems like a lot, but that makes him way too young to have been a major player in her murder, so if she‘s the Lost Girl I‘m not sure what the connection is yet . 6d
See All 14 Comments
AmyG Ghosts! Who knows why they do anything? I have no clue about why the ghost called them to her. IS there a connection to him? (edited) 6d
vlwelser I think she might be his mom also. He's got some weird shit going on. Like did he kill that 1993 girl? 6d
CoffeeNBooks This part had me so confused! I thought maybe Eddie was Shannon's son, but then we find out that he's too old to be her son, so I don't know what's going on at this point! @AmyG - I agree, who knows why ghosts do what they do! 😆👻 6d
Sargar114 I thought they already ruled that out because he was too old to be the lost girls kid? I‘m more worried that he‘s one of the accidental murderers 🫣 @vlwelser @CoffeeNBooks (edited) 5d
Karisa @IndoorDame Right?! There‘s just got to be a connection. The Lost Girl felt way too connected to Eddie somehow when they tried to leave too. @Librarybelle Hurray for librarians! 😊 5d
BookwormAHN I also agree. There has to be a connection. Did April and her mother ever drive through there? 5d
CBee Ghosts - just when you think you have it figured out, they make sure you don‘t 😂😂😱😱 5d
DebinHawaii This is interesting. Is the age difference of her son & Eddie correct or is someone lying about that or just had misinformation & he is Shannon‘s son or did she possess him in 1993 & he just doesn‘t know/remember it? We don‘t have a lot of pages left to resolve it! 🤔😱 5d
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I was thinking the timeline was off for Shannon to be his mom… 4d
mollyrotondo Initially I thought Shannon could be Eddie‘s mom but I‘m not sold on it now. I‘m thinking he was possessed by Shannon because he was clearly possessed to return to town the second time. I have not been able to piece any clues together 😂 4d
mollyrotondo And Libraries are f***ing awesome!!!! 4d

#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD

April‘s dad abusive
The mom killed him
and also took her money…
From prison ?!
Yikes
Also I KNEW the phone was tapped!!! Ugh.
Girl. Think.
😅How does this tie in ?!?!

Librarybelle I suspected one of them killed the father. And yes…the tapped phone! Ugh! April was not too careful with that! 6d
kspenmoll Although April comes across as on top of everything, making that phone call was a stupid move- but then the shock of having all her savings wiped out I am sure left to this folly. I figured dad was killed. (edited) 6d
IndoorDame Is anyone else concerned with how exactly she got the money from inside prison? She must have had outside help and if I were Eddie and April I wouldn‘t be trusting Mommy Dearest‘s choice in friends and confidants just now… 6d

TheBookHippie @IndoorDame THIS!!!!!!! Who is out there!!!!! Yes. I had multiple thoughts. I think her mom is unhinged and dangerous. 6d
AmyG @IndoorDame I thought the same thing about the money. I just feel bad for April. What a horrible life she had led. 6d
vlwelser Poor April. But also dumb for contacting the prison from Rose's house 6d
CoffeeNBooks It seems like April would have known to be more careful, but I agree that maybe the shock of the money being gone led to her not thinking this through. And I'm definitely curious about how her mother got the money from the bank. 6d
Sargar114 For as on top of everything April seems to be, this really showed her age. I felt bad for her as her fear and emotion got the best of her to make this snafu. Makes sense and helps the story along though…what a difficult life she‘s had 5d
Karisa April‘s backstory is a whole other story in itself! Wowza, I agree @TheBookHippie April‘s mom seems dangerous. Quentin is feeling more dangerous too. They were at the house so fast after the call. It feels like they knew April and Eddie weren‘t going to be able to leave the town. Strange in every direction! 5d
Deblovestoread I suspected about the father, too. And the “us against the world” until it wasn‘t. April continued a live on the run even after mom‘s in jail so seems like something else is going on there. Since they were no longer suspects why was the phone tapped? 5d
Sargar114 @Deblovestoread phone wasn‘t tapped. All prison calls are recorded. They traced the call back to rose‘s using outgoing long distance records and made the connection 5d
TheBookHippie @Sargar114 they were tapping Roses phone I‘ll bet 😵‍💫🤣🫣😝 5d
TheBookHippie @Deblovestoread I think they were watching Rose too but who knows 😅🫣🤣 5d
Deblovestoread @TheBookHippie of course 🤦🏻‍♀️ Rose! 5d
BookwormAHN I would almost be more worried about her mother's friends then the idiot local cops. What I don't understand is why April didn't move the money as soon as her mother was convicted. 5d
TheBookHippie @BookwormAHN mothers name probs first on the account but yes she should have drained it! 5d
CBee @TheBookHippie definitely unhinged. And April absolutely should‘ve moved that money. C‘mon people 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 5d
DebinHawaii It seems too fast for them to get the information for it just to come from the prison calls unless her mother is on some kind of watch list, so I lean to Rose‘s phone being tapped. Her mom is definitely a piece of work! 5d
vonnie862 I suspected that her mom killed her father but not how she did it. Yikes! And then having that money wiped out from prison really shows that mom is not trustworthy. 5d
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks This was my suspicion! But how did she steal the money so easily out of the bank? (edited) 4d
mollyrotondo I figured the mother must have killed him but I did not suspect that her mother couldn‘t be trusted. It‘s so sad that she had an abusive father and a shady untrustworthy mother. I feel bad for Eddie too in all of this. To have the cops out your wife when there are some things that aren‘t always easy to share and in this circumstance have nothing to do with April being a killer. Maybe the mother is up to something but not April. Cops on wrong track 4d

🍽️ I love a good table top. Love. It's a fun piece of zen for me. This book was so much fun to browse through and get ideas from. It doesn't have to be pricey either. I've used fancy towels with vases and fake greenery atop of it from the dollar store along with fun thrift store finds. It's a piece of fun and whimsy and light. I recommend it wholly.

This library book was so much fun 🍽️💕

IndoorDame Love this! I have a friend who suggested as a relaxation technique picking a small surface in the house and resetting it with completely different found objects you already own. It‘s so much fun and totally free. 7d
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame YES!!! And it‘s fun to switch it up again I do this monthly. It‘s a fun look forward to thing. 6d

Hannah Arendt was a German-American historian and philosopher. She was one of the most influential political theorists of the 20th century.

Hannah was complicated and complex and I believe a necessary read.

Fun word lots of thoughts

Fun article https://momentmag.com/jewish-word-zaftig/

The Yiddish word zaftig (zoftik) means "juicy" or "succulent" and comes from the word zaft, which means "juice" or "sap". It entered the English language between the mid-1800s and the early 1900s and became a common adjective in the 1930s

What does Zoftig mean in slang?
-having a full rounded figure
-pleasingly plump.

LiteraryinLawrence When I lived in Boston there was a great Jewish deli/restaurant called Zaftig‘s. 💗 1w

☕️ https://www.foodandwine.com/coffee/how-to-make-turkish-coffee

Tradition dictates that Turkish coffee is prepared with finely ground Arabica coffee, resembling the texture of flour, and is known for its concentrated and aromatic qualities. Turkish coffee is not simply a drink for Turkish people. It is also a big part of the culture. Here, people drink coffee when they want to share their problems and happiness with their friends.
