Finished The Love Songs of W. E. B. Dubois. Loved it. Next “big book” will be either a Grant (Chernow) or Team of Rivals (Goodwin). Thoughts? #booksky #reading

Can anyone recommend a good book with female friendship as a theme?

This is my year to read the longest books on my shelf. Next up? Can’t decide between The Love Songs of W. E. B. Dubois or The Covenent. Help please!

I recommend a yearly reread of The Midnight Library for anyone who lives with woulda/shoulda/coulda regrets (like most Enneagram Type 4s!)

Just read Lost & Found by Kathryn Shultz for the second time. A proudly beautiful memoir with gorgeous writing.

Finished Wolf Hall. Eh. Not sure why people loved it so much. Checking it off my TBR list and moving on!

I see that Melania chose to wear her Hamburglar hat to honor the criminals in the nation--and next to her.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad

Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

In 2025, I’d like to invite people to purposefully read more dense and/or complex prose.

There is nothing wrong with
reading slow or reading something multiple times.

There’s no shame in looking up the definition of words or writing out plot events to analyze their importance.

2025 will be my year of the “long book.” I’ll read all the books I’ve shelved bc of their length while chasing my book-a-week goal. Wolf Hall is first up!
